Being a stealth photographer...
“Do you see possible awesome photograph options while you’re out and about but don’t have the nerve to shoot them? Do you ever wish that you had more camera courage whilst out in public? Recently one reader asked how I shoot the things I do without getting funny looks. She wanted to know what my “secret to avoiding the silly is”.
Often times I have missed great photo opportunities because I’ve...

Life Is Too Short To Waste Time Hating People
Never be awful to anyone, that person you were awful to may teach you the most.
Always remember… you are a somebody, God didn’t take the time to create a nobody.
Always smile, you never know whose day you might be making.
Never “forget” to say hi to anyone, never miss the chance to laugh or smile, never get too caught up in yourself that you forget to help others.

Five Simple Rules To Be Happy
One day a farmer’s donkey fell down into a well . The animal cried piteously for hours as the farmer tried to figure out what to do. Finally, he decided the animal was old, and the well needed to be covered up anyway; it just wasn’t worth it to retrieve the donkey. He invited all his neighbors to come over and help him. They all grabbed a shovel and began to shovel dirt into the...

Over the years as a graphic designer I’ve accumulated a wealth of custom brushes, shapes and actions that I keep carefully organized and labeled for future use. The brush set I’ll be sharing with you today has been in my collection for probably five of six years and every once in a while I’ll find a good reason to load it into my brushes palette. If you’ve never done that before, don’t worry,...

Note webkit based browsers and Firefox have very different syntax for gradients.

I’ve converted, but my first experience with Google Chrome occurred about a year ago and it was not a positive one. It was disappointing and frustrating. However, after fighting with Firefox, which crashed many times daily and demanded updates that slowed browsing and constantly interrupted me, I gave Chrome a second chance.
My biggest concern was the lack of extensions (”plugins” for Firefox...

At the beginning of a web (or application) development project I always create the sketches first. While sketching can be done on a blank paper, it’s much better to use a sketch template. For me that is the best and most productive way to work on and improve my ideas before application development begins (and things get more complicated :-)). This way I won’t pay too much attention to some details...

Photoshop Technique: Faking Depth Of Field + Free... →
Here’s a quick technique that I use to fake depth of field in Photoshop and add realism to my images. I’ve seen this technique mentioned in various tutorials I’ve read, so it’s really nothing new. But it’s a good trick that I feel you should know.
Create a new Channel
With that Channel selected, add a reflected gradient at about 80 degrees. Black in the center and white around the edges.

Photoshop Depth Of Field Effect Tutorial →
In this Adobe Photoshop tutorial, we’re going to look at an easy way to adjust the depth of field in a photo, keeping only a small portion of the image in focus while taking the rest of it out of focus. This is a great way to bring attention to a specific part of an image (someone’s face, for example), and the effect is similar to how things would look if we had shot the photo with a...
