In this internet age, having an online portfolio is not a just a good idea, it's a must. A web site is the best way to reach a large amount of people and easily showcase your work. Employers, clients, and galleries want to see what you've done and understand your point of view as a photographer. If you don't have a web site, get one. If you have one, make it better.

Memory cards or flash memory cards are non-volatile, solid-state memory storage devices used in digital cameras, cell phones, camcorders, music players, and other electronic devices. They are cheap to produce, durable, and reliable. Memory cards can be erased and recorded indefinitely and are continually increasing in storage capacity.

By now I am sure you have heard the term "edgy" typically you hear this term used in photography or graphic design, and sometimes the term is used to describe a model's look. Well just some food for thought here, but as we use this term more and more, it really starts to lose meaning

I would just like to share an experience I have had using cheap memory cards. I currently own a Nikon D200 and a Nikon D300 that use CF memory cards. Since I first bought them, I have been using either a Sandisk or Lexar in either the 2 Gig or 4 Gig versions. Well, a few weeks ago I saw an ad in the paper for a Kingston 4 Gig for like 14 bucks, at Frys Electronics. I thought what the heck I will buy one and if it does not work out , I have only wasted 14 bucks. I also thought since it was a Kingston it had to be good, I mean after all Kingston makes great RAM, so how could I go wrong?

Well, here is the story, Photography was my passion,when I was in high school, however; it was a passion that did not pay the bills. I remember spending countless hours in the lab at school hangin with friends developing pictures what a blast that was. Photography did lead me to a job at a photo lab(remember those?) and it was not a bad job, I mean I made some decent coin for a 21 year old dude, but I worked like 80 hours a week, so in reality salary was not worth it , I think it worked out to like minimum wage or something. The best part of that job was training people in the dark! We used an infrared scope and it was soooo funny to see people in the dark with their eyes wide open, trying to find things in a pitch black room. We did have a guy who was bind that all he did was crack open film canisters and put them on a giant reel to be developed. His name was Mario, and he was cool since he could tell who he was speaking to just by smelling their cologne or deodorant. The other very interesting part was seeing all the pictures people had shot come through, as you can imagine there were so crazy sheet that came through. The Sheriff's office used to send stuff through, and we saw cops burning piles and piles of weed, and the occasional dead person. Of course the homemade porn was always interesting, since most people think no one ever sees that stuff, what they don't know is, there was one maintenance man who would keep copies and had stacks, and stacks of homemade porn. Wonder where all the stuff is today? Probably scanned and found its way onto the Internet!

About two months ago I put up a casting call for a tattoo shoot, and had a model respond, (yes she is on MM) we exchanged emails, and she actually had a tattoo artist in mind, and I said sure no problem, whatever you want to do after all it is a tattoo and those are not erasable. Anyway we confirm with the tattoo artist, and get the week before and I leave her voice mails, and emails because the tat artist wanted to meet prior to the tat so that he could redraw or do anything he had to do with the artwork. Well, this model stopped responding and never returned my calls, so I wrote her off, and sent her a polite email telling her how unprofessional that was , but I am sure it was not heeded. Really I have had so many flake it doesn't even phase me anymore.

A Virtual Journey

I have allot of people ask me, why do you have so many domain names( at the time of this writing I have around 30)? Well, the short answer is, I am addicted to the net, and as hard as I try not to , I end up coming back to it. You see I am a frustrated Intreprenuer( Kind of a made up word on my part). Someday I may actually even make some money on this crazy thing( you know like "The Secret!")

About 10 years ago someone told me I had a hearing problem, I said "what?" had to put that one in. The hearing loss is about 90% of in my right ear. The person who called my attention to it, was wondering why I was not responding to them when they were speaking to me, unless they were on my left side of my body. This person was someone I worked with at Motorola, she actually thought I as ignoring here. My wife as well, always thought I was just ignoring her too. I went to a doctor and had a hearing check, and indeed I had lost a great majority of a hearing in the left ear. The loss pertains to certain levels of sounds so that rules out a hearing aid, since that would only amplify the sounds that I do hear, and I can tell you everything sounds like Mickey Mouse is talking, so you can only imagine how annoying that is, so I would rather just be without. There is a hearing aid that acts like a transmitted in one ear, then the other ear is the receiver, but think about that. A hearing aid like that would cause me to think sounds are coming from one side of me , when in reality they are coming from the opposite side, that in my mind would be truly upsetting, and could actually be a little dangerous. The transmit/receive hearing aid is also about eight thousand dollars, yikes!
