text: Companies selected today for initial build-out of the North Carolina Research and Education Network HICKORY, N.C., Oct. 8 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- MCNC announced today that three companies have been selected to share an estimated $20 million for construction related to the fiber-optic expansion of the North Carolina Research and Education Network (NCREN) in southeastern and western North Carolina. A fourth company was chosen for an additional $1.8 million contract for the optical design portion of the project. North Carolina Governor Bev Perdue joined other state and federal officials at CommScope in Hickory for a groundbreaking ceremony that highlighted the kick-off of MCNC's initial phase of expanding NCREN. This project will create jobs in these regions and bring critical broadband infrastructure to 37 counties in the state. "We are embarking on a public-private partnership that will literally change the way North Carolina communicates with the rest of the world," Gov. Perdue said. "From the mountains to the coast, broadband access is a difference-maker for rural North Carolina. And, it's a great example of how our state is leading America's recovery." MCNC sought proposals from qualified contractors in August to construct a new fiber-cable network to connect community anchor institutions (universities, community colleges, schools, libraries, county offices and more) to a statewide fiber-optic network. For segments in the west, a contract was awarded to Fiber Technologies, Inc., a Quanta Services company (NYSE: PWR). Under the agreement, Fiber Technologies will install approximately 200 miles of fiber in the west that includes segments from Hickory to Lenoir, Asheville to Old Fort, Enka to Sylva, and Hendersonville to Huntersville. Globe Communications was chosen for segments in the east that includes about 220 miles starting in Rocky Mount and running through Greenville, New Bern, Morehead City, and Jacksonville before ending in Wilmington. Comtech was selected for all fiber splicing related to this portion of the project, and Cisco Systems has been chosen for the optical design portion of the project.

National doll produced to represent a Spanish woman. It was purchased for Monica Gates by a friend in 1968. The doll is dressed in clothing popularised in the Andalusian region of Spain. Situated in the southernmost region, the folk dress of Andalusian now represents Spain itself. Women wear ruffled skirts and Manila shawls with colourful embroidery.
The Gates collection contains 170 national dolls from 74 different countries and some correspondence relating to the acquisition of several of the dolls. The costumes of the dolls represent national costumes from the 19th Century to the 1990s. Monica Gates collected or was given these dolls between 1957 and 1990.
These dolls were purchased as souvenirs of particular countries and like many mass produced souvenirs they are often not accurate representations of a particular country or region, and may actually better reflect neighbouring counties or regions. This occurs because costumes are often stylised and simplified resulting dolls wearing generic costume elements which are common to many countries/regions. Often the fabrics and decorations used are selected to make the dolls cheap and easy to manufacture and aesthetically pleasing. This can result in the fabrics, colours and decorations of the doll's clothing having little or no reflection of the costume associated with a particular country or region they are meant to be representative of.
Physical Description
Female doll wearing a red frilled dress. There are three layers of frilling in the skirt, each of which is trimmed with black lace. The bottom layer has piping in it to make the skirt 'fly' out as though the doll has just spun around. The bodice of the dress is skin tight and trimmed with black lace around the neck and sleeves. There is a cream flower in the middle of the chest. Around her neck she wears a gold cross on a chain. Other jewlery includes two gold bracelets and a pair of gold ear-rings. SHe wears a black lace head- dress which hangs down to the bottom of the dress and which is also tied to her hands. On the top of her head a red flower. In her hand she holds a black lace fan which opens and closes. Her nails are painted red. Her facial features are painted on. She wears red high-heals.

Ceritinib in advanced anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK)-rearranged (ALK+) non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC): Results of the ASCEND-1 trial.
Abstracts that were granted an exception in accordance with ASCO's Conflict of Interest Policy are designated with a caret symbol (^).
Background: ALK+ NSCLC is sensitive to crizotinib (CRZ) but patients (pts) invariably progress. Ceritinib (LDK378) is a novel ALK inhibitor (ALKi) more potent than CRZ in enzymatic and cell-based assays and CRZ-resistant animal models. Prior results from this Phase I study (ASCEND-1) established a MTD of 750 mg/d. Methods: Adult pts with advanced ALK+ cancers received oral ceritinib q.d. After MTD determination, pts were enrolled to expansion groups: ALKi pretreated (PT) NSCLC; ALKi naive NSCLC; non-NSCLC diseases. Results are reported for all NSCLC pts receiving ceritinib at the recommended dose (750 mg/d). Results: 255 pts from 11 countries were treated at 750 mg/d. 246 pts had ALK+ NSCLC, with 4.5 months' median follow-up; of these, 67% had received ≥2 anticancer therapies; ORR was ≥60% in each subgroup of pts with 0, 1, 2, and 3 prior anticancer regimens. 83 pts were ALKi naïve. All 163 ALKi PT pts had received CRZ – 78% as their last prior therapy – and 92% had progressive disease on prior ALKi. Investigator efficacy assessments are presented for 180 NSCLC pts who received first dose of ceritinib ≥18 wks prior to cut-off (2 Aug 2013). Of all 255 pts, the most common AEs were diarrhea (84%), nausea (77%), vomiting (57%), fatigue (36%), and ALT increased (36%). The most common Grade 3/4 AEs were ALT increased (21%), and AST increased (8%). Ceritinib treatment is ongoing for 58% of pts. During the dosing period dose reductions occurred in 133 pts (52.2%), all due to an AE. Only 24 (9.4%) pts discontinued ceritinib due to an AE. Conclusions: Ceritinib 750 mg/d has rapid, durable and high antitumor activity in ALK+ NSCLC pts, regardless of prior treatment with ALKi, providing effective treatment in this pt population. Clinical trial information: NCT01283516.

