The Art of Copy Work: Photographing Artwork Accurately Without Glare
Today's guest post is part 2 of a series of tutorials on how to light reflective subjects and surfaces from BorrowLenses.com. Alex Huff is a staff photographer and copywriter for BorrowLenses and has photographed for Sotheby's, Google, X-Games, and more. In this post, she gives a few beginner's tips on avoiding glare and maintaining color fidelity when photographing artwork.
All example images were lit and shot using the following:
- Einstein 640W/s Flash
- X-Rite Classic Color Checker Card
- Nikon D800 Digital SLR Camera
- Nikon 24-70mm f/2.8G
- Canon 5D Mark III Digital SLR Camera
- Canon 24-70mm f/2.8L USM II
- Shoot-Through Umbrellas

When photographing reflective surfaces, lighting becomes a game of billiards. In my last post on photographing people in eyeglasses, we relied heavily on this following rule:
Angle of Incidence = Angle of Reflection
To review, the angle at which a light beam hits an object will reflect light out at that same angle. Ignoring exceptions involving certain textures and refraction, we can depend on light to travel in a straight and predictable line.
You may find yourself in a position of having to photograph something behind glass. The rules are largely the same as when you're photographing someone wearing glasses but you also need to be certain that the colors are being represented accurately as well.
Copy Work
Copy work, or a copy job, is when the photographer is reproducing a piece of artwork such as paintings, illustrations, and antique photographs. The conditions under which you have to shoot some of these things can be tough (stuck on walls in small rooms, leaning against something and under fluorescents, etc) but knowing the most basic copy work setup and remembering your family of angles will get you out of most glare binds.
Family of Angles
What the camera can see will determine our family of angles. In a typical copy work lighting setup, you will have 1 light on either side of your subject but the angle is very important.
Placing my light heads anywhere within that circle will likely result in glare because it is inside the danger zone of angle of reflectance. Our instinct is to put lights in front of the thing we want to light but when dealing with reflective surfaces we have to imagine a ball of light coming from the flash and into your painting in a straight line and bouncing back out again. If the bounce-back appears to be within the family of angles for what your camera is seeing then move those lights outside that zone or, in this case, more to the side. This allows the bounce-back to not glare back into the lens.
Lighting Outside the Family of Angles
When photographing artwork, placing your lights at acute angles in reference to the subject (90º or less – think of on-camera flash as being 0º) is generally bad and placing them at obtuse angles (greater than 90º) is generally good.
For this painting by Calixto Robles, I can already tell from my modeling lamps that I am probably within the family of angles to receive glare. Eyeballing it, I could tell that the light was going to shoot out of the glass and back into my lens — especially since I am also shooting directly instead of reflectively, like with a bounce umbrella.
An easy fix for this is to place my flashes outside the family of angles, more obtusely-angled in relation to my subject.
Placing my lights more to the side gets them outside my family of angles. Remember, too, that using a wide lens will increase the size of your family of angles. If you have the space to shoot copy work using a long lens, your choice of lighting positions increases.
These are all unedited so they would normally need a bit of tweaking but my glare is gone and that is a great starting point for perfecting the shot.
Raking the Light
This kind of obtusely-angled lighting is referred to as "raking the light." It's great not only for avoiding glare, since the angles are so extreme that they are often outside the family of angles for reflection, but also for showing texture.
In this detail shot of Vivien Sin's work, I have glare, washed out colors, and a little too much texture in places where I don't really want it.
These yellow arrows represent my family of angles. I have placed my flashes well within the danger zone.
Moving my lights more to the side, further away from my family of angles and at a more oblique angle, improves this. I probably could have raked the light even further by placing the lights nearly parallel to the painting, bathing it in light — especially if I were bouncing the light from inside an umbrella or softbox. Sometimes you might not have modifiers on-hand so knowing you can still work with "bald" lights is key.
Much better. However, how do you know these colors are even accurate? After all, I am showing you a copy of the painting through my photography and you are trusting me to portray it accurately. This requires another useful tool: the color checker.
Color Checker Cards and White Balance
White balance is largely not an issue in this age of RAW files. Most of the time, our cameras are excellent at reproducing color and predicting proper white balance. With artwork, though, such subjectivity can ruin your presentation. Using a color checker card will give you a set of specially prepared colors and grayscales that give you a frame of reference for objectively correct colors. It also helps you find a precise, neutral white. When you're editing something with a color checker in one of your frames, you can much more easily keep the colors in all of your frames consistent and accurate.
With all of the deep, rich colors in Vivien Sin's painting, I want to make sure they remain consistent across editing multiple files and also that I have a white balance that is set based on the most neutral target possible for color fidelity.
You can use a color checker card just as a reference and white balance corrector without any further calibration. However, its performance is maximized when you calibrate your monitor and printer and create custom profiles using free plug ins with your editing software.
To start, take a sample of a neutral color or shade. I used the gray square second to the left next to 100% white.
I have the X-Rite free ColorChecker Passport software installed in my Lightroom. You don't have to have this to get a read on color accuracy but it allows you to create custom profiles under different lighting conditions and quickly apply those profiles to images in an entire collection for consistency. This was done by taking a picture of the color card in the same environment as Vivien's painting, adjusting my white balance around a neutral gray on the card, and saving it as a profile (exactly how to do this varies with your editing software and X-Rite has instructions for each of them).
Instead of relying on one of my camera's profiles, or Adobe Standard, I can use a profile that is built around colors as they should be viewed objectively given the environment it was shot in, custom-named so that I can remember what I shot with to create it.
The difference might not be obvious but notice the reds in the lower corner. Adobe Standard rendered them slightly more orange than they should be. It's a subtle change for the extra work but if you remember to take just 1 shot with a color card it gives you the option to fine tune colors and white balance later. This is important for not only copy work but for real estate shooting as well, where interior paint colors might be very important to the person you are shooting for.
Copy Work Shooting Basics
If you are starting out with shooting anything reflective, especially artwork, remember:
- The Angle of Incidence = Angle of Reflection
- If the flash is within 90º of the reflective surface, it is likely to give off glare. Place your lights obtusely and sometimes even as far as parallel to either side of a painting.
- Raking the light in this manner will also show texture.
- Use a color checker card to verify color accuracy and white balance in post production.
Flash and Artwork Damage
The jury is still out on this but the general consensus is that a lot of stuff can affect paintings, including UV light, pollution, and temperature. Artwork can even be a danger to itself when off-gassing under tight framing. Art is exposed to flash for a short period of time during copy work and the consensus is that it's not a problem. That said, if you're shooting for a client, find out their comfort level for flash exposure before proceeding.
I hope these tips help you take better photographs of the various copy work items in your life, whether it's professional artwork or personal antique photographic keepsakes.
