Note to Self: New Year's Resolutions.
Write More. Write every day. Remember that Moleskine you have in your backpack? The one you carry everywhere? The one you bought a special slip-on pencil holder for? Yeah, well it needs to be put to more regular use. It’s there, as are all of your fancy micron pens that you love. WRITE.
Read More. Otherwise you’re spending way too much on books. Don’t let all your money go to...

New Year’s Resolutions – A Photographer’s Goals «... →
1. Learn a new style of photography. If you’ve always shot weddings, spend a week shooting wildlife or macro. Mix it up.
2. Take a workshop or two or three. Set a goal to make photographic education a 2011 priority.
3. Rent, buy or borrow some new gear and become familiar with it for the sole purpose of broadening your photo horizons.
4. Give back. Find something philanthropic to do with...
Photographers and Designers →
It’s no secret that today’s photographers need to have skills that go beyond shooting pictures. Just as the old-timers needed to understand film, know how to develop negatives and learn darkroom techniques to make a photo look its best, so no modern digital photographer will get far without a basic understanding of image editing.

End of Year Thoughts - via After Photography
At the end of 2010 a few trends have become much clearer:
1. Books that use photographs are in a moment of renaissance, the awaited pushback against the digital-ephemeral and a new embrace of paper (reminiscent of painting’s expansion as photography took center stage). Made with digital tools, these books, usually from small publishers, take risks that transcend the tired monographs with...

Non-verbal communication is also called silent language and plays a key role in...

+++: I'm just pushing at you
---: yes, but for what purpose?
+++: to see what happens
---: oh, you're one of those..
+++: I'm trying to make a picture of you, and I have the basics, but I was just seeing if I could fill in some of the edges. and I'm too tired to do it tactfully. which is a stupid excuse.
---: hahaa
+++: so I say silly things and hope you say something interesting in response
---: you seem to be quite determined to figure me out. dont get me wrong, understanding others is a perfectly good goal to have
+++: how many times will I see you? probably once or twice more
---: i suppose, but who knows? the future can hold pretty much anything

If I post that piece I made that’s a tad bit more than somewhat connected to you, will you see it? Will you get upset and freaked out about it?

Amy Stein: “Our lives and days are filled with plans. We have destinations big and small and set out on a journey to accomplish our goals. This is the essence of hope. But, we don’t live in a vacuum and often external forces or our own unknowing hands disrupt our best intentions. It is this moment between expectation and outcome that fascinates me…”

“…photobooks have provided a very welcome way to get exposed to risk and fun. Mind you, publishing books itself is a big risk. But with smaller editions now easily doable, the risk has become smaller. Add to that a lot of people who won’t just publish yet another gallery-show-on-paper - the Dutch clearly have the edge in that respect right now - and the photobook market has easily...

read this. it’s a lovely graphic novel.
“Clumsy is Jeffrey Brown’s debut work Clumsy is the bittersweet story of a year long, long distance relationship, told through snippets of everyday life, drawn in a simple and elegantly awkward style that heightens the emotional impact and leaves you reminiscing about your own past love affairs. Oh, and it also has a lot of sex.”