The Dead Mothers Club
Molly Shannon in 'The Dead Mothers Club'
This morning on the train, I started reading "The Goldfinch," Donna Tart's enormous novel that won the Pulitzer this year. Five pages in, you learn that Theo, the protagonist, has a life that's been separated by the "dividing mark" of his mother's death, Before and after. This would ring familiar to anyone with a dead mother, or a dead parent, or a sick parent or friend. The moment before the death, in hindsight, seems like it was lived by an entirely different person, someone who's now unrecognizable.
Last week, I went to a screening of the documentary "The Dead Mothers Club" sponsored by Modern Loss, the web site founded by Rebecca Soffer and former Sisterhood editor Gabrielle Birkner. "The Dead Mothers Club" follows three women whose mothers all died before they were 20 years old, and includes perspectives from Rosie O'Donnell, Molly Shannon and Jane Fonda, whose mothers also died when they were young.
(Here's a thing about me: I don't like watching movies. It's really hard to get me to sit down to do anything that I have to give all of my attention to, especially if it's dark and I can't write. I also tend to get really anxious, so I become that twitchy, hand-waving, sound-making person in the movie theater.)
This is all to say that the experience of seeing "The Dead Mothers Club" with an audience, means hearing a lot of other people crying, people who have also had the before and the after, or maybe are in the midst of having them, or in the immediate aftermath. The film is less a trigger of tears for me, though, than it is affirming. But then, I've never been a crier. Not even when you'd think I would be.
In the film, Rosie O'Donnell says that having a dead mother is like being in a club: "You're initiated, you get a tattoo, you're not getting away." Ginger, one of the three women followed in the movie, lost her mother to suicide when Ginger was in college. In the film, she reflects on her dreams that her mother is alive again, saying: "You can't just come back into our lives like this and pretend nothing ever happened." For me, it's the perfect summation of what it means to lose someone with whom you had a difficult, even toxic, relationship, but still, you can't imagine what it would be like to live without them, until suddenly, or not so suddenly, you are. And then you're making your own life, and more and more often as you live the life you always wanted, you think, it's better this way.
There are many parts of "The Dead Mother's Club" that really show the texture of the loss, and then there are the small moments, those that happen too quickly, but should be grabbed onto tightly. There's the stigma of being the kids without the mother, Rosie O'Donnell said, but there's also the "looking motherless," when you stumble through the world without a net, and everyone can see it. It's the closest the film comes to talking about class, about what happens when you lose not only a parent, but all the security, emotional and financial, that that person represents. When my mother died I got her life insurance, but I didn't know what to do with that money. I spent it quickly, and when it was gone, I stumbled financially, publicly, again, and again, because I didn't know how not to.
"Losing your mother can be both challenging and liberating," said filmmaker Carlye Rubin, who answered questions after "The Dead Mothers Club" screening. It's something I can't hear often enough, even now, myself 15 years on the other side of the dividing mark.

Bomb Diggity
Day 71: Xzavion Mikhael "Kel"
Viewpoint: Kel
I took Cris outside and tossed him to the ground. I pulled out my gun.
"You're a fake ass gangster, that ain't got sh*t. You walk around here like you the bomb diggity and b*tch you ain't sh*t. You talk to him again... "
Cris stood up and stared Kel in his face. You could tell that he was afraid, and Kel capitalized on it. Kel continued:
"If you even look his way again, even if me and him aren't together... if he calls me and says I have a problem with Cristoph, then I'ma find you, beat your ass and then I'ma put a bullet in you, count on it!!! Now get your stupid ass out of my face, before I cock this gun!!"
Cris looked Kel up and down and then apologized. Kel put his gun in the air and said, "You got ten seconds to get off of his property!!"
Cris smirked as he walked off into the distance. Kel put the gun on safety, slid it in his back pocket and ran upstairs to Demetreus.
Kel opened the door to be met with Demetreus.
"Do you feel better?" I said as I was met by his mahogany colored eyes.
Dee walked up to me and I grabbed him. His mouth was so warm, the caress of his lips softer than I could have imagined. He tasted tentatively with his tongue, and I had a rush of adrenaline. He released and took a couple of steps back while I caught my breathe.
Malik and Rachel smiled as they made themselves known. I grabbed his hand, and smiled. I whispered, "Tomorrow, we will finish our 1st date, no distractions."
He smiled and said, "I would like that..." He hugged me and whispered, "Thank you Mikhael. He would have never stopped."
I kissed his forehead, "He will now. Especially now that you have me."
I walked him in the back to get his stuff. As soon as he closed the door he kissed me again. His body was warm as he slammed me to the bed...

Greeks in Phoenix

August 2008
BeschreibungThe Greek community in Phoenix began in 1907, when the Sanichas brothers, Charles and Chris, arrived in the city to establish the Sanichas Confectionery Store. By 1912, the year of Arizona's statehood, the community had grown to nine families, including the Georgouses family of five brothers. In 1930, ground was broken for the construction of the Hellenic Community House, where religious services were held until l947, when the Hellenic Orthodox Church was built. Today the legacy of the area's Greek pioneers lives on through the Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Cathedral, which has established a research archive and museum to preserve and celebrate the Greek history of Phoenix.

