Thatcher Hullerman Cook has two websites: Winterground, where “photographs represent people and environments suspended in a time, place and circumstance beyond their control” and his editorial & documentary work

Chocolography: Yummy!

If I haven't mentioned it before Thom Hogan's e-books are terrific guides to a great many Nikon cameras and strobe units

Is Kwik Stand a replacement for the much heralded Red Wing light stands that aren't being produced anymore?

VII, the photo agency now has video-clips of its members talking about their projects. Very cool!

Photographer Peter Gregg‘s A Better Bounce Card is simply amazing. If you are a photographer desperately looking for a simple and cost effective way to modify your ugly light from a small strobe, check it out. [Full disclosure – Mr. Gregg hasn't paid me to plug his product]

The National Association of Photoshop Professionals, of which I am a proud member, is really outdoing itself.

A couple of weeks back it announced that it was going to publish Darkroom, a magazine dedicated to Adobe Photoshop Lightroom (wordy, isn't it? so, let's call it APL). Today, I found out that the organization is dedicating an entire portal, a learning site, for the Adobe product.

APL, by the way, is out of beta and available for $199 till May. Goes up to $299 after that. I think there will be several tweaks between now and May, so I'll pounce when the time is ripe.

If you are a photographer, do yourself a favor and become a member of the NAPP. The organization provides you a tremendous learning experience, tons of discounts on products all closely associated with the field of work that we love.

I'll be the first to admit that my attenpt to create images every day has died a quick death. Why? Well, here are the top three reasons excuses:

1) Lack of time
2) Lack of a small/compact camera, though I did try using the Fuji F31fd with mixed results
3) 1 + 2 = 3

I am open for suggestions for a compact camera that produces great images. I might give the Fuji a whirl again. Talk to me people.

For those who visit the site, you are offered a feature to see a preview of the links I provide. This feature is driven by Snap. But lately some of the top bloggers are pulling away from using it on their sites. First Robert Scoble and then Thomas Hawk have decided to say nay to Snap.

What do you say? Should I keep it turned on or should I chuck it? Is it annoying you? Could I do without it?

Speak now or forever hold our tongue (in cheek, of course).
