NAIAS 2009 Photo Contest Winners

Congratulations to the winners! It was fun to participate and get early access to the show. I may make that a yearly appointment.

I have a bunch of stuff to post, but time is missing. In the meantime, here is something interesting on the net: some of the best news photographs from 2008.

You may want to skip the black ones with warnings for graphic content. Otherwise, there are several awesome inspiring pictures in the lot!

Here are the links

Sorry about the 1 month period without updates. I have been travelling quite a bit for work in the last few weeks. I have material almost ready to post, so be sure to come back before the end of the month.

Meanwhile, I am starting a new category of posts for internet sites that I find interesting. The first mention goes to Photofunia.com. The site offers about 60 effects that you can apply to a portrait of your choice. Some of the effects are quite interesting as seen below.

The 2 step process is extremely simple: 1- Select the effect; 2- upload one of your picture. The image must be less than 500kb in size. The resulting image is provided very quickly. Here is the link below for you to try!
