After thinning down my blogroll, a couple of blogs that I have been reading and looking at for a while are now being added to my blogroll. Both have some very unique viewpoints (you gotta luv the puns) and interests. Doug Plummer's blog Dispatches follows his interest in dancing and he discusses it best there. But it...

Morning coffee chats
One of the nice aspects of my professional career as a business consultant, is that I often move about, but usually end up on some long term assignments. After hunkering down at a client's facility and engaging in some nice morning conversations, I soon find some folks with similar interests in art and photography. And some great friendships...

Freeway Series: backyard landscape
This is a backyard that I have been watching for the for the last couple of months as I drive this section of the I-15 freeway. Not a lot has happen here, maybe the 1950's Ford pick up has moved a tad bit. Still your basic dirt yard landscaping. Another difference with the Coastal Freeway, if a brick wall...

But a lot of times it seems that I am in a state of quasi-awareness. What I look at does not always fully register and there are many times, e.g. a long... Continue Reading →
CS3 B&W workflow update
With my Photoshop work flow for creating my black and white image, one of the first things I did after making the RAW conversion, was to make the global highlight and shadow adjustments by applying a Layers adjustment level. It now appears that with the new Photoshop CS3, I have stopped applying a Levels adjustment layer to... Continue Reading →
Thinking about wide format printers
Canyon Tracks (from the series Bad Trip - Sad Trip) As I start to think about the exhibiting of the series Bad Trip - Sad Trip, I am also contemplating much larger prints. Thus the need of a wider format printer, as I diffinately prefer doing my own printing. The interest in larger prints was... Continue Reading →
ArtBiz101 – Marketing: Place
In discussing the marketing of your fine art “products”, the Place is all those places where transactions take place, also called the “Channels of Distribution”. This not only includes where your collector buys your artwork, but all of those in between places where your artwork moves from you to the final sale. Most products that... Continue Reading →