It really depends how you "lost" them - I have never seen anyone actually lose them without a hardware issue. The best way to get them back would be to recover from backup.....Spiceworks may have been doing automatic backups for you, but you would have to look at the backup folder.

|You Are Thanksgiving
You are a bit of a homebody who enjoys being in the company of people you love.
It doesn't take a lot to make you happy. You're enjoying life as it is.
You have many blessings in your life, and you are grateful for each one.
You believe that life is about what you *do* have. You feel like you have enough of the good stuff.
What makes you celebrate: Family, friends, and the changing of the seasons.
At holiday get togethers, you do best as: The host of the party
On a holiday, you're the one most likely to: Spend so much energy preparing that it's a full time job
The first paragraph is mostly on target anyway. I'm definitely not the host or the to-do woman, though. I just want to bring the side dish, give the kids a present each, and go to Mass. Done.
Happy Thanksgiving all!

Entrepreneurship in Farming
The purpose of this guide is to provide a better understanding of the concept and practice of entrepreneurship. This guide has been prepared for people who want to start a farm business for the first time and for farmers that want to make changes to their farming systems by introducing high value enterprises directed to the market. This guide can also help extension workers be better able to help farmers develop the skills and spirit of an entrepreneur. It is part of a series of booklets on farm business management designed to help extension workers support farmers.

The Role of the Farm Management Specialist in Extension
The materials covered in this collection have been prepared for use by all service providers concerned with promoting farming as a business – whether they work for the private, NGO, or public sector. This could include the public sector extension workers who are involved in farm business management and marketing, private sector business service providers, NGOs and policy-makers. Further, it is hoped that the material will encourage decision-makers in countries where farm management extension positions have not been established to set up such positions.

The Business of Agricultural Business Services – Working with smallholders in Africa
This study suggests that the majority of farmers – particularly smallholders – need to expand their understanding of markets and economic opportunities in order to run their farms as sustainable and profitable businesses. To create a viable livelihood from farming, they need to move from a sole focus on production for home consumption to producing also for the market. Even though farmers are innovative and entrepreneurial, they often lack the know-how to do so alone. They need advice from others; they need services.

Building Networks for Market Access: Lessons Learned from The Rural Knowledge Network (RKN) Pilot Project for East Africa (Uganda, Kenya and Tanzania)
The core idea of the Rural Knowledge Network (RKN) was to make more information available, specifically about markets, to smallholder farmers. This was done by building a network of entrepreneurs who collected price information regularly and sent it to a central collecting Internet platform facility. Due to the demonstrated benefits the RKN project has shown, the report concluded that rural market access to business networks should be expanded to reach commercially viable scales through the ongoing IFAD, FAO and other development programmes in the region.

RENTON - Seahawks rookie offensive lineman John Moffitt will be out for the rest of the season because he needs to undergo surgery to repair his right knee, after he suffered an injury in the first quarter of Sunday's game. Moffit was chosen in the third round out of Wisconsin and had started all nine games for Seattle this season. He suffered injuries to medial-collateral ligament (MCL) and post-collateral ligament (PCL). His anterior-cruciate ligament (ACL) is OK, which means his recovery should proceed faster. Moffitt was replaced in Sunday's game by Lemuel Jeanpierre. Paul McQuistan also may be a consideration to take Moffitt's spot going forward. "We'll figure that out," coach Pete Carroll said. The injury comes at a time as Seattle's offensive line has shown improvement, allowing only two sacks over the previous two games. "He has been working so hard at it, and has been such a big part, too," Carroll said of Moffitt. "Good character in the locker room, and all. A good guy. He...

Her Name
I held her close to my chest, my breaths coming out unevely as the hammock swung slowly from the right to the left. It didn't feel awkward. But it felt strange. I liked having her close to me. Her body was in contrast, rather cold compared to mine which gave her all the reason to snuggle up even closer.
Her face was resting near the curve of my neck and she lay in my arms, unmoving. Maybe she's asleep? I wasn't quite sure but I didn't say anything in case she really was. Savoring the seconds, I memorized the details. The scent of her hair wasn't human but that didn't make it any bad.
It was a mixture of roses and something else I couldn't identify. It smelt sweet and I smiled to myself when I felt one of her arms go around my torso. She was different. But she was bold.
The moments passed by in silence of a sleep that wouldn't come to me. My eyes were closed but my conciousness was still with me. It was when I heard her call my name did my senses perk up once more.
"Yeah?" I asked, moving back a little to see her. Her eyes were wide open, staring up at me and almost glowing in a shadowy haze of gray.
You don't hate me like the others do, right?
I smiled at her. "I think you know the answer to that question." She still looked unconvinced so I confirmed it, "No. I don't."
She sighed, relaxing once again. I'm glad.
It was at that second that I realised I didn't even know her name. "Hey. What's your name?" I asked, curiosity in my voice.
Elia, her soft voice answered.
Elia...graceful, elegant. The name fit her and I whispered it to myself before closing my eyes once more. This time, darkness welcomed me as I fell into a deep sleep.

March 27, 2017: The Thomas County School System became aware early this morning of a very vague threat to an individual student at one of our schools. The student is safe, and the threat is not deemed to be credible. Contrary to social media rumors, no weapons have been found on any of our school campuses nor have there been any incidents of violence on our campuses. We have determined that it is safe for our schools to continue with a normal day. Out of an abundance of caution, in cooperation with the Thomas County Sheriff's Office, we have increased security at our schools.
Georgia State School Superintendent Richard Woods recently named Thomas County Central High School (TCCHS) an Advanced Placement (AP) Honor School. Woods recognized TCCHS in three areas of distinction including "AP STEM," "AP STEM Achievement," and "AP Humanities."
TCCHS was the only high school in the Southwest Georgia region to be named an "AP Humanities School," meaning that the school has a robust advanced placement program in language arts, at least two social science courses, at least one fine arts course, and at least one world language course.

