Banned from RMSP Flickr Group?
Anyone but me get banned from the RMSP Flickr Group? I don't think I have pissed anyone off lately, but you never know with me :-} Seriously though, I don't think I have even posted anything to the group. Just checking.
Thanks,

The Latest SIAlumni.com News
Hard to believe it was SI 2003 when the idea for this site came to me as I was sitting in one of the classes in Missoula. Much has changed since then. The internet and social networking have added terms to our vocabulary like google and tweet. And now there's Facebook. So what to do with SIAlumni.com?
I am not going to let it die. I think it's important to have a quieter place... [More]
Site Migration and Updates
All,
Yes, we are still waiting on me to plan our migration to a new web system for SIAlumni.com. As it turns out I am currently focusing most of my commercial work on developing web systems and I now have access to the right people to help us make the move. I will handle the design/architecture of the new site (it will most likely become a group on my site - something like...

Here are some of the other projects that... [More]
Lightroom 2
Adobe has released Lightroom 2. Looks like some local adjustments have been added.
Don't Give Up
All,
We are clearly loosing some steam on the site, but please do not give up. I am as guilty as the next and it hurts the site when we do not have regular contributions from at least a few members. I am hard at work on a few parallel projects that have kept me from the site and photography in general. But the good news is they all have to do with social networking on the web and...

... [More]Photo paper bargain shopping!
Just had to share with people who would truly care and understand...
Went to Office Max with my mom today and decided to browse through the photo paper aisle. Usually I don't pay much attention to the aisle of store-brand, HP-brand, and Kodak-brand low-end photo papers, but I was killing time. Turns out they actually had some of the higher-quality Epson paper in 8.5x11 and 4x6... [More]
Assignments Etc...
My apologies. I have been swamped the last few months doing SOTP (stuff other than photography). So, let's call April's assignment: "Good Ideas for Future Assignments."
Post your ideas in the comments and I'll start working them into our monthly assignments starting in May.
And I have not forgotten about our site upgrade either. Still looking at the end of this year by the... [More]
What to do with all those old slides and negs...
I know many of us (from the olden days of film cameras) probably have our own slide scanners for digitizing slides, but for those of you who don't or just don't have the time to scan old slides and negs, I discovered a neat website -- http://www.scancafe.com
You send them a box of slides, they scan, make standard corrections (color, exposure,... [More]
Mar 08 Assignment - Redo
Since we did not have much interest and I am SUCH a nice guy I'll just extend Feb's assignment to include March too.
Weather and it's influences.
Aperture 2 Released
Apple has released Aperture 2.0 and I just got done taking it for a spin. Here are some thoughts:
- Interface has changed for the better. A bit less cluttered and the filmstrip option for thumbnails is nice. Someone at Apple has been using Lightroom I guess. Imagine that - a better interface through user testing. Who would have thought it. But that's a whole other post... [More]
Feb 08 Assignment - Weather
Well, we are a week into Feb and one of the big items on the news (besides the elections) has been the weather. So, I thought it fitting to see who can capture the subtle, and sometimes not so subtle, influences from the weather around us. I have been on a trip to California and get to go back to my truck in IL that, by now, is probably plowed under a few feet of snow. Anyone have a... [More]
What would you do with $4,000?
No, I didn't win the lottery... (gotta play to win!) I have just been thinking about spending some of the freelance job money that I managed to squirrel away over the years.
So here are some options I am considering:
1) Go crazy and buy a Canon 1DmkIII --> I think they have almost got the bugs worked out... besides, it has to be an improvement over my 3.5 year old 20D, right?... [More]
