Yesterday, there was an almost perfect post over at dps called 8 Tips for Mom-a-raz-zo Photographers. Perfect because a) the title grabbed my attention immediately in google reader, b) the photos examples by Mom/Photographer Elizabeth Halford were stunning, c) the tips were good and d) I knew immediately I was going to love reposting this for the Mom-a-raz-zo’s I know and love to read.

I was mildly disappointed that all the photos in EHPhoto’s flickr stream had the “Blog this?” option turn off, and were not creative commons. I’ve been listening to photographers on TWIP talk about the evils and problems of flickr theft for professional photographers. So I thought, what the heck?! I’ll flickr mail her and ask permission. A brief, pleasant exchange of a couple emails, and she was happy for me to post this image. She’s UK based, so it’s unlikely she’s going to come photograph the Dirksen twins, but her website is worth checking out.

I had switched from Google Reader to NewsGator in the search for the perfect RSS reader interface on the iPhone. I did like NewsGator’s iPhone app, but they are now suspending their free web based rss interface. Since that means they will be using Google Reader as their feed source in the future, I wanted to preserve access to the clippings I made while using NewsGator. So, tada, a link to the iPaulo newsgator clippings! They should be public, just like the iPaulo Google shared items page. If not, let me know. Thanks!

I’ve subscribed to the Modern Hiker rss feed for a while, but this map works as a great summary. Green pushpins are easy hikes.

I love let me google that for you.com!!

I took at least a dozen shots of this life guard station and none of them looked as good as the sunset felt. So I started throwing sliders around in Aperture (a tool I’m just starting to learn) and made this! It was a blast.

I haven’t gotten around to adding titles, locations and backstory, but here is a slice of the pictures I took on our Alaska cruise.

I was enjoying reading this article entitled “The Revealing Art of Self-Portrait“. Then I got to final artist, Adolf Hilter, and I became totally fascinated. Be sure to read the original article called “Face of a Monster” and the comments. Good stuff.
