As a documentary wedding photographer, I custom-design albums for each of my clients. That's right. Every single album design is unique. No two clients will ever receive the same album design layout. Why? Simple. Each client is unique.

But this post is about a terrific set of Photoshop actions that photographer Andrew Funderburg has created called – Fundy's Solution On Steroids.

Andrew and I struck up a conversation and he has generously agreed to provide Tiffinbox readers a whopping 25% discount for the next two weeks when you use the following discount code: September08.

Check out the video tutorials that will help you set up the program. Dig deeper and you will find that Andrew also offers an Album Proofing program that will allow your clients to check out your awesome and, yes, unique album designs on their monitor and allow them to comment on the images and layout, giving you a faster turnaround on the album making process and more cash in your pocket.

For me, using Fundy's actions is a no-brainer. Click the banner below or the links above to buy Fundy's Solution on Steroids. Remember, you are getting an awesome set of actions at 25% till the end of September.

Aaron Johnson is the brains behind “What the Duck,” the funniest comic strip I have come across in a very long time. It's photo-centric, which makes it all the more funny for me [because I do like to laugh at myself sometimes].

Using a duck as his protagonist, Johnson goes about illustrating some very poignant moments that photographers experience, especially with their clients. Some photogs may not find it humorous as the punch lines can be acerbic like this one:

I am huge fan of the Canadian blog Drawn dedicated to illustration, art, cartooning and drawing. Here is a link to the contributors to that group blog. Please bookmark the site and visit often!

“I have done my best to honor Hindu mythology with both a sense of charm and originality. My aim was to simplifiy Hindu imagery to make it more accessible for young children and their parents.”

With a kid on the way, my wife and I are going to definitely order Sanjay Patel‘s book – Little India. Sanjay works at Pixar [me turning green right about now] as an animator and a storyboard artist. Order your copy of Little India or 11×17 prints by clicking here.

I met Sonia, an artist, at a Srishti sponsored workshop called Sunoh. She is now marrying Sunoj. I love the invitation card for its simplicity and humor. I am quite sure Sonia and Sunoj had hand in designing this card. I blurred out the location so ya'll don't gate crash. To the couple – congratulations!