How to Stay In Business by Varina Patel
Landscape photographer and pro educator Varina Patel is one of those people we all aspire to be. From the mountains to the deserts, she travels around the globe chasing the light and enlightening photographers near and far. We've long been inspired by her incredibly varied and inspiring blog posts, eBooks and workshops, as well as her ability to keep her photo education company running smoothly and in sync with her husband, Jay Patel. We talked with Varina about how to keep your photo business blooming year after year. Here's what she suggests.
By Varina Patel
Take your business seriously.
Jay and I may be a husband and wife team – but we are running a business together. It's so easy to lose sight of the goal in the face of the day-to-day requirements of running a business… especially when you have lots of other responsibilities that require your attention. In order to keep things running smoothly, we have monthly meetings where we discuss our plans for the upcoming month. We decide which projects are worth extra time, and which ones need to be scaled back. We look at our sales and financial data and decide where we should focus our efforts. We make sure we are working towards the same goals – and that we are never working at cross-purposes.
Don't be afraid to change your plans.
Of course, having a solid business plan is important… but plans should be fluid. Don't be afraid to change your plans as your business opportunities shift. Jay and I are constantly re-establishing priorities as we navigate the ever-changing world of photography. Stock photography was a productive business for us at one time – but as the market became more and more saturated, we found that our efforts weren't paying off as well as they had been. So, we tested new waters. We taught workshops, wrote eBooks, photographed events, submitted images to magazines… and as our business grew, we found out where we could make the most of our limited time. Right now, our focus is on eBooks and short workshops – and as times change, we will continue to refine our goals and shift our plans to meet the ever-changing needs of our business.
Know your own strengths – and your weaknesses.
I can't emphasize this enough. It's important to know what you are good at – but knowing your weaknesses is equally important. Heck – maybe it's even more important. When you are aware of a weakness, you need to focus your attention on it. Nobody said running a business is easy. If you aren't good at handling your finances, do some research, take a class, or hire someone to do it for you. If you want to write eBooks but your grammar and spelling is terrible – hire an editor. Need a good website, but you don't know a thing about design or ecommerce? Call on the SmugMug Support Super Heroes. ;) Ignoring the problem isn't a solution… and it can cause all kinds of headaches in the future.
Use social media to build a relationship with your clients.
Social networks are incredible marketing tool that offer small businesses like ours an opportunity to be noticed among corporate giants with enormous budgets. We don't have to spend a dime to connect with millions of people who are interested in what we are offering. Our foray into social media began with our blog. I spent more than a year writing regular blog posts before people really started to pay attention. There were lots of times when I thought maybe my efforts were wasted, but I knew that quitting was the surest way to fail… so I kept plugging along. Over time, more and more people began to comment and subscribe. During that time, I started posting on Facebook too. Pretty soon, I had a pretty solid collection of "fans" who would leave comments and share my photographs. When Google+ came along, I didn't hesitate. This was a whole new experience. Suddenly, photographers were having in-depth discussions about everything from composition to marketing – and people were adding us to their circles at a fantastic rate. Best of all, we were really getting to know some of these people! They were becoming our friends. They were recommending our work to others, signing up for our workshops and webinars, and buying our eBooks! We met some of them in person, went shooting with them, and got to know them on a personal level. Those experiences took social networking beyond marketing. Now, we are a part of a dynamic community of photographers who exchange ideas and inspiration.
Look for ways to minimize content creation and maximize content consumption.
So yes. Social media is a great tool. But it can be your downfall, too. Don't let it consume you! The trick is to find ways to minimize the amount of time you spend creating content for social media – while maximizing the consumption of that content. What does that mean?
Well – we only have a limited amount of time to spend writing blog posts, updating our websites, posting on Twitter or Facebook or Google+. And yet – we want to be sure that the content we create is seen by as many people as possible, right? So, if I write one blog post, I want to make sure everyone knows it's out there. I need to get it to my followers on Facebook, my fans on Google+, my subscribers on Twitter – in short, I need to make sure it's as visible as possible.
Right now, we create almost all of our new content on my blog or on Google+. Content from the blog on my website is automatically syndicated to Jay's website and our other social media platforms. (Ideally, a single source of content would be preferable… but Google+ doesn't provide means for automatic syndication yet. In order to share with our very large audience on Google+, we need to manually share a link or copy and paste content to our streams.) Automatic syndication lets us send out our content to twitter, facebook, and our RSS subscribers without an additional effort on our part. So we create the content once, and everyone knows it's there. The process takes discipline and forethought – but you can make social networks work for you.
Know your target audience.
Take some time to decide who your customers are. Are you selling prints to art collectors? Writing eBooks for budding photographers? Teaching beginners to use their cameras? Look at your strengths, determine what you want to be doing – and then decide who you are targeting. Jay and I know that our primary audience is other photographers – people who want to learn how to use their camera. So, we target our posts to appeal to those people. We include brief tips in every blog posts. We speak in a variety of forums – sharing knowledge with large groups of people so they can get to know us and our teaching styles… and share our names with their friends. And we are always looking for ways to reach out to the photographic community – even this article is part of that effort.
Make sure you are valuable to your customers.
Maybe this is obvious, but it's absolutely critical. If you purchase one of my eBooks, I want you to come back and purchase another, right? And the only way you are going to do that is if you really feel that the eBook was valuable to you. So, we work hard to make sure that we pack those books full of information. We regularly go back and review older books to make them better, and we are constantly looking for more knowledge so we can share it with others. Workshops are no different. We want our students to go home feeling like they are better photographers than they were before they arrived… and more importantly, we want them to be confident in their ability to repeat the techniques we've taught. As nice as it is to come away from a workshop with some amazing photographs – what we really want to do is teach people to take amazing photographs when they are on their own and we're not around to help out. So, figure out what your customers want, and work to make sure that you are providing that. Doing so will translate to more clients, more sales, and more word-of-mouth advertising.
Act like a professional.
I think too many photographers forget how important it is to present themselves as professionals. I'm not talking about business suits and corporate accounts. It's really not that difficult. Start with a well-designed website that works well. Design a simple logo and print up some business cards. Respond to emails and queries in a professional manner – it's ok to be casual, but don't be sloppy or rude! And perhaps most importantly, present only your very best work! Don't just stick photos up there to fill gallery space. It's better to have a small collection of really great shots than a huge collection of mediocre ones.

