Next Photo Project - Poland

Pictures I took when we visited Poland in 2002 are consistently among the most viewed over on my Flickr Photostream.

However, what's there now are just a few rudimentary scans.

So, for my next photo project, I'll tackle the full set of pictures from that trip - which also included a great stay in Prague.

We took that trip back in the ancient old days before digital SLR cameras - at least ones that regular people could afford - so there'll be a lot of high resolution scanning going on.

I'll post a note when the pictures are up and live.

Educational Publisher to Use One of My Pictures

The Educational Publishing Division of Times Publishing (Hong Kong) Ltd. will use my picture of the polluted Shanghai skyline in a new set of educational books and web sites to be published early next year.

Here's the picture they'll use:

African Animals Are On the Way

I've been using a digital SLR camera for the past couple years (Nikon D70), and I am a convert to the quality and ease of use of digital pictures. I have posted many of these pictures here on the blog and, more so, on my Flickr photostream - located here.

However, prior to 2006 I used my Nikon film SLR camera, leaving me with great prints but no quality digital versions. This has meant no easy way to share, publish or even create photo books or big prints from our trips to places like India, Spain, Africa, Italy, Germany, the Netherlands and other lands.

Until now that is.

This past weekend, for my birthday, my wife bought me a high resolutions scanner capable of scanning photo negatives.

So, I'm now in the process scanning in my negatives to share them and create some new prints. First up, our trip to Africa. Should be fun.

I'll try and have more up on the Photostream before the holiday break at the end of this month.

Pictures of Southeast Asia Now On My Flickr Photostream

I have added pictures from our 2006 trip to Southeast Asia to my Flickr Photostream.

In particular...

Pictures of Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam here.

Pictures of the region of Cambodia near Angkor Wat here. 

Enjoy.

I'll have more pictures from this trip to post over the next few weeks. And, if I can find the time, perhaps some thoughts on what we saw.
