Saffron, my other blog is humming along quite nicely. Have you checked it out lately?

Oh, how I wish I could go hear Kadri Gopalnath and Rudresh Mahanthappa jam at this concert, sponsored by the Asia Society

F-Stop Beyond “delves into the heart, mind, and soul of the visual artist.”

Just Seeds is “a decentralized community of artists who have banded together to both sell their work online in a central location and to collaborate with and support each other and social movements.”

TrekEarth: “The underlying theme of TrekEarth is learning more about the world through photography. TrekEarth fosters this by allowing photographers to display their work grouped by regions in a supportive and orderly environment.”

I am forgetful. This is a fact. So, I use Wakerupper [ok, not just yet as it is still in beta] to receive telephone reminders

Pay It Forward: Photography Resources Be sure to borrow, but also give back. This is a terrific website!

Sankara Nethralaya On YouTube!

October 1, 2007 by Seshu | Editor & Publisher

Sankara Nethralaya, the preeminent ophthalmic research and teaching hospital based in Chennai (ok, “Madras” to us old skoolers) now has a YouTube presence. Click here to see all their new videos. The institution also has a blog, omlog.

[Open disclosure: My father had a hand in founding this institution!]

Bouncing in and out. That's me. For the last few weeks life sure has been bumpy; interesting and challenging in some ways. But also very happy. My wife and I welcomed a new addition into our home and named him Ketan. Pictures on my other blog, Saffron. Check it out.

I listen to NPR and the news now more than ever. It's not that I eschew music. The music I hear today [old foggie alert] simply sounds so canned and lifeless and boring and redundant. Anyway, back to what I was trying to say … I have discovered a TiVo-like solution for radio. Rogue Amoeba just launched Radioshift. Radioshift allows you to program your computers, connected to a broadband connection, to record your favorite programs. Cost: $32. The experience: Priceless.

No!Spec [via APAD again] “is a great website dedicated to educating creatives about the value of their work and the problems of working on spec.”

For Macintosh users this may make some sense to buy and use, especially when trying to drill down on your searches: FileSpot. I am considering buying this.

But I bought Hazel yesterday to do some Fall cleanup of my Macintosh G5. Click here to check out a screencast about Hazel.

South Asians In Media & Marketing Association Summit

September 13, 2007 by Seshu | Editor & Publisher

South Asians In Media & Marketing Association, or SAMMA, is meeting in NYC on September 28 and 29. It “brings together top executives, visionaries, and rising stars to explore and debate the exciting future of media, marketing, and entertainment, with an eye towards the incredible rise of South Asians in the media, marketing and entertainment industries.”

I would go if my wife and I weren't expecting an imminent addition to the family. And I do mean … imminent. [grin]

Film Is Dead, Digital Is King

September 11, 2007 by Seshu | Editor & Publisher

Ok, now that I have got that off of my chest, I have to mention Jonathan Canlas' workshop, Film Is Not Dead, in Hawaii, no less, where he will be teaching people like you and me about going back to film and using it to capture moments at weddings. Here is the official website.

While that's certainly a noble gesture, I am selling some all of my dated film [stored in a cool dry place of course]. The first person to email me with the subject heading – “FILM IS DEAD, DIGITIAL IS KING” – gets about 100 rolls of 35mm film for $100. That includes shipping within the borders of the United States of America. And, yes, I do accept PayPal. The film is a mix of color and black & white and I declare openly that I am not to be held liable in any way for its use or misuse and that I cannot guarantee results, success from your experimentations with said film.

For those doing the math, at an average of about $5/roll, you are saving $400 (ok, ok, it's not fresh film but whatever …)

Step on up if you are truly old skool and proud of it!

Yay, Vinay Found A Match

August 31, 2007 by Seshu | Editor & Publisher

I posted here not too long ago about my cousin Vinay and his battle with Leukemia and his subsequent search for a bone marrow match. Well, he found his match and is undergoing the transplant this week. Please pray for him.

Meanwhile, while Vinay found a match, there are tons of other people who are still looking for theirs. Please visit HelpVinay.org to learn more about how you can help.

The Great Picture Exhibition

August 31, 2007 by Seshu | Editor & Publisher

If you are in Los Angeles you gotta check out The Great Picture Exhibition

“In July of 2006, a group of photographers called the Legacy Project pulled off two truly staggering feats: converting an airplane hangar into the world's largest pinhole camera, and producing the world's largest black and white photograph, measuring a stunning 107 ½ x 31 ½ feet.”

Wowza! Goes to show you don't need more than a pinhole to create a great image. Now if only my subjects didn't move so much!

Learn more about The Legacy Project, that spearheaded this exhibit.

PhotoShelter is hosting Photography 2.0 a traveling town-hall meeting of photographers, photo editors and photo agency managers to talk about the future of digital photography.

The Stumping Grounds [link via APAD] will be a photo blog by six freelance photographers covering the 2008 US Presidential elections. This should be very interesting to check out so bookmark it folks

Recently I attended Zack Arias' One Light Workshop where he teaches people to use, you guessed it, one light on a subject for a portrait session. It was a terrific, exhausting day-long workshop but I would do it all over again. Zack is an incredible teacher and a patient one at that. He recently relaunched his website with a very cool forum, and they are both worth looking at on a daily basis. Go forth and light my friends!

CutfrrameTV – a group of some great videos YouTube-style about photographers, their lives, their art and business. Very cool. Brought to you by Dane Sanders.

Fun color games [yes, I am assured that this isn't a complete waste of time and you will learn a thing or two about color]

PhotoshopTV Archive. If you aren't a NAPP member, you will have to pay $1.99 per show. Even that is a cool deal.
