And now for something completely different




For the moment, PAF is up-to-here with fucking politics. Taking a little joy in beauty and creativity helps to recharge the batteries.

PAF loves digital photography.


I'm getting better, but still on a learning curve. Some resources that I have come to rely on include the sites of Digital Photography Review and Photo.net . Although the latter does include a fair share of stubbornly traditional photography purists and outright photo snobs, both have loads of useful information and allow exchanges of info with experienced photographers in the various discussion forums on each site. Also useful are the how-to articles at Popular Photography, especially the digital processing advice offered by Debbie Grossman.

Among the best books to help the aspiring pixel-pusher learn to use the most powerful features of the otherwise dauntingly complicated Photoshop is Katrin Eisman's Photoshop Restoration & Retouching. Also exceptionally useful is Martin Evening's Adobe Photoshop for Photographers.