For the Love of Photography: How to Organize a Photowalk by Scott Jarvie
If you love photography, going out to shoot something with a your friends is probably way up on your list. We're hard-pressed to find anyone who organizes these events better than Scott Jarvie, full-time destination wedding photographer and vagabond whose vibrant photos are matched only in brightness by his wit. He's a friend of ours, too, and he recently helped pilot a full-weekend long exposure photowalk right here in San Francisco. He's written up his personal insights into why joining photo walks is good for the photo-soul and how you can get the most out of planning one of your own.
By Scott Jarvie
Why Photowalks?
2008 was my first connection with other photographers and photowalks, and it marks a turning point in my photography. The small group of people I met on my very first photowalk are still good friends of mine, and knowing that other photographers were looking at my work actually made me step up my game. No longer was it just friends who thought every picture was a masterpiece… I actually had to start taking legitimately good pictures.
Utah has a consistent photowalking community, which was a great example to me of what a great community should be like. They connect on Twitter, Flickr and Facebook and then they become legitimate friends by meeting each other in person at the photowalk.
To this day, I see this same core group from 2008 meeting at SMUG meetings and still interacting with each other online or in-person: They have created studio co-ops, they've worked on paid projects together, they've referred businesses to each other, they've done photoshoots for each other. 4-5 years later and they still have a vibrant community with over 1000 people on their Facebook group.
I've met some of my very best friends because of photowalks. I've done weddings for a lot of people I've met at photowalks. I've seen casual goers to these photowalks become really good professional photographers.
Tips for Attending (or Planning) Your Next Photowalk
- Just go. You rarely – if ever – will regret going.
- Have a good attitude and don't have crazy expectations so you're not let down.
- Giving is more rewarding than taking: You'll get more from photowalks if you help organize or be leader of sorts, teach, or make the newbies feel welcome.
- The balancing of taking pictures with meeting people is an art and it takes a a little experience to find it.
- The people you'll meet are often more beneficial than the pictures you'll take.
- Edit your pictures fast because the buzz dies down quickly.
- Use a hashtag for your photowalk photos (#jarviewalk, #dv2011) when sharing on sites like Google Plus
- Comment on other people's pictures, too
- Stick around for the dinner and the mingling.
- Plan to have your picture taken by someone there. It's inevitable.
- Consistent, regular photowalks are key to creating a successful group.
- Don't try to do it all yourself, especially if you plan regular photowalks. Get other people to help organize.
- If it's a local group, try to create yearly traditions. (Christmas walk, Halloween walk, studio day, BBQ with no photography)
- Use social media. Get people that use social media to mention it.
- Have a place online to congregate and share pictures (Facebook group, G+ community, Flickr Group)
Questions to Consider
- Are you attending a Photowalk?
- Are you going to meet people and network?
- Do you already know these people and want to solidify friendships?
- Do you want to meet new people?
- Are you going to learn?
- Will there be a class before or after?
- Will there be photographers there that like to teach?

