You may have noticed that I haven't updated this blog in a few months and that's partly because I've been busy writing a new book for Lark Books (on how to win digital photo contests). I've also had an unusually high number of photo assignments for some reason. No complaints!
But the real reason that I haven't updated this recently is that I've started yet another blog (my third) called the Photo Tip of the Day blog. I began the blog about three months ago and, miracle of miracles, I've actually been able to keep up with the daily postings (well, OK, occasionally I'm a day or two behind!). So please visit that blog, especially if you're just learning photography or want to move to a higher level of shooting. I think you'll find the daily tips both useful and interesting. And I'm always open to suggestions for topics, so feel free to write!
I will keep this blog fresher from now on and will probably use it more for industry news, equipment reviews, longer shooting tips, etc.
By the way, the shot here is of my girlfriend in Monument Valley in Utah and the photo is the subject of one of the tips on the new blog: when it's OK to break the rules of composition.
And by the way, as of this posting date, I'm still looking for contest-winning photos to illustrate my new book (the entire book is being illustrated by contest-winning photos by amateur photographers), so if you've ever won a photo contest, send me the details and the photo and we'll see if we can't work it into the book. You'll get a small fee, a free copy of the book and your name in lights :)