Governor Nathan Deal recently awarded Thomas County Central High School (TCCHS) a technology grant of $699,312 to expand its blended learning program.
Blended learning - - also known as hybrid or mixed-mode courses - - consists of classes in which a portion of the traditional face-to-face instruction is replaced by web-based online learning.
Thomas County's Bishop Hall Charter School was an early-adopter of blended learning. Thomas County has utilized Bishop Hall in the classic way that charter schools were intended, as a laboratory to develop new and innovative teaching techniques. The successful elements of the blended learning model cultivated at Bishop Hall which have resulted in increased academic performance there will be "scaled" or expanded to classes at TCCHS.
In addition to completing Thomas County's one-to-one computer-to-student initiative, the grant will provide funds for extensive professional learning for staff and will provide after-school tutoring for students who experience academic difficulties.

A couple of weeks ago I was having a casual chat with my brother and he was bragging about how he is an amazing photographer. I know for a fact that he has never received any formal training in photography, so this amused me a fair bit. To my surprise, the snaps he showed me actually appeared to have come straight from some expert's portfolio. "Where did you learn this" was my next question.
Interestingly enough, he said that it is actually a software called GIMP (open-source application), that apparently makes even the most ordinary of images look professional and extraordinary.
I wonder if that's the case with most of the images we see these days. With the release of readily available open-source applications like Picasa, GIMP etc., manipulating images has now become much easier than it once used to be. Although this means that attaining a high level of quality is now within the reach of all, where does it place the demand for professional photographers now? Does this mean a normal person with no knowledge of professional photography but efficient software is as good as the experts of the trade? Isn't it supposed to be about the art, the perspective, the skill, the perfect lighting, the correct exposure and so on?
Given the ease of use and features that some software is offering (including depth-of-field, contrast, sharpness, brightness, saturation etc.), I think professionals might need to come up with some added service or different expertise to justify the premium they generally charge!
Do you think software will eventually replace the need for professional photographers?

This is the reason why the quality of photographs in general are on the slide as everyone is suddenly an expert as they have a digital camera and Photoshop (or GIMP).
As you say in your article photography is more than just taking a snap shot, there is an art to it and there is also a science to it. I guess you could call the photoshopping the science, however high skills in art are required to get it correct and you also have to have the right photo (the art) that is taken by an artist/photographer.
The other problem we have is what is in demand and what people now settle for. Most people are happy with their own happy snaps and photos provided by friends and relatives as they are free, anything free always has a shine to it. But does that make them as good or better? Of course not but free is a big plus.
It does come down to 'you get what you pay for', but I will also say there are photographers that charge fees that really are excessive too – so there is a sliding scale of course from very expensive to free.
On that slide is your 'one free photo' business operators, you know the ones in the mall taking your happy child snaps and making them appear like they are pro photographers and give you one picture free and so on. Most if not all are not professional photographers, I mean anyone with a clue about lighting and art would know that. However most people would not know that and blindly accept that the photo taken is the best quality, which as I said is basically people settling for lower quality as it is free/cheap.
It really comes down to what you want to use the photo for, if it is just for your own use then yes I would agree most family happy snaps will be ok for that purpose, but if you want photographs for a large portrait to hang on the wall or for commercial purposes that is to advertise your products, services etc then you really do want to have it done professionally. There is nothing worse than a picture hanging on a wall that is very poorly done or a bad advertisement due to poor photography.
Then there is also the skill involved in capturing life in general, be it still life or in motion, most people will blur images, have the wrong focus, incorrect depth, poor lighting, blown photos, incorrect speed settings and so on, only those with years of photographic experience will get that perfect shot.
So no software will not 'replace' photographers but it will take a bigger piece of the pie as more and more will think they are an 'expert' since they have a Digital Camera and Photoshop. Likewise many professional photographers will need to rethink about what they do and how they provide their services, especially if their business is suffering from the lower quality demand from most people.
I've used Photoshop (on Windows) and GIMP (on Ubuntu) for some time now, and I do find that the amount of tutorials and howtos out there on the web is easy to come by.
Having said that – its slowly becoming even easier to manipulate images without installing software, instead – by using web applications such as Aviary. Aviary (http://aviary.com) provides a powerful suite of web-based applications to drive your creative needs.
all in all, the demand for professional photographers will always be there, heck, your brother might even become one someday, this is just a stepping stone to building up his expertise. with reduced barriers of entry – anything is possible now.
Most images that we see these days have had some sort of post processing work done to them, just like most movie stars have had "work" done to them.
With the vast amount of image manipulation and photographic software available on the market these days, it is very easy to make an average photo look like a good photo, but it takes a bit more than Joe Bloggs and his copy of Photoshop to produce an amazing or professional quality photograph.
There are many ingredients that make up the recipe for an amazing photograph. Its true that a lot of these ingredients can be substituted or artificially done like when people use vanilla essence instead of vanilla pods in a cake mix, but certain key parts that make a photo like, composition, foreground interest and lead in lines are things that are chosen and incorporated into a photo by the photographer.
Look at any photo taken by a professional photographer and you can see all these elements in play, that when combined make a truly amazing and breathtaking photo. Professionals charge the prices they do because of their experience in knowing what makes a truly great photograph, and also the time that they put in to get that one photograph. The famous landscape photographer Peter Dombrovskis used to go bushwalking into the wilderness for a whole week just to get one photo. Isn't that effort and time worth a little more money?
Software will probably never take over from the art of photography, but it will certainly help the average person out there take better photos than they did before, just like cameras are now helping 'point-and-shoot' people produce better photos
Hi Scott,
That actually makes a good point. I agree, there is always a certain amount of skill involved to make the photos look extraordinary. I also think that perspective is very important, not sure but I doubt any software will be having the capability of manipulating the perspective or the panning of the image.
You actually make a very good point by citing Peter Dombrovskis, the amount of devotion, hard work and the experience the professionals put in behind each photo is really to be appreciated.
I wonder though if a specific category of photographers like wedding photographers will have the similar demand as they do these days. Because softwares are making portraits look much better than they are (some cameras even have a mode called the 'magic mode' which does a decent touch-up job on the image to make it look prettier), this might potentially bring up some concerns for event photographers.
Hi Writabrata,
I think that photographic software won't be much of a threat for professional photographers because the average person doesn't have the time or skill to reproduce the same standard of work. Wedding photography can be a daunting task even for a professional. The pressure involved in capturing someone's special day can be enormous. Unfortunately a wedding day is an event that is supposed to happen only once 🙂 with the cost and time involved in a wedding, the photographer only has one opportunity to get it right. Having recently been married and knowing that it will be the one and only time that I will walk down the aisle (now that's confidence), it was reassuring to know that I had a professional looking through the view finder snapping away and capturing all the special moments and not relying on 'Uncle Bob' with his compact point and shoot, hoping that he can capture the moment and somehow get his pimply faced teenage chid to produce some average shots on their PC.
Software allows the average user to enhance their mundane photos and make them worthy of taking up hanging space on the family home walls and not stacked up in a shoe box in the spare bedroom somewhere.
I like to think of the software as a polish of sorts. It enhances and puts the finishing touches on the final product, it doesn't magically construct that product out of thin air.