- Because you'll take any excuse to go take pictures?
- Are you going to meet people and network?
- Are you setting up a Photowalk?
- Because you want to create a community where you are?
- Because you want to network?
- Because a company will sponsor it?
- Because the location wants exposure?
- Because you have no idea why… it just sounds fun?
- Because it will help get your name out there?
- What style of Photowalk is it?
- Short walk (2-3 hrs)
- Short walk plus (walk plus either a lesson or food)
- Day Walk (All day, many locations)
- Multi Day Walk (Cover a big area over a course of a weekend)
- An adventure (A planned trip with friends)
- How can you ensure good attendance?
- What day is it?
- What time of the day is it?
- How far away from people is it?
- How much money will it cost people?
- Are there any giveaways?
- Does it seem organized?
- Is it an interesting location?
- Has the location been overdone?
- Is a photowalk long overdue?
- Is it a regular thing?
- How many other people are saying they're going?
- Are there any well known photographers going?
- How welcome do beginners feel?
- Is there a chance for people to learn?
- Is there food before or after?
- What's the weather like?
- How far in advance did you plan it?
- How well did you remind people?
- Where did you advertise it?
The Surge of Multi-Day Photowalks
Probably the most interesting thing I've seen in the last couple years is the growth of the multi-day photowalk. I've been to several including Utah, Yosemite, Death Valley and San Fransisco. It's at these photowalks that you seem to get the best of both worlds: to get great pictures and to meet new people.
At multi-day photowalks you can, in general, make much more solid friendship than what you can get in a single 2-3 hr interaction. Plus, with most of those multi-day photowalks you're hours from home, staying in hotels, eating out as a group and are less distracted with your day to day stuff.
There's also a lot more time which means you don't have to rush the taking pictures part or the creating friendships part. You'll be able to do both, even if there are 30-40 people there.
Come to #JarvieWalk in March 2013
I am doing the second year of the "#JarvieWalk which is a photowalk centered around the Festival of Colors in Utah, March 29-31st, 2013.
Last year, I had super great friends that came and it made the event even more fun. Plus, people came into town early and stayed late and we did other photography trips in addition to what was scheduled. I already have over 30+ people coming from all over the country for this year's #JarvieWalk, with hardly any advertisement. I call that a big success.
You are all welcome to come, if just to learn what a good multi-day photowalk is like. I'm not too humble to say that I did a dang good job last year and this time will be even better.
I've organized the event on Google Plus, so get details and RSVP right here.

The Changing Business of Wedding Photography: Are You Keeping Up?
Do you know Lee Morris, pro photographer, video producer and wicked-good educator? You should. He's an incredible, seasoned commercial, advertising, fashion and wedding photographer, plus he's co-founder of the refreshingly useful website Fstoppers.com. He's also a friend of ours who took a moment to reflect on the wedding business, why it's so hard, how it's changing and how pros like you can make the most of it by staying true to your heart.
by Lee Morris
Weddings, From Film to Digital
It's hard to imagine now, but just a few years ago wedding photographers burned every image into a single piece of film. If they didn't expose or focus the image correctly, the frame was ruined. If the film was processed incorrectly, scratched, or lost, the picture was gone forever. A single piece of film with a quality image on it was a very valuable thing and wedding photographers charged accordingly. It was common for wedding photographers to charge a single flat rate to show up to the wedding but then an additional fee for the number of images taken and processed. At the time it was very common for couples to pay their wedding photographers a few hundred dollars to take the pictures, but they would then spend thousands paying for prints and albums to be made after the event. Just a few years ago, a digital copy of a photograph, one that you could view on a computer was worthless to couples getting married. They wanted classic prints that they could hold in their hands, hang on the wall, and share with their friends, and they were willing to pay a premium for them. Times have changed.
As digital started to take over, wedding photographers were very slow to give away or even sell the files to their clients and rightfully so; for their entire careers, they made most of their money selling prints, not actually shooting. Many photographers that were unwilling to adapt their businesses actually went under because they thought they couldn't compete with the new "cheap" digital market. What many of these photographers failed to realize was that the money was still there, in fact, as wedding photography progressed, couples were actually willing to spend more; many of them simply weren't interested in paying for expensive prints in a digital world.
The Role of Sentimentality in Business
When it comes to managing a business as intimate as wedding photography it's easy to let your emotions take over. I try my best to approach my photography business as I would any other business. I need to manage my time, keep my current clients happy, consistently book new clients, and make money. So many photographers fail to meet at least one of these goals. Maybe you are really good at making your current clients happy but you work too much and you don't enjoy your job or have time to enjoy your life. Maybe you book a ton of work but you don't charge enough and you are constantly struggling financially. During the digital revolution many photographers that didn't change their pricing structure were incapable of making their current clients happy. Maybe their pictures were great but as digital started to take over, couples felt like they were getting nickeled and dimed after the event. If you can't make your current clients happy, you are going to struggle to find new clients.
When I started my business years ago I learned very early on that I hated making prints and albums. I could shoot a wedding in a few hours and make a few thousand dollars but it would take me a full day to retouch a few pictures, print them myself or take the files to a lab, package them up, take them to the post office and I would only make a few dollars profit. In many cases my clients would have to wait weeks to actually get their prints because I was out of the state shooting another job. I decided that I was going to start giving away the digital files with each of my weddings. Maybe I would lose a few dollars on the back end but I was also gaining a ton of free time and my clients were happier because they could print their pictures, how they wanted, when they wanted.
As a single guy in my twenties, money was important to me but free time was far more valuable. Once I had booked my 20 or 30 weddings for the year I knew I had plenty of income to support myself and I now had the security to start working on other things. With the extra time I had gained, I created the photography website Fstoppers.com. If I had focused on custom prints and albums like other photographers do I have no doubt I would have made a bit more money but Fstoppers has been far more rewarding. Creating videos for our website like Bon Jovi's photographer behind the scenes, or Peter Hurley's: The Art Behind The Headshot, or our newest video: How To Become A Wedding Photographer, has been the most exciting experiences of my life.
My point is that you may love your photography career (I sure do) but if you can give yourself some extra time, who knows what you will be able to create.
SmugMug = Time = Money
When I found SmugMug I realized that it filled 3 major needs in my business:
1. High resolution backups are included with the subscription.
2. It allowed me to promote my photography by giving guests and family members a place to go to see my work.
3. Bay Photo integration means I give my clients high quality prints without actually having to do any work.
By simplifying my business I was meeting all 4 goals above; I had more free time, my clients were happier, I was marketing to new potential clients, and I was making money from print sales each month.
It's easy to think that we know what's best for our clients. We may know that if they don't book an album now, they will probably never get one made. But the sad truth is that many of our clients would rather put their pictures on Facebook than deal with an album. It's important to remember that we are hired by these couples to do a service for them; if they don't want prints, we should figure out what they do want and charge them accordingly for that. If you've ever bought a car before you know how obnoxious it can be when the salesman tries to sell you on something you don't want. There are so many other ways to make money with wedding photography that may not involve incredibly expensive prints. I make far more money than I ever did selling prints selling engagment and bridal sessions, setting up a photobooth at receptions, selling video slideshows of the event, and offering a video service. Many photographers also don't know that SmugMug makes it incredibly easy to sell digital copies of files. If you don't want to give away your files like I do, you are able to set the size and price for each individual picture.
I want to make it clear that I love high quality prints and that many wedding photographers make a lot of money selling prints, even today. I love seeing my work printed huge, professionally framed, and hanging on a wall. My point is simply that times are changing and the current generation of brides probably do not want the same things that their mothers wanted. To stay ahead of the pack you need to deliver exactly what your clients are looking for, not what you think they will appreciate one day.
If I could sum up this article into a single point it would be this: Listen to your clients, and give them what they want. A happy bride will tell her friends how wonderful you are you will never have to worry about a shortage of work. In some cases, especially this one, it can make your life a whole lot simpler and you might even make more money.

Guest Blogger: Why Andy Marcus Loves SmugMug
Today's guest blogger is Andy Marcus of incredible, lick-the-screen-delicious Fred Marcus Photography in New York. He's been a Smugger since 2009 and we had the privilege of gabbing with him on the way to WPPI. Here's what he says about SmugMug and how his Pro account has given their world-class business an edge in the digital age.

Pro Features for Pro Photographers
We use SmugMug at Fred Marcus Photography because it's one of the easiest and most effective tools to market our business. We've been around for 70 years and have made a name for ourselves, but I find that our venues are constantly being bombarded by dozens of other photographers vying for recommendations and attention, too. How do we stand out and make our studio the one that the venues remember?
After each event we create a SmugMug gallery for the venue so they can share and use them for their own marketing purposes. SmugMug has made watermarking our images so easy: I can upload high resolution files and be confident that no matter where they end up, our studio name will be on them. I would normally never share files that could be printed to our clients, but with watermarking it's a win-win situation for both the vendor and our studio. They get great photos and we get the advertising.
Just the other day a popular wedding blogger got a link to our SmugMug site and shared more than a dozen of our images with her 2,000 followers. Within minutes of her publishing that story our website received dozens of hits from people curious about our work.
It has gotten to the point now where our vendors can't wait to log onto our SmugMug site and see images of their events. The cake designers want their cake photos, the lighting and staging companies want the images we shoot of the décor and ambience. The florists want shots of the floral décor and bouquets and the party planners, coordinators and caterers want shots of everything.
Luckily for me and my staff all the functionality SmugMug builds into their "Share" button makes their wait very short. I can send our vendors an email containing links with just a few clicks of a mouse. SmugMug also generates easy embed codes for all our images, so I can show them off on a blog or a forum with no hassle. Not to mention the ease at which I can connect to a number of social media sites like Twitter and Facebook.
I always like to be one step ahead of my competitors, and SmugMug helps me stay there.

Sox drop to 26 games below .500 for first time since 1980 with 6-1 loss

Updated: August 1, 2013 4:07PM
CLEVELAND – The deeper the White Sox tumble into abysmal territory – they fell 26 games below .500 for the first time since September 1980 with their seventh straight loss Thursday, a 6-1 dud to the Cleveland Indians – the more manager Robin Ventura's managerial skills will be questioned.
"It happens,'' Ventura said. "That's just part of being in this job and I think it's not easy. I'm the one in charge and you just have to take it.''
Third in American League Manager of the Year voting as a rookie in 2012, Ventura will not receive a vote in 2014. Were there such a thing as "worst manager of the year," he'd probably be in the mix because of the won-lost record, not for his performance, general manager Rick Hahn says.
Criticism "doesn't change my focus on what we are trying to do or win games or teach or anything like that,'' Ventura said. "It's just part of having the job.''
Hahn was noticeably annoyed Thursday morning when he went on the "McNeil and Spiegel Show" on 670-AM. When it suggested that it's time to point fingers at Ventura for the team's lack of sharpness, focus and cohesiveness, Hahn went on the defensive for his manager.
"You're free to point your fingers wherever you feel it's appropriate," he said.
The Sox (40-66), who were swept by the Indians in the four-game series to extend their losing streak to seven games, are on pace for 101 losses. They're moving there in ugly fashion, so the question posed to Hahn was not unfair. The latest example of lackluster play was a botched, six-throw rundown play Wednesday night that left Ventura looking at the dugout floor and chewing extra hard on sunflower seeds. Third baseman Conor Gillaspie's throwing error Thursday was the team's 76th, which is 30 more than their opponents have made.
Sox baserunning has also been embarrassing at times, like the defense a dramatic reversal from last season. Hahn said it might have been unfair to give Ventura too much credit last year so it's equally unfair to blame him for what's going on now.
"At the end of the day, for me, and as we look at our staff, we look at the amount of effort, communication and what they're doing behind the scenes,'' Hahn said. "It isn't always available to the media, to the fans, which is unfortunate because they don't see the anger, they don't see the high energy, they don't see the confrontations and communication with the players. And I think to Robin and his staff's credit, that stays behind closed doors, where the players and the staff would prefer that to take place."
Hahn said he'd make changes if he saw a lack of effort.
"At this time, we don't feel changes are merited in the near future,'' he said.
Said Ventura: "We are continuing to work at it. You are trying to be positive and that's probably the hardest part right now.''
The Sox were never really in Thursday's game, even with ace Chris Sale on the mound. The surging Indians, who have won eight straight, have won 11 of 13 from the Sox with a pair of four-game sweeps for the first time in franchise history. The last time the Indians swept a team twice in four-game series was in 1960 against the Kansas City Athletics.
"It's annoying, frustrating, whatever you want to call it,'' second baseman Gordon Beckham said. "Yeah, and then some great players get taken away from you in the last week [Jake Peavy, Jesse Crain in trades] but if you don't play well that's what happens.''

The Abano Astoria Hotel and SPA – Quality Hotel from 2000 – in the heart of the Abano Terme and directly in the vicinity of magnificent cities like Venice and Padova is the perfect place to indulge oneself in peaceful and harmonious surroundings. It is simply an escape, far away from everyday routine. Relax and find your inner balance so that, whatever you touch, touches you in return.

I love the script for "The Stork Job." It's a big emotional episode for Beth [Riesgraf], but there's really cool stuff for all of us to do. Comedy, big action sequences, car chases, and a massive explosion. The explosion was set up at the San Pedro docks. I was hanging out in Tim [Hutton]'s trailer when someone came over and said. 'They're about to set off the explosion. Do you want to go watch?' Tim had to talk me into it. We got there just in time to slip into the video tent and slide in beside the director. The explosion was huge with all the stunt guys in the foreground wearing protective grease in their hair and on their clothes. I felt the scorching heat from 100 feet away. It was completely electrifying.
The studio is set up to be a fake film set, which is good news for the crew. Although there's a lot of added set dressing — including snowy woods and extras wearing strange Bavarian costumes — no one has to disguise all the equipment and cables and mess. No one has to move a trash can out of shot or a canvas chair or even a discarded donut.
(Speaking of donuts, Christian [Kane], Beth, Aldis [Hodge] and I have been having serious negotiations around the craft service table. We've declared Krispy Kreme Wednesdays, Apple Fritter Fridays, Take-a-Break Tuesdays and Do What You Like Mondays and Thursdays.)
One of our producers, Mark Roskin, is directing this episode. It's his debut as a director and everyone's very excited. We've all known Mark since we shot the pilot episode last year in Chicago and there is a great atmosphere on set. I have a really lovely scene where I have to convince Tim's character, Nate, to let me appear in the movie that we've taken over. Sophie has to dress up as nun and perform a scene "well." I'm wondering if I'm setting myself up? What if I perform badly when she's supposed to perform well?
It's Saturday night, and Tim's hosting a poker night at his house in Laurel Canyon. Though I don't know how to play poker, I go along to catch up with Saul Rubinek, who played the bad guy in the pilot. It's great to see Saul again. Even though it's been a year since we worked together and the rest of us are several episodes into Season 1, Saul is so much a part of this experience and will always be an integral player in Team Leverage. Several of the crew and the guys in the cast are getting their poker faces on. My only contribution is a cool trick that Christian taught me, shuffling poker chips between my forefinger and thumb.
Beth's sisters are visiting from Minnesota. They come to the set and meet everyone and we hang out and have our photos taken with them. It makes me homesick to see how happy Beth is to see them. I suddenly yearn to see my friends and family back home.
TNT's Leverage airs Tuesdays at 10 pm/ET.

