    Land of the Blind

    http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0433405/ A lot of you movie buffs might have already seen this. If you haven't, I recommend it. It has a little of everything: Fahrenheit 451, 1984, etc. It adds the twist, that I haven't seen before (I think), of starting with an unsatifactiry system, folowed by...

    Work Lights

    So I just bought a couple of the work lights from Home Depot and I would like to recommend that noone buy these lights. The light is totally uneven. You get two "hot" lines parallel to the ground. The only thing I could see using these lights for is bouncing them off the ceiling to up the...

    For the Record.

    I received an infraction as well. Noone is being picked on. I admit I went over the top. But I stand by the principles I espoused in my posts. I only admit I could have worded them differently. Indietalk is one of the better forums I've had the pleasure to be part of. That's why I pay for my...

    Framing

    I added some photos to my allbum. These are practice shots where I was trying to consciously take a good picture, as far as shot comopisition goes. They auto exposure/focus, so don't critique that. What I would like is feed back on the composition/framing itself. Thanks guys...
