But is it Garawood, or Zebramond?


Not terribly hot off the presses (April), but this is a funny entry on an interesting blog I just found from a type designer/manager at Adobe... Typblography.

"Garamond and Zebrawood walk into a bar, they have a few drinks and one thing leads to another… (yes they were hanging out at the same bar, believe it or not)."

"Create from scratch, the typographic love child of:
Garamond and Zebrawood"

See what Christian Robertson and other type designers came up with, on Typophile.

My portrait photography sucks…

…by which I mean, “The portraits I shoot suck,” vs. “Portraits of me suck.” Well, the second part is up for debate.

Hot on the heels of the July 4th tips for taking better fireworks photos, here are some portrait-taking tips from digital Photography School: 10 Ways to Take Stunning Portraits.

Now, I wonder if I can use these tips to take better portraits of myself?

My fireworks photos suck

Have you ever tried to take pictures of fireworks? I’ve been trying for years. Years! I haven’t had a successful photo yet.

Well, this Fourth of July everything’s going to change. My fireworks photos are going to be awesome! Why? Because of this fine article from Lifehacker: “Get Better Fireworks Photos This Fourth of July.”

This is going to be the best fireworks holiday ever. Ever!