The Ricochet Podcast
Episode 148: Figgy Pudding
This week we take on guns, super heroes, the meaning of Christmas, the people who ring the bells, and parse that darned figgy pudding song. And yes, of course we give an update on the state of Ricochet. It's the last Ricochet Podcast of 2012 (but not the last ever, we promise). Thanks for another great year, folks. We'll see you on January 4th. Merry Christmas, everyone!
Music from this week's episode:
- We Wish You A Merry Christmas by Weezer
The Ricochet Podcast opening theme was composed and produced by James Lileks.

I think this is a great idea.
Trace: The high profile names are great of course, but you guys should always bring on a random contributor in addition to an A-lister so that we can get to know these people better… I for one would like to know Pejman's story…Also, you should solicit interest from R-congressman. Send a letter introducing Ricochet, explaining the traffic and invite them to come on. If you guys write the letter, I bet you could crowd-source the names of their press people with email addresses by appealing to members. Too time consuming for an editor? Let the membership do it. · 27 minutes ago
In terms of politicians, the problem is that most of them tend to make lousy guests, as they give mostly canned or very safe answers. And they are notoriously difficult to book as their schedule is always changing. But yes, we will endeavor to have more of them on.

[411] EUS-FNA in the Diagnosis of Pancreatic and Peri-Pancreatic Lymphoma
Amberly Nunez, Faisal Mukhtar, Isam-Eldin Eltoum. University of Alabama at Birmingham; University of Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh, PA
Background: Pancreatic and peri-pancreatic lymphomas are rare tumors that may present clinically as pancreatic adenocarcinomas do. Endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration (EUS-FNA) has recently played an increasing role in the diagnosis of non-Hodgkin lymphoma, especially when combined with ancillary studies including flow cytometry and immunohistochemistry (IHC). However, the utility of EUS-FNA in the diagnosis of pancreatic lymphoma has rarely been reported.
Design: A retrospective search was conducted at our institution on all pancreatic and peri-pancreatic EUS-FNA specimens from January, 2000 - December, 2010. Out of 2,397 pancreatic EUS-FNA specimens identified, 27 were aspirates of a lymphoproliferative process including lymphoma and atypical lymphoid population. Pap stains, Diff-Quik stains, cell block, and IHC stains, where available, were evaluated. All available histology specimens and flow cytometry data were also evaluated.
Results: During the study period, 27 aspirates from 24 patients received diagnoses of lymphoma (25) or an atypical lymphoid population (2). Twenty-five lymphoma aspirates from 22 patients, including 11 men and 11 women, aged 33-85 (mean age of 63.2 years), were evaluated. Aspirates were derived from the pancreas in 12 patients (55%) and from a peri-pancreatic lymph node or mass in 10 patients (45%). Fifteen patients (68%) presented with a primary pancreatic lymphoma while 7 patients (32%) had secondary extension from a non-pancreatic primary.

A breast self-exam is a check-up a woman does at home to look for changes or problems in the breast tissue. Many women feel that doing this is important to their health.
However, experts do not agree about the benefits of breast self-exams in finding breast cancer or saving lives. Talk to your health care provider about whether breast self-exams are right for you.
Self-examination of the breast; BSE
The best time to do a self-breast exam is about 3 - 5 days after your period starts. Your breasts are not as tender or lumpy at this time in your monthly cycle.
If you have gone through menopause, do your exam on the same day every month.
Begin by lying on your back. It is easier to examine all breast tissue if you are lying down.
Next, stand in front of a mirror with your arms by your side.
Do the same with your arms raised above your head.
Most women have some lumps. Your goal is to find anything new or different. If you do, call your health care provider right away.

ATLANTA (May 8, 2006)--David Bader, associate professor within the College's Computational Science and Engingeering (CSE) division, along with Ph.D. students Kamesh Madduri and Vaddadi Chandu, have three papers accepted at this year's 35th International Conference on Parallel Processing (ICPP). ICPP is the longest-running conference dedicated to parallel processing with a significant impact within the field, and will be hosted by Ohio State University on August 14-18, 2006. The papers include:
"Designing Multithreaded Algorithms for Breadth-First Search and st-connectivity on the Cray MTA-2," D.A. Bader and K. Madduri
"Parallel Algorithms for Evaluating Centrality Indices in Real-world Networks," D.A. Bader and K. Madduri.
"ExactMP: An Efficient Parallel Exact Solver for Phylogenetic Tree Reconstruction Using Maximum Parsimony," D.A. Bader, V. Chandu, and M. Yan
The ExactMP paper by Bader, Chandu, and Yan, designs and implements an exact solver for the problem of maximum parsimony in computing evolutionary histories and important computational biology application. ExactMP can solve moderate sized instances exactly using combinatorial optimization techniques on symmetric multiprocessor and multicore systems with large main memories. This implementation is the first parallel solver for this problem and outperforms the widely-used commercial solver. The other two papers by Bader and Madduri design and implement parallel algorithms for large-scale graph theoretic problems. For instance, the two researchers identify key vertices using the betweenness centrality metric on real-world graphs, from small-world networks, patent databases, and citation networks. The results include the first parallel algorithms designed for several important metrics.

