VISITING?
HOW WAS THIS
SITE MADE?
This is my entry into the exciting world of blogs. Click here to see what I have to say about photography, teaching, life and then some.
I have a few sites which I enjoy visiting on a regular basis.
Lasting Impressions Photography (impressions.cc) - A pair of excellent photographers based in Nappanee, Indiana that have a very creative outlook on projects and take a unique perspective when shooting events, people or places.
B&H Photo Video (www.bhphotovideo.com) - Based out of New York, I usually purchase my film or camera equipment through B&H. Fair prices, quick shipping and very knowledgeable.
Canon Cameras (www.canon.com) - Since I shoot with Canon, I might as well give them a plug. Great cameras that last a lifetime!
Chromasia (www.chromasia.com) - Photographer David J. Nightingale's web site is fun to visit, not only because he has fantastic images, but also because he's integrated a blog for discussing his photos.
Photography Magazines - Here are a few of the magazines which I turn to for creative inspiration, tips, or instruction on how to do new things:
B&W Black & White Magazine - www.bandwmag.com
Nature's Best Photography - www.naturesbestmagazine.com
Shutterbug Magazine - www.shutterbug.net
TaigMarks, Inc. Advertising & Public Relations (www.taigmarks.com) - Yes, this is a plug for the agency my father works for. But they're good at what they do. So if you need advertising, public relations or marketing services, check out Taig Marks.
My website was made using Microsoft FrontPage XP. Most photos were scanned in using my Epson Perfection 1660 Photo scanner. Some photos were processed at my local Target store which provided high quality, digital images on CD. I highly recommend this if you can find it, especially if you haven't gone digital (like me....shhhh, don't tell anyone).All photos were cropped and touched up with Adobe Photoshop 7.0. The photo albums were made using JAlbum, a free web photo album software and photo gallery software which is quite easy to use.
