My name is Jacob and this is my photography/personal/soap box/anything-it-needs-to-be blog, with a heavy emphasis on all things photography. Stick around for awhile and see if anything piques your interest. You can navigate around using the menus on the right side of the site.

Also, I'm currently engaged in a 365 photo project, where I take a picture a day for an entire year (read more about it here). So if you see anything with a '365' in the title, that's what it's for. And since it's a new photo every single day, you never quite know what you're going to get.

Seems to resemble every other week unfortunately. But, that's life. I did, however, have time to look for around for some information and inspiration on some of my favorite photo blogs.

I mentioned a couple of days ago that I recently got my light meter in the mail, and wouldn't you know it, Wizwow (Don Giannatti) put up a very helpful article on light meters at his site, Lighting Essentials. I know there are many photographers who swear by NOT using a light meter, but after having limited use with it I think I'm a converted user. If you're interested, give it a read.

Another article you might want to check out is a pseudo-photo diary on the situation in Afghanistan that's up at the Big Picture blog. There's a few graphic images there (they give you the option not to see those, though) but there are some really telling photos as well as some amazing captures. Regardless of your position on the war, as a photographer, it's quality stuff. If you've got a few minutes, take a look.

And one small reminder- if you plan on buying a G11, that Best Buy coupon I mentioned expires at the end of this month, so don't be a slacker and make sure to save yourself around $50.

Have a good weekend.
