Ric Woods




The images of Ric Woods are by turns surreal, humorous, or dark, but they are all very engaging. My only complaint is the small size of the images. I want to see these bigger!

Photography

Although I'm in love with the thought of Daguerreotype photography, the actual execution looks far too labour intensive for the likes of me. However, if any of you are ambitious enough to give this a try, you'll be glad to read this very good step by step "how to" by photographer Johnathan Danforth

For those interested in the mechanics and technical details of glamour photography, professional photographer James DiGiorgio's "Pretty Girl Shooter" blog is an interesting read. He regularly posts his images along with detailed discussion on lighting, frustrations of being a self-employed photographer, dealing with models, etc.

Well, I'm back from a terrific summer vacation. The Oregon Coast was mindblowing and San Francisco was incredible. I especially loved the Chinatown district.

Now it's back to blogging, so let's start off with a Russian photographer who goes by the name Linear and who produces very nice portraits and figure photos.

VACATION!



Well everyone, I'm taking some time off for summer vacation. First we're off to relax on one of the beautiful islands off the coast of British Columbia for the long weekend, then we drive down the Oregon coast to San Francisco.

See you all back here sometime around Aug. 23rd or so!