I don't think software will replace professional photographers but you'll find that companies will choose amateurs to save money. But even amateurs with professional software suites need to spend hours editing your photos. You might find that a professional photographer takes more time to produce a shot of higher caliber but less time editing post-shoot. On the other hand, you've to consider the cost of equipment.
The amateur photographer could take a thousand shots of the same scene and spend a considerable amount of time sifting through blurry images to find something that they can edit. On the other hand, a professional wouldn't need to take so many shots and wouldn't require much time editing. With decent equipment you can tweak the settings of your camera, compose a scene, setup the lighting, and shoot once. You don't need the latest and greatest equipment, but skills and experience will go a long way towards making the process easy and efficient.
In any case, the current software suites out there will have to improve quite a lot to make producing professional images out of bad stock photography easy. The amount of time required to master some of the software would probably be better spent studying photography and learning how the equipment works. You just have to weigh up the costs and decide where your passion lies: at a computer with Photoshop open; or behind a camera on location.
Hi Scott,
Congrats for your wedding, well done!
That bit where you mention 'thats confidence' was hilarious, haha! You do make a very good point actually , on their special day most people would like to rely on professional expertise rather than some random person clicking with their point-and-shoot cameras, after allas you said its possibly the only time someone walks down the aisle!
On a side note, do you think photographers these days actually have to learn the use of Photoshop or similar softwares? Is it an added component to their knowledge now?
Hi Tim,
You actually made a very good point, the time spent learning how to use a proper software is actually to be considered, and from the perspective of a professional photographer, I think that is a saving in terms of time.
Also, as you mentioned, its easy to get an average picture look prettier by tweaking the settings on it, but at the end of the day it still needs to have enough raw information in it so that it can be processed in the software. So from that perspective, I think taking the picture right in the first place is the most important bit.
I wonder if Photoshop or any similar software house are thinking on the lines of perfecting images by removing the blurs, that might add a whole new dimension to photography.
Hi James,
Yeah I agree, this is more sort of a stepping stone for my brother if he wants to become a pro in photography. However, I was thinking of web suites like Aviary, although it allows us to edit images, do they also store a copy of our images on their repository? If so, am not sure if many people would like to edit personal pictures online.
Hi gwmbox,
It is true , at the end of day it is always about 'you get what you pay for'. But there is a very interesting point you made in your comment, that most people are happy with their friends clicking their snaps and then playing aorund with photoshop to give it some effects. Obviously that wouldnt yield similar results like that of a professional photographer, but I think that is where most of the issues are. Most people lack proper knowledge of photography, so 'nice' becomes a very relative scale of assesment for such people. What is nice to them maybe ridiculously imperfect in the eyes of a professional photographer.
I think as you said, the use of the photograph is a very important factor in deciding whom / what you use to get it captured , if it is a once in a lifetime event that you are being a part of, you would like to spend some money to get someone who guarantees the best shot.
In the course of my job as a private investigator and mixed goods importer, I see a lot of touched up photos.
The skill required to 'airbrush' a photo is still quite high. I receive a lot of mail from overseas whilst investigating fraud, and it is still blatantly obvious who is using Photoshop and who is not.
I say that a high degree of skill is still needed to make tasteful and accurate changes to a photo (with more than a dash of artistic ability) with software. Maybe the skills required for photography are just changing as technology progresses.
haha I don't think so, as an amateur photographer myself, I know the limit as an unprofessional photographer. You might get nice shot and which can be perfection using your software afterward by hit and miss sometimes, but not all the time and especially the \critical\ moment. With lack of experience and knowledge you might always get some shoots with wrong setting, \not that nice\ composition, even didnt notice that was the best timing to get some shot~! Future more, software are not only standing beside unprofessional photographers, but professional photographers most of the time can use it to create more wonderful and creative art piece.. 🙂

Future more, software are not only standing beside unprofessional photographers, but professional photographers most of the time can use it to create more wonderful and creative art pieces.. 🙂
Hi Ronoson,
That is exactly right, I think the skillset for producing professional looking photographs has just sort of expanded in size. Previously it was only the raw photograph itself that used to make all the difference, but now if someone is highly skilled with softwares and have a decent knowledge on photography, they might as well produce extraordinary results of a photo which looks average otherwise.
Hi Sam,
Finally we got an amateur photographer!! 🙂
I see your point, and I think its an important one, instead of replacing photography as an art, I think softwares have become a tool of the trade sort of. It helps amateurs to produce good photos, but as you said I think it helps professional photographers to rectify the minute imperfections (if any) and allows them to make the images look more startling altogether.

