A Short Submission by Kelly Smith It was around noon when I started to catch the smell of something rancid on the air. Something told me to leave it alone, but that digging curiosity got the better of me, as it always does. You see, I had been sick and laid up for far too long. My body was screaming at me to move, somewhere.. Anywhere. So, I decided to take a walk. A walk that would land me smack...

She and I have maintained loose contact since she was in my university lab class, but I haven’t seen her in years, and hadn’t had a letter or email from her in months. Then today she sent me the...

Genius from Kyle Cassidy: Depth of Field
In the Bag of Photographers tricks there are about ten easy technical techniques that make people think your photos are better than most other people’s. One of these, and it’s a big one is depth of field. Depth of Field (or DOF if you’re writing it) refers to the area that’s in focus in any given photo. DOF can either be “deep” or “shallow”. A...

By Lily in response to an audience member falling in front of the stage before With the Needle That Sings in Her Heart
She wasn’t supposed to trip. She was allowed to enjoy herself, but not to trip. She had ruined the careful preparation in the days leading up to the event, and all the schemes we had waiting in the shadows had been effectively crippled.
And worse; another Amanda had seen her....

Killing Amanda Palmer With a Bounce Flash
text and photos by Kyle Cassidy
Having a flash lets you bring light into places where there isn’t any light. It’s often the first step in advancing your photography beyond passive reaction to a scene but a flash misused is often worse than no flash at all. This is because in order to keep cameras small and practical, the flash is mounted very near the lens of the camera which leads to...

“Dreams” by Musings in response to this photo by Nicholas Vargelis
These days, my dreams invade my head so much that sometimes I don’t know when I’m awake and when I’m sleeping. My days and nights go like this: Dream. Wake. Dream. Sitting on a bus. Dream. Stare at pricing spreadsheet. Dream. “Oh hi, boss.” Dream. Eat. Dream. Go down to the warehouse to check on supplies, talk to...
