Photo Editing Tips for Beginners: Food Edition
I'm not a photographer. However, I do admire photography and I try to improve my photo skills, even if I'm only using the camera on my phone. I'm also a long-time baker and foodie, but I only recently started sharing my baking experiments with other people through social media, especially on Instagram. I quickly realized that the first challenge to post baking photos is making the food look attractive enough to grab people's attention. This involves taking decent pictures and doing some editing work to make sure that they look (a bit) more professional.

Moving the Stillness
In the natural world, everything moves, right down to the atomic level. Plants grow, the planet turns, tides rise and fall with the rise and fall of the sun and the moon, insects crawl, birds fly, light changes. Nothing stays still in it's entirety.

Insights on Edits
I took this picture about a year ago. Since it depicts a quite important scene, I thought it deserved a special title. In fact, it can be hung in two opposite directions and has been signed both ways since displays may be alternated. The title on the upside is "The Last Supper", and when inverted the title shall be read as "Ask a Memphis".

Turning Pixels to Paint
My wife and I had the amazing opportunity a couple of years ago to relocate our family from the snowy Rocky Mountains to our current island home in Hawaii. While it was a challenging move, seeing our children experience life outdoors year-round outweighs any of the financial or material comforts we left behind.

We’ll fix it in the mix
“We’ll fix it in the mix.” It’s a phrase used in the world of music recording as the last resort. Producers and Engineers might be able to pull a rather underwhelming performance out of the fire with a lot of editing, but often the performance gets scrapped. That’s because it’s nearly impossible to turn a mediocre sound into something amazing. Same is true with photography. You can edit all you want, but you can’t make a bad pic great. Different? Yes. Acceptable? Maybe. Interesting? Sure. But great? No.

Can you spot the difference?
In the early stages before the worldwide pandemic hit, I was wondering how I was going to be able to keep myself busy knowing there was really nothing I could do outside of my home with all shops, museums and my favorite restaurants going out of business and shutting down.

Street Photography
There is nothing more exhilarating for me than exploring city streets with my cameras. Street photography has been my bliss for nearly ten years. One of the best things I’ve learned over the years photographing on city streets is that being inconspicuous is a great way to capture a good shot. I usually achieve this by using my smartphones. With smartphones small size and the assumption that most people that are using them are tourist taking snaps, it has become much easier to photograph candid, honest moments on public streets.
