123RF.com. Where do I begin? Well, for starters, I signed up at 123RF in January 2008. Over the past 3 1/2 years I have added to my portfolio, which probably started around 600 images and is now at 900+ images approved on the site.
I live in the United States, I am not sure where the majority of you folks are from, but I imagine from all over the world.
Lately on the news I have seen a lot of “stories” about what’s happening in Egypt, but the one thing I can’t seem to wrap my head around is how the American media seems to think we only care about ourselves.
For the past few months I have been using the WordPress plugin WP Super Cache on this website, and was rather disappointed with it’s performance.
I have been wanting to get some good fog photos for a long time, but I have never gotten a good chance (at least a chance that I felt like getting out to take photos!)
This morning was the exception. I finally got up early enough and got out in the woods to take some photos of fog in the woods. Check them out:
I finally had a chance to get out and take some photos this weekend, the past few weeks have been rainy and cloudy, but this weekend was gorgeous! Take a look-see and tell me what you think:
Grand Teton Mountains Faux-HDR
I stumbled across a tutorial for how to make HDR photos from a single image today, and I saw a reference to Topaz Adjust and this is what I came up with, here is the original photo:

Some Eye Candy
In February 2007, I decided to give FeaturePics a try. I uploaded my entire portfolio (which then consisted of around 600-700 photos) and most were approved. Throughout the following 2 years, I didn’t have any sales. Then FeaturePics decided that their catalog was growing sufficiently that they could take the opportunity to weed out some of the less popular images.
The other day I stumbled upon S3stat.com. S3STAT is a service that takes the detailed server access logs provided by Amazon’s CloudFront and Simple Storage Service (S3), and translates them into human readable statistics, reports and graphs.
A little eye candy.
Dreamstime, much like Shutterstock, was very hard for me to get approved in order to sell images. Finally they approved my submissions, and I could start uploading regularly.
Well I finally got around to taking some photos today. It is pretty cold and windy outside, so my fiance has all her flowers inside, so I was able to get some pretty good shots (at least I think!) Check them out:
