As the original creator of the Weekly Photo Challenge, I feel a certain responsibility for both its initial success and untimely demise. When this site was in its infancy, we had a very small pool of participants to draw from, and an even smaller team to manage the contests. It was a...

I'm having a very difficult time taking you seriously on the subject of professional portraiture:

Dunno if any of you followed this story, but a mug shot went viral when women on Facebook and Twitter began swooning over this guy's looks. Jeremy Meeks was arrested on multiple weapons charges in California, and when his booking photo was posted online, hilarity ensued. Meeks is being...

Dear math, Please buy a calculator and solve your own problems. I am not a therapist. Sincerely, Browncoat

My parents are selling their house, so I'm doing some photos for them. Here's the dining room shot. Nothing fancy here except for some shutter drag to draw in the ambient lighting. Looking at this now, I wish I had removed the lawn furniture covers and added a kicker light to remove some of the...

Dunno how to better explain it than with a diagram, Wayne: If the viewfinder diopter adjustment is set at 0, it is tuned to 20/20 vision. My prescription is 20/25. Which means if I'm using manual focus on a subject, I'm actually using a focal reference point (like a person's eyes) that is...

They way he explained it to me (and demonstrated by switching lenses on the thingy) is: At 20ft, I should be able to read the 20/20 line on this chart with proper corrected vision. I can read it, but it's blurry. I can, however, read the line above it just fine.

It's open season on that one. But, I'll play nice. These things have a way of working themselves out in the end.

You guys gross me out with all these bugs, so I'm posting a pic of a watch.

There are a lot of tips to be learned in this video. Know your rights:

You're at the far left of this graph. Don't worry, we all start there. You see something that catches your eye, something interesting. It may be shapes, colors, or lines...but you just don't have the knowledge and experience of how to capture it yet. Kind of like a toddler who is just learning...

This is my dream bike: a Harley-Davidson Fatboy Special by Rick's

Here's one from a long time ago, back when I was into R/C. This is a heavily modified Axial Scorpion crawler. There is a lot of custom machining here, all parts I made myself. The CFO said that photography + R/C + model trains was too many hobbies for a big boy to have, so I sold all my R/C...
