I’m looking into selling more of my prints online, via something like Smugmug.com. Has anyone had experience with their services? I’ve done quite a bit of research, and they seem to offer some of the best printing services in terms of quality and finish – something I prioritize highly. For about $100 a year, they allow unlimited uploads, the ability to set your own prices, as well as handling the orders, payment, and shipping of photos. Sounds pretty good toRead more

Random Thoughts
This post is going to be all over the place, as I’ve had enough caffeine to make a cappuccino nervous. As I was strolling through the insanity of one Jakarta’s mega-malls this afternoon, two completely different thoughts crossed my cortex. One – Being an expat (or tourist, traveller) staying in a country that speaks something other than your first language, you tend to have much more time to think while in public. Instead of picking up on the conversations ofRead more
Google Earth and Virgin Eyes
Don’t even bother to read this if you’re at work, if you’re getting ready for bed, or if you have a significant other waiting for you to join them. In fact, don’t bother reading this unless you have a solid 3 hours to remain here with your arse glued to the seat. Google Earth is the coolest thing since Flickr.

High in the Sky
Talk about a trippy trip. That had to have been quite honestly one of the oddest flights I’ve been on.

I’m sure it was simply the cooler air mixing with the sticky heat onboard. Normally, I would have dismissed this as nothing special (perhaps it wasn’t fog considering I ate the entire in-flight meal so vigorously).Read more
From Above
I went on the most fascinating bike ride yesterday. It’s so odd how you can live in a place for years and never venture into some of the hidden corners of your surroundings. I entered a gated complex and felt as if I’d been dropped through the rabbit hole. The extremes in poverty and wealth were astounding – not that I haven’t been surrounded by it for three years, but generally not in quite a concentrated area as this. GenerallyRead more
Utata.org
A wonderful group of artists have given rise to a group called Utata. It was recently a Yahoo! Pick of the Day. This collaboration is the result of Catherine Jamieson’s rampant creativity. She is one of the most well known photobloggers out there – and for good reason. I highly recommend you take a moment (or an hour) to browse through her efforts. Some of the ‘net’s most talented photographers have joined forces to display their work both on utata.orgRead more
