Free Desktop Wallpapers for your iPad, mobile phone or computer

I have always considered myself a halfway decent photographer, and over the years I’ve collected some of my favorite shots I have taken using my Panasonic Lumix digital camera and made some free desktops/wallpapers for you to download. The reason I love this particular camera so much is because it has a Leica lens- Pansasonic has a deal with them to produce their electronics, and Leica makes the glass. Panasonic’s versions sell for a lot less, but work just as well as far as I can tell. I love the results I am able to get with it, and I’m happy to be able to share them with you!

The IMPOSSIBLE Project Pays Off

The Impossible Project to commercially produce and release new Polaroid film has now started selling film to customers! Hurray! Now my cameras can stop collecting dust and get some use again! Link

Polaroid to resume instant camera and film making

Digital photography may be  all-pervasive, but it has not yet won the war. Link.

Photoshop jobs gone very, very wrong

When you want to sell it, keep it believable. Hire a pro to make it look right, not like silk-screened Pop art. Link

The Impossible Project

An intrepid crew is going to resurrect the Polaroid skunk works by purchasing all of Polaroid’s film production equipment so as to create a new version of their analog Integral film, so that all of us who love our analog, instant Polaroid cameras will not be left with useless doorstops. YAY!

As I scrolled down the page and zoomed further in, I had to keep reminding myself that it’s all from the same image. Each 9 x 18″ image, at 4,000 ppi, fills an entire DVD. Link.
