		<title>Image Overload in the Digital/Internet Age</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I get the impression that my threshold for looking at endless images is lower than for other photographers. I think the reason is that my visual sense has much competition from my other senses. Since the visual is only a fraction of my experience of the world, it feels wrong and/or unwise to let it [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Interpretation of Fine Art Photography</title>
		<description><![CDATA[(Caution: this is a somewhat purposely vague post meant to get you thinking, without necessarily providing closure&#8230;)

If I told you there was something artistically  significant about this photo, would you be able to convince yourself of  this, and even come up with a reason why?
I&#8217;d like to hear from you in the comments&#8230;.about [...]]]></description>

		<title>Buy a Flash Diffuser that Supports this Blog</title>
		<description><![CDATA[One of the most popular flash diffusers out there (and I tell you, there is an endless array of flash diffusers available in the market) has been Gary Fong&#8217;s Lightsphere (R). I just checked and his Lightsphere II plus an Amberdome (used for tungsten lighting) go for about $72 combined.
I have used the Lightsphere, mostly [...]]]></description>

		<title>A Life-Changing Photograph</title>
		<description><![CDATA[If you could promise someone a life-changing photograph, how much do you think it would be worth to them?
$1000? $5000? $10,000?
And what does a &#8220;life-changing&#8221; photograph look like?
One thing I&#8217;m pretty sure of: it&#8217;s probably not posed.
Michael Grace-Martin is a professional wedding, portrait, event, stock, and fine art photographer based in Upstate New York. He [...]]]></description>

		<title>Choosing Lenses for Wedding Photography: Specific Recommendations</title>
		<description><![CDATA[There seems to be a lot of interest in choosing lenses for wedding photography. I am asked this question by colleagues and I&#8217;ve noticed a number of people come to this blog looking for this information.
I addressed this question in a previous post, but I would like to list specific recommendations based on the camera [...]]]></description>

		<title>Photographers: What We&#8217;re Selling</title>
		<description><![CDATA[If almost anyone can afford a decent digital SLR camera + lens, what is it we/you&#8217;re selling as a person trying to make a living&#8211;or, at least, a partial income&#8211;from photography?
Well, one thing you&#8217;re not selling&#8211;at least not in an &#8220;exclusive&#8221; way&#8211;is the ability to generate photos or digital images; almost anyone can do this [...]]]></description>

		<title>Fashion Show Photography: Back Stage</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This SlideShowPro photo gallery requires the Flash Player plugin and a web browser with JavaScript enabled.
As promised, I&#8217;ve finally assembled some photos I took at the annual fashion show in my area. Because of the number of photos included (around 80), I decided to finally figure out how to embed a flash slide show into [...]]]></description>

		<title>Is Photography Over?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[San Francisco&#8217;s Museum of Modern Art is hosting a symposium in which 13 invited participants discuss the question: &#8220;Is Photography Over?&#8221;
Rather than fear such questions (which you might if you&#8217;re a photographer or interested in being a photographer), I think it&#8217;s good to embrace and explore them&#8211;i.e., I think it&#8217;s a healthy exercise. You can [...]]]></description>

		<title>Fashion Show Photography: Even more lessons learned</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So I shot my annual fashion show&#8230;the one I&#8217;ve been doing the past 5 years. It&#8217;s always in early Spring, so I tend to use it as a warm-up for wedding and portrait season, and also to test new equipment. I titled this post &#8220;Even *more* lessons learned&#8221; because I&#8217;ve blogged about fashion photography lessons [...]]]></description>

		<title>Panasonic DMC-FP8: ultra-compact with price, quality &amp; performance I can live with</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In one of my last posts, I think I made it clear I was giving up on finding a small, pocketable digital camera I liked.
Well, the funny thing is, I keep finding myself in situations where I want to take some photos (mostly while with my children) and the only camera I have available is [...]]]></description>