Interestingly at my brother's wedding I was talking to the photographer during a break in proceedings about how technology has changed his profession.
He said that the rules of taking a good photo hadn't changed, but what had changed from his perspective was the follow up work. Whereas once he'd completed a photoshot before he could drop the film off at the lab and a few days later pick it up and pick the best images.
Now he spends the next four days on his PC touching up images to get the very best out of them – meaning there's a lot more work from his perspective as clients are now also expecting even more from their photos.

Hi Gwynn,
Thats exactly right, I think using softwares has become more sort of an additional skillset that is expected of photographers these days. Its more sort of an added bonus than a replacement altogether.
But as you mentioned, the rules of taking a good photo is still pretty much the same – perspective, panning of the image, brightness etc. etc.
Apart from being a Telstra business consultant. I also have a small business doing car photography for car enthusiasts. In the car photography industry, especially with the car manufacturers, most of the photos are actually computer generated. Everything from the reflections in the panels of the car to the blur of the ground, giving the motion effect.
Do you think software will eventually replace the need for professional photographers?
Given the use of digital manipulation and 3D graphics, photos like the ones on car brochures will eventually be created without the photographer. But this is for people who want absolute perfection in their photos, and with that there is a high price for.
Computer software will always be around photo manipulation but this will only enhance pictures. Software cannot artificially create better composition of a photo, which is all the work of the photographer. Software can make an average photo into a decent picture but professional will take a good picture and make it amazing.
You can replicate effects of a professional photographer using software but in the end it will never have the same feel or the genuine qualities of the real thing.
The concept of someone being a good photographer because they can edit images is completely wrong but widely believed. With a digital camera you can take a lot of pictures and probably some of them can be good by luck more than anything.
There is absolutely no substitute for understanding lighting, depth of field and exposure. Photoshop can make a picture better, but getting the picture right in the camera will consistently give you much better results with minimal adjustment.
There are well documented cases of clueless "photographers" with budget SLR cameras and kit lenses being hired to shoot formal occasions and being sued for poor results.
If any one in Sydney is interested in learning more do a studio workshop on http://AspirationImages.com
Software is the new "darkroom". Film era photography required retouching and chemical process (lab) and some optical filters to get the best out of the photos, this days the same is achieved in software. Less smelly and much more available.
The art of taking good photographs has not changed at all. It is true, some software allows for a lot more creativity than the lab processes ever did and this should simply be embraced as part of technological advancement. Will it change the composition, lighting, deapth-of-field control, ability to see and to capture the moment? No, software can attempt some of this but when compared to the "real" thing it cames remote second best.
PS: taking a good or even great photographs are not purely the domain of a professional photographers. Professional stands for "one who charges money". Sure, in most cases they may have more expertise and experience but that "artful" aspect is still purely personal and can come from anyone, so keep on snapping.
I thought it rather apt that the open-source application is (very appropriately) named GIMP. The general accepted definition suggests it is someone with a handicap, applied to this theme the inability to take a truly worthy photograph.
In answer to the title of your post. In many respects software is taking over the art of photography. Or perhaps it already has.
Give me a raw image (pardon the pun) over software enhanced photography every time.
If you want to see some interesting imaging, have a lock at the photo's on the Southern Astronomy Society website

Hi Aaron,
Thats a very interesting thought altogether, so looks like there is one part of the photography industry that does depend on software for utter perfection of the images..though it may come at a very high price! However, I am assuming these professional softwares that are used for car modelling must be more improved and advanced than the free ones available around, so it needs people with skills in those specific softwares to be paid a lot of money so that they can use their expertise to generate the results wanted.
But you do make a very good point where you say "Software can make an average photo into a decent picture but professional will take a good picture and make it amazing.
"…I absolutely agree, I think at the end of the day its still depending on how creative the individual clicking the photo is.
The law of averages will allow anyone that shoots often to get "some" great shots, and this is good enough for most. Problems occur when people take money to shoot an event or portrait without knowing how to set the camera manually to capture exactly what the client wants. If you cannot explain the correlation between DOF, shutter speed and ISO you should let people know that you are an enthusiast and the results will vary greatly. Post production is a great and almost must have skill these days. But if you don't have good in camera skills you will go hungry as a professional photographer.

