I met Anjali Bhargava at the Eddie Adams Workshop, about 7 years ago. Our paths have crossed thanks to her being in NY and my involvement with SAJA. As a fellow desi photographer, we have been in touch through Facebook. A couple of days back I found out that she has a print sale going on until January 15, 2008.

8×12 unframed: $85
12×18 unframed: $110
8×12 framed to 11×14*: $140
12×18 framed to 12×18*: $170

“*My frame of choice is black metal and is an 1/8″ wide which sets off the images beautifully without interfering. 12×18 prints will be full frame. Framed 8×12 images will be printed on 11×14 paper. Payments can be made by check or via PayPal.”

Check out the images she has on sale here.

This one is my personal favorite, called “Blue”:

It's cold outside and snuggling in front of the television might be a bigger draw than to get out and shoot some pictures for yourself. How do you keep motivated or inspired?

Lighting Mods suggests clipping coupons. Hey, no seriously, check it out. Based on an article in Digital Photo, Lighting Mods points to a PDF that you can print and then clip with some photo-centric words on them. Mix and match them and voilá you have the directive to go out and find or create what those words describe.

Too lazy to clip coupons? Com'on … ok, for you folks there is this awesome site by Viljo Marrandi that generates these words on the fly.

Get off your duff. Get inspired.

Need I say it? I love visiting the Strobist website on an almost daily basis. If you are a photographer, especially one who is starting out, you would be well served if you bookmark the site. Well, I had always known that David Hobby (the guy behind Strobist) had an active Flickr site. I hadn't publicized it before, but check it out here. It's full of great inspiration.

And, eh hmm .. did you download that PDF off of the Strobist site I told you about? Get to it!

I gave myself a gift. I bought Rule of Nerds. I flipped to the back cover and showed my wife one of the comic strips and it even had her grinning. Yes, it is humor that is more directed towards photographers, but Aaron Johnson is so on target. Get the book. For the photographer in your life. It's the holiday season. We all could use a good laugh.
