A Photo Spins Out of Control

Emory points to a story about a pretty girl and what
happens when her photo gets on the Internet. An
accomplished athlete, Allison Stokke had won a 2004
California state pole vaulting title, broken five
national records and earned a scholarship to the
University of California, but it was a photo of her
adjusting her hair that brought celebrity knocking on
her door. Maria Sharapova and Anna Kournikova became
sex symbols via tennis, so why not a poll vaulting
princess? Maybe because she doesn't want it? But in
the day of the Internet, does she have any choice?

Jeff's Baltimore Inner Harbor Photos

Jeff was making good use of his Canon PowerShot SD800
IS Digital ELPH on an outing to Baltimore's Inner
Harbor. Then Linda and Tom take a shot at correcting
the lens distortion, demonstrating that you don't
need a view camera with swings and tilts to shoot
architecture these days. Linda worked in Photoshop
while Tom made good use of Picture Window
Professional. Check out the photos!
Leonard Nimoy's "Robust" Nudes

When Leonard Nimoy photographs obese women, it looks
like an attempt to draw attention to his photography
by focusing on the bizarre, but would anyone pay
attention to any of his photos had he not
played Mr. Spock on Star Trek? Some say no. What do you think?

Lisa asked us to take a look at a collection of her
photos and provide some feedback. Getting started in
photography is always a challenge, but without useful
feedback, it's all but impossible. Take a look at Lisa's gallery (via a
link in the first message), and then share your
thoughts with her!
Nikon's NX and Photoshop? Isn't this inefficient?

Ron Wrucke likes NX and is used to the interface, but
he's finding it cumbersome to move from that software
into Photoshop for additional image work. Is he missing something?