I use software regularly to manipulate images but I would never dream of calling myself a photographer…..have waaaaaaaay too much respect for photography as an art form to do that….mind you I also dislike the term digital art…..
Interesting discussion – while software available to manipulate images gets better and better, without a good image to start with, the outcome with only be ordinary as an image. However the image can be made to be an extraordinary piece of art. Photography is way more than just changing parts of the image captured in the camera – it is a combination of the functional skills of photographer to capture a sharp image, with correct exposure. It also depends on being in the right place at the right time, what equipment is used (ie professional lenses get better results than amateur ones);composing the image (what is left out is often more important than what is left in) – you must also have an "eye" for appealing images – or you will still be taking uninspired shots. Therein lies the difference between a pro and an amateur.
As a frustrated landscape photographer, software is tool as much as a good lens is a tool, but software will never replace the photographer or the need to understand light and the optics of photography. Good kit and software can only take you so far.
If you want to go further take lots and understand what went wrong – and get a good mentor.
Using Photoshop or GIMP to tune a shot cannot automatically make you a great photographer. Photography is not just about capturing the image, It's also about capturing the emotion of the moment. Timing is not something that any software can fix.
Technology is having the same affect on photography as it has in music. Music has become awash with "good enough" vocals that have been "fixed" in post-production. The gap between "good enough" and great is narrowed, but cannot be completely closed
Whether it be in photographer or music, true talent can be recognized, it just takes a little focus
Hi David,
Being a professional musician myself, I absolutely agree with your view where mention that 'The gap between "good enough" and great is narrowed, but cannot be completely closed'…I think though that most of the population sometimes agree to settle with the 'good' and not the 'great' maybe because there is a fair bit of expenditure involved. But, as you said, at the end of the day, its always about the quality and if true art is to evaluated, then quality needs to be one of the most crucial tools to evaluate it.
Wonder if we can have a software change the perspective of an image altogether, that might call for some extra bucks and experience!
A good photo requires a good eye. The outcome is delivered by a skilled photographer and/or skilled software user with a good eye.
I think the real debate here is how you interpret photography, what is a photographer?
Hi Tony,
The point you make about lighting is pretty unique, I think softwares do manipulate brightness and lighting in images, but i think the point you are trying to make is that selective and appropriate lighting in an image comes from an experienced pair of eyes behind the lens, and not from the computer screen isnt it.
Hi Helena,
I see your point, funny enough I ended up fighting with my brother on this because I said the same to him!! Ha ha!
The only technical requirement to be labelled a professional (pro) photographer is to derive a certain percentage (>35%??) of your income from photography. Photography skill levels and creativity are very subjective when comparing an amateur/enthusiast to pro photographer. It's my opinion that pro photographers are just better at marketing in some/most cases.
Think about the type of work a pro photographer gets paid to do, compared to what an amateur photographs (regardless of software manipulation). Pro photographers get paid for a particular task, or to cover an event and deliver photos within deadlines. You won't find many amateurs doing hours of free work for someone else. Online software will hardly replace pro photographers. In fact professional software have actually made their jobs easier with inbuild templates and automated workflows.
Hi Writabrata,
Yes that is my point. nothing replaces a good eye at the view finders, but as others in this thread have commented, you need to understand optic, iso, DoF and a whole heap of other factor as well to make a realy good photographer.
The best thing to ever happen to my photography was a good mentor. He started on medium format B&W and has talk me lots.
I never considered myself as a 'great' photographer – I tend to take holiday landscape snaps. However, I did inheret a decent Digital SLR just before my niece's wedding so thought I would take a few (hundred) pictures for the family. So I just followed the professional photographer around taking similar photos as her shots and extras as well.
The professional had an equipment malfunction (USB stick meltdown) and lost most of her photos. After the blind panic settled down, the bride's father asked if the photographer could have copies of my photos.
I got a phone call from the photographer a couple of days later thanking me for using the highest resolution available and telling me my pictures are actually quite good. My pictures saved the day.
My point is using good equipment in the first place at decent resolutions is the start point of good pictures. (And keep backups).
It's a fantastic read and the opinions add flavour to it.
I am a photography enthusiast and been taking photos for few years now.
What the photo actually needs is a good character, such as framing, composition, DOF, time, place and so many mentioned in the above posts. I think with the advances in technology, the software, might be able to do it one day and "would you be happy with that?"
At the end of the day, the sense of satisfaction that we derive out of a good capture, never is substituted by any level of software manipulation. I believe in the out of the box photos with very basic fixing such as, contrast or brightness and it's a personal perspective as to what they expect out of themselves. As the word amateur or intermediate is quite relative, I would try to avoid it.
A basic photographer is happy with a photo from a mobile or a smartphone. Well, sometimes it might turn up good.
I have seen the best photos out of a very basic camera, manual or digital. So what matters is the eye behind the camera and that's priceless.
Certainly, the gap between a good and a great photo is narrowed but couldn't be closed. I totally agree with that.
When I have time, I still try to use my manual and it makes me think ten times before I click and helps me learn more. Digital has made things easier be it hardware or software but the sense of achievement has gone down. Hence we hold some of the old photographers as priceless.
Now-a-days, we have a feeling at the back of our mind, when we see a snap, "Probably it might be digitized". There is nothing wrong in it and more people get a chance to be involved in the world of photography.
1st of all there those who take pictures and those who take photographs and I am sure you will agree that there is a big difference between the 2.
In the comercial world, photographs enhanced by those softwares will have a better chance of selling than those without. It is some sort of an edge like drinking coffee or Redbull. Having said that there are terrific photographers out there that do not use it and still comes out with wonderful photos (purist) or at the very least twicks only the brightness and contrast like you would in a processing lab when printing a photo. As others have said there will always be a need for them bourne out of commercial need (money money).
Personally I do not beleive in them sometimes the finish products looks more like an illustrations than a photograph.
Like many others who previously said and I agree, no matter what equipment you have or software you use or not, the secret of a good photograph is the eye behind the view finder.
Good night and good luck.

