Liv and a New Workflow
Monday, January 25th, 2016
I recently did a new shoot with the lovely and wonderful Liv Sage. Since I’ve been experimenting with alternatives to Adobe Photoshop for my editing, I decided to use different software for processing this new shoot. The starting point for my new workflow is DxO Optics Pro. It does the file conversion from the original […]
DxO Works
Saturday, January 16th, 2016
For my photographer friends: I’m beginning to establish a workflow with DxO Optics Pro. It seems to be working pretty well. I just needed to make a print of the photo in the last post here that was selected for the upcoming show at LightBox Photographic Gallery. I had already processed the photo in Photoshop. […]
I Hate Adobe
Sunday, October 11th, 2015
The time I have feared has come. Windows 10 broke PhotoShop CS6. I was able to install it from my disk (which I purchased legally, btw). But it would not update to add the changes that have happened since I bought it. Adobe, of course, offered no help at all. Their attitude is: “tough luck, […]
A Different Tone for the Gorge
Tuesday, July 24th, 2012
A couple months ago my friend Cherrystone told me about a model who was going to be visiting our area who he thought I might like to work with. As soon as I saw Crimson Reign’s portfolio I knew she could be a great addition to the project I’m working on at a beautiful gorge […]
In The Studio with Sugar Dumpling
Tuesday, July 17th, 2012
Sugar Dumpling was good enough to come by the studio so I could play around with a bunch of lenses on the Olympus. Of course, being the totally organized person that I am, I failed to take notes on which lens I was using for which photos, and since there is no lens data in the […]
Back In The Canyon Again
Friday, January 13th, 2012
Back to our little hike down Wirepass Canyon with Brooke and Kat. This is actually a pretty short canyon, as slot canyons go. It’s also very easy to get into and out of and, because it is so short, it’s also much less dangerous than some canyons. And it’s beautiful. One of my favorite places. […]
Welcome to Twenty-Twelve

“You cannot see wilderness from a road. What you see from a road is something different- a scene, a panorama, a picture; but you do not feel anything.” –Edward Abbey Getting this new year started off with a post. I’m looking forward to 2012 with hope. It could be a great year. A lot of […]
Corel…hmmmm…
Saturday, December 3rd, 2011
I downloaded a trial of Corel PaintShop Pro today and gave it a try. I’m impressed. Not exactly the same as PhotoShop, of course, but a very useful, versatile program that looks like it could do everything I need at a very reasonable cost and no issues with upgrades or RAW processing for new cameras. […]
Boycott Adobe
Friday, December 2nd, 2011
I’ve ranted here about Adobe before. I was upset when I found that they were not supporting the last version of PhotoShop, CS4, just one version back from the current CS5. That meant that I could not process the RAW files from my Nikon D7000 with CS4. I don’t upgrade every time Adobe comes out […]
Instant Julie and a PhotoShop Rant
Friday, September 9th, 2011
Like pretty much everyone else who has been doing photography for any amount of time, I’ve worked from time to time with Polaroid instant materials. “Back in the day” I used Polaroids to check lighting and exposure when working with strobe lighting in the studio. The digital equipment we use these days has completely eliminated […]
