Where is summer? - April 13, 2013

Apr 13, 2013 by: G & E

Where is summer? I've really enjoyed this winter, honest I have. Snowshoeing's been great, we had bright sunny days, and it wasn't too cold considering what some winters can be like. But enough already with the snow. I'm ready for some green grass and trees. Thunder storms would be awesome and I've got places to go and things to see. I've even started going back over my old photos to rework the summer images just to feel warmer again. Reworking the images is not a badidea as I've learned a few things since I took the images and can make them look better now. To help me do just that I've added NIK Collection to my software tools. They gave me a great deal and it includes a separate program for black and white images. Yes, that is why you see so many black and whites where you did not see them before. It is wet outside today but the snow has stopped or at least slowed down. I'll process a few more images an maybe, by Monday, the sun will even come out again. Stay warm!

Podcast

Mar 5, 2013 by: G & E

I had a conversation and a cup of coffee with Terry Lawson. Now normally having a conversation isn't blogworthy but with Terry Lawson it is. You see Terry's conversations are actually the raw material for podcasts. Terry hosted me as a photographer in Edmonton and now anybody can hear me on Itunes or at Terry's website. It was a actually a very surreal environment for hosting an interview. I stepped into Terry's basement office and saw all sorts ofsound equipment. I naturally thought that this was for the podcast and thathe would be fiddling with equalizers and balancing switches while I talked. That is what I thought until he said,"lets get started" and then he held out his Apple phone and started to ask me questions. Okay so it didn't have the same atmosphere as a massive microphone with headphones might have had but it worked. Talking to Terry is easy. He is an Edmonton photographer and retired engineer with many interesting stories to tell. He also has a knack for finding ghost towns, especially in Saskatchewan. You may have seen some of his work on Google Plus. If you do have the pleasure of crossing paths with Terry, be sure to ask him what area of the City he lives in. I'll give you a hint, it is very well known by its unofficial title but in the summer there are no distinguishing features that would hint at how famous it is. Now for the links, to hear the podcast go to http://photographsbyglen.com/podcasts/PodcastInterview.mp3 or http://https://itunes.apple.com/ca/podcast/terry-lawson-photography-conversations/id593283875?mt=2 and finally to see Terry Lawson's website, visit http://www.terrylawsonphotography.ca