PR fails in 2013:
Burger King had to go into damage control mode when one of its employees sent out a tweet showcasing his feet in tubs of lettuce. To make matters worse for the company, the tweet was captioned "This is the lettuce you eat at Burger King." For a any company, such an awful tweet can be felt for years. For a restaurant, the damage may be irreparable. And if you thought things could not get more disgusting in the world of food, you were wrong. A Taco Bell employee posted a tweet that showed him urinating on a plate of tacos. Even though he assured those who had seen it that the plate would be thrown out, management had not choice but to immediately – and publicly – fire him.
An NRA employee, just hours after the Aurora, CO shooting tweeted, "Good morning, shooters! Happy Friday! Weekend plans?" They were quickly forced to delete the tweet, and later a NRA spokesperson also apologized officially. He said that the individual who sent out this tweet had not known of the events that had unfolded the previous evening.
Before producing their own maps, Apple maps borrowed from Google. This strategy had proven frustrating for some Apple users, and they were relieved when Apple released their own maps. But, to their dismay, the new map app turned out to be a huge failure. It had so many errors that the manager of this application was fired just months after its release. Desperate times call for desperate measures, and after issuing a public apology, Apple's CEO encouraged iPhone users to use competitors maps.
Media Relations wins in 2013:
Coke knows how to get attention, and in a 2013 campaign, they did just that. They made seemingly run-off-the-mill, yet highly attractive people, overcome a huge number of obstacles just to reach the premiere of the new James Bond movie, Skyfall, first.
To help promote the newest Muppet movie, cupcakes featuring the faces of the main characters were sent to those who were tweeting the most about the movie. This was a cute, and thoughtful way of appreciating the tweets and attention from fans online. This was cutest PR bid of the year.
In an anti-smoking advertisement, children asked older people around them to light their cigarettes. This ad used real people, and hidden cameras to capture the true emotions evoked by such a controversial act. It has been reported that this advertisement did force many people to take a step back, and rethink their smoking habit.

Farm Sanctuary's Farm Animal Adoption Network
Farm Sanctuary operates the country's largest farm animal rescue and adoption network. Every year, we assist with urgent placement needs — particularly in cruelty cases involving large numbers of animals. When our shelters are full, we depend on compassionate people who want to make a direct difference for a suffering cow, pig, chicken or other farm animal. Since 1986, nearly 3,000 needy farm animals have been given a new beginning — thanks to people who care enough to join our Farm Animal Adoption Network (FAAN).

Ecology is the science of the interrelations between living organisms and their environments. These interrelations are complex, varied, and hierarchical. As such, it is a broad and diverse discipline that covers topics from natural selection to population dynamics to biogeochemistry to ecosystem health and sustainability. Our aim in this compendium is to aggregate, in one major reference work, a thorough overview that does justice to this diversity and, at the same time, makes connections between the topics. The result is the five-volume work before you, containing over 530 expertly authored entries. The entries together form a comprehensive picture of the science of ecology and its major subdisciplines.
Individually, the entries are succinct, informative, state-of-the-art reviews for use as research references or teaching aids. The Encyclopedia of Ecology covers many facets of this wide-ranging and far-reaching field including:
The encyclopedia is based on a broad and inclusive view of ecology with an emphasis on holistic perspectives. Holism arises because organisms are irreducible from each other and their environments. Therefore, tone and tendency in ecology is toward the holistic range along the continuum of holism–reductionism in science.

Wednesday Addams Meets Pollyanna in Mystery Series
A review by P.E. Logan
Read more about GalleyCat Reviews
I have never considered myself much of a mystery fan. Growing up, I watched my middle sister Virginia devour volumes of Nancy Drew and Ian Fleming's entire oeuvre of James Bond adventures. I preferred disaster tomes like Walter Lords' A Night to Remember about the Titanic, and I was smitten with a history of the circus that listed all the oddities P.T. Barnum brought to the spotlight — Jenny Lind, Tom Thumb and Eng and Chang the conjoined brothers. I was the lone teen reader among my peers of Nicholas and Alexandra and The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich. No wonder I didn't date.
As an adult I didn't catch the spark for the 'who-done-its' that perpetually eat up prime real estate on best-seller fiction lists. But Alan Bradley has changed that with his terrific Flavia de Luce Mystery series. If there is a softer side to murder, this is it. And it's a lot of fun for the reader.
In 2009 he introduced Miss de Luce, an 11-year-old girl sleuth who draws trouble to her like metal filings to a magnet. She is the gas for the engine in his charming series that began with The Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie and continues in The Weed That Strings the Hangman's Bag.

Walther Handguns Reviews: Walther PPS
We love Walther Handguns, and this review about the Walther PPS handgun makes me feel like I should get one. It's a real compact pistol and I'm sure it will do the job right if needed. I love gun reviews, and this one in particular makes me want to have one even if that particular pistol is a bit heavy and more expensive than the competition.....it's a Walther!

Nice Walther P99 Handgun Review
One of the greatest modern handgun today is the Walther P99 Pistol, and this great video review will show you some great footage about this fabulous work of gun art.
The Walther P99 is the weapon of choice of the Montreal Police Department, and was James Bond's gun in The World Is Not Enough, Die Another Day, and Casino Royale.
