It's amazing how many sites talk about lighting for photography! I was introduced to the strobist a few months ago, but not for the amazing lighting series he does, but for the information regarding how to promote yourself through photo forums.

A few days ago I said I was going to get the Canon 3-pack of extension tubes. Yesterday I rang TED's, PW's, Camera.House and Diamonds to get prices. To make it more fun, I also asked for the price of a Canon EF 1.4x II Extender. Diamonds were the only one to tell me they... Continue Reading →

I need to find time to see a few good movies. After a discussion about "Being John Malkovich" with a work colleague (after she saw me reaching into the back of the stationery-cupboard), I was sent an email with a list of further movies I should watch.
