Picture Palaces

iTunes' party shuffle is playing: Sky and Sea - Cassandra Wilson - Traveling Miles

The wife has a friend who's pretty nifty with the camera. That is, she composes pictures well. A good photoblog is like a good blog. The content should evoke emotion. Make you yearn for something more. Her pictures do that. Check back regularly, cos I'm gonna keep bugging her to put up her pittures. Another good photoblog recently begun is Cour Marly's photoblog, and another of my favourites is Kissui.net. Sinophiles like me can look to Leylop and her wonderful photojournal and blog. She's left Hangzhou and is about to embark on an extensive trip, so check back and check out her fantastic photos. There are so many things, so little time to document them. I encourage everyone with a digital camera to carry it along with you everywhere you go. Snap away at anything grand or ordinary. Make your blog your window on the world and let the rest of us enjoy. While on this topic, if you prefer your digital pictures to be paperised, look no further than Hotprint. They're very good at printing digital photos, and I know for a fact that they're the bestest photoshop exponents in the land. You should see my driver's licence photo. Slimmer and not a zit in sight.
