Caring for Your Introvert →
How many people are introverts? I performed exhaustive research on this question, in the form of a quick Google search. The answer: About 25 percent. Or: Just under half. Or—my favorite—”a minority in the regular population but a majority in the gifted population.”
My name’s Greg, and I’m an introvert.

Can I make your photograph?
…and it makes me glad that i made these photographs. that i make photographs.
I like these simple sentences by Megan McIsaac. I like that she describes “making photographs” instead of taking them. It may seem like a hair-fine semantic argument, but I think it’s important, and it’s something I’ve been struggling with lately.
I started making portraits. I...
We Are All Photographers

“Manual focusing, manual exposure, and I try not to look at my LCD screen very often. I really believe it is important. Especially with today and how accessible digital photography is: everyone is buying DSLR’s and becoming a “photographer.””
I hear this sentiment frequently. “Now with digital, everyone thinks they’re a photographer”. And the more defensive, “owning an...

The number of duels that Jackson took part in varies depending on what source you consult; some say 13, while others rank the number somewhere in the 100’s, both of which are entirely too many times for a reasonable human being to stand in front of someone who is strying to kill them with a loaded gun.
On one occasion, he...

Fanstastic recommendations!
To you, the one not writing
8secondsofawesome:
There are no tricks. You likely know the basic rules. Reading a bunch of books won’t help you start.
You need to start writing. Do it lots and do it often. After writing, look at it after a few days or months and figure out ways to improve it and make it better.
Show it to people. Listen to what they think you wrote. Don’t argue. Decide what will make it better.

These Tax Day Tea Parties are complete bullshit.
Conservatives lose power for four months and all hell breaks loose? Right. But hey, good for you. If I could have had television networks supporting my protest of the impending Iraq war back in the day, I’d have gladly accepted the help too.
I’d rather see them protest by staying off the roads, out of our public schools,...

Supporting Photographers on Tumblr and Beyond
spaceminer:
Let’s encourage proper photo credits as an internet norm, starting here and now.
I love Tumblr. Since joining in January, I’ve only enjoyed it more and more, as I’ve discovered funny, beautiful, intelligent, and heart-warming tumblelogs.
But there’s this one thing.
While the great quotes I come across here are almost always attributed to their source, photographs are almost always...

I seek subjects
I’m beginning a new fine-art series of portraits and desire subjects. I want gorgeous, average, grotesque. Old and wise, young and naive. The flawless and the flawed, inside and out. If you have a face, I want to see it, to tell its story. Email me your interest (steampoweredmedia@gmail.com) and we can meet for coffee or something to discuss the project details. If we have good energy, you...

How a web developer got her groove back. This advice applies to creative work of any kind:
The weekend before last, I was going through some of my old domains that were collecting dust at various registrars, when it occurred to me that I should just do something with them. Most of them were silly domains that I assumed wouldn’t take much effort to build something for...