What is the difference between amateur or professional photographer? This is not 1+1 = 2. Yes you can do courses, however i am not aware there are exams.
I have been taking photos for a year now. Some of the photos look as good as "Pro". Equipment helps in certain situations. Some people are better at taking photos than others, like my wife. For me, practise and reading / learning definitely help.
Will software takeover art of photography? In my opinion, you cannot replace "art". However, maybe one day you will not need to take "photo", rather using software and databases of photos or images to create a picture.
I have seen the movie Avator twice… 2D and 3D versions!
Photos do bring back happy memory, be it my son's photos or holiday snaps. Something software can't create.
"An amateur worries about equipment"
"A professional worries about money"
"A master worries about the light"
For decades I could take just a good photo (even after photoshop) until I worked out the statement above and learned what needed to be learned.
No amount of software can replace the right light. It can help save a shot you mis-exposed, but the genuinely good shots need perfect light to start with.
Sure the digital photography can be enhanced by software – in fact it is already happening – look at the so called celebrity magazines – movies and etc…
The real pictures of a photographer (not touched) will still be a masterpiece (art form) since it is an art to take a picture.
Having experienced being both amateur and professional in the imaging industry I have seen and heard the views from both sides. Before even discussing the use of software to enhance a photo, the content of the photo itself is what matters ! No amount of software use can create a great photo if the original capture has no subject of interest ! Just viewing the many major photo exhibitions on display this year in Sydney will show that it is the content that matters and which gains the viewer's eye. You have to have gone out there to capture the image and to work at setting it up or going places to gain the image you have in mind. So much is in the mind of the photographer – this cannot always be created using software.
Note that my surname was spelt incorrectly! Should be Bryan.

I think it's great the technology has given us the opportunity to enable photos to be improved. Photos capture a moment in time. (see my blog The Passing Of Time here in TEX) Some times wonderful, some times amazing, happy even sad. They are all moments that are important to the taker of the photo. If that moment, whether it be a wedding, a birthday party or simply a picnic in the park image can be improved. I'm all for it. I don't think it takes away from a photographers skill. You still need the eye for the subject that you are capturing.
HI Gavin,
Very interesting point where you mentioned that "Photography skill levels and creativity are very subjective "…quite true actually, I guess it comes back to one of those grey areas where we decide what is 'good enough' for us. I think good and bad is really relative, and thats where things become a little fuzzy. Ordinary people are reluctant sometimes to get professionals involved because they dont understand the difference in quality of work of an amateaur and a pro. But if you look at it from an ipartial point of view, I agree, Pro photographers will only become better with time with softwares easing out the process altogether. Softwares are the tool, both for Pro and amateurs.
Hi Barbara,
You just revealed an amazing aspect of the discussion altogether….the mind! You are right, I think the creative flair has no boundaries, and it is mostly the mind where all of the creative genius takes birth from. Softwares may manipulate an image , but the content cannot be manipulated or tampered with, only the effects can be modified to make it all the more appealing.
Hi Damir,
Absolutely correct! Its all in the art isnt it….but the worrying bit though, is that how many people understand the creative genius involved behind producing a real piece of art. I think the mass needs to be educated about the essence of art to some extent, so that we all are on the same page.
Magazines these days, as you mention, do flaunt of brilliant images , thanks to the enhanced functionalities provided by softwares…however the photographers are the ones who produce the image in the first place isnt it.
Hi Larry,
I have read your blog and to be honest absolutely loved it! There is a very old saying which says 'time and tide waits for none'….time will go by, and no matter how much we try to catch up, we will always be missing the bits and pieces of time.
The subject , as you say, is absolutely important, to make an image look prettier is different than getting the pretty image in the first place, I agree.
Hi Jim,
Your comment made my day!
"An amateur worries about equipment"
"A professional worries about money"
"A master worries about the light"
These are the golden rules which pretty much explain what this topic is all about.

At the Sept. 25 press conference ahead of the Sept. 28 Berlin Marathon, 2013 Moscow World Championships women's marathon bronze medalist and half marathon national record holder Kayoko Fukushi (Team Wacoal) was confident as she said, "I got all my training in and I'm feeling good. I'm going for the time and the win."
Berlin will be Fukushi's first marathon in over a year, her last being her medal-winning run in Moscow. The site of a new men's world record last year and all three sub-2:20 Japanese women's marks to date including Mizuki Noguchi's national and course record 2:19:12, Fukushi's absolute minimum goal on Berlin's speed course is to significantly better her 2:24:21 PB. "The other athletes here say they're going to try to break 2:20. If I go out with them I think the time I'm looking for will be in the cards." Berlin represents the first step toward Rio two years down the line, but Fukushi looked relaxed as she said, "If I run the time then everything else will follow. I want to have some fun."
Translator's note: The official press release on the women's race describes it as a "trio" looking to run sub-2:20, a trio made up of Ethiopians Tirfi Tsegaye and Feyse Tadese and American Shalane Flanagan. Fukushi receives passing mention at the end. Flanagan's IAAF-recognized PB is 2:25:38 rather than the aided mark given in the press release.
Update: Fukushi's agent Brendan Reilly tweeted the following re:Fukushi in Berlin:
@JRNHeadlines I don't have exact numbers, but I think Kayoko took down about a dozen 2:22 or better women in Moscow last August. #underrated

You can't go wrong with a cast like this. The movie is about a group of call girls who quit the job after one of them is murdered. They all go their own directions and change their names. Alley is an actress, Cattrall a doctor, Boone a successful singer (she sings O Come All Ye Faithful-not the Christmas song, mind you) etc. Then, 15 years later, they are reunited when the killer returns. I give this one ***1/2 out of *****. Definitely worth seeing; a pretty good suspense thriller with a few plot twists.

Lucio Volpe is a 39-year-old Italian photographer, based-in Monza. He currently shoots mostly portrait on film with his Minolta X-370s and Polaroids.
Lucio who has just been featured on Shooting Film today came back and would like to share his main reasons that make him still love shooting film.
1. I love the colours and emotions that can provoke the grit and dust on every film.
2. Not have the ability to immediately see the result of shots taken, this makes me more careful about what to photograph.
3. Analogue photography longer reflects reality and is able to make us see also what at first escapes, we say that he has a soul more poetic and delicate.
4. I really enjoy going into the store to choose films that later use.
5. Watching films developed through light is so wonderful and magical.

Life is good when you're an effective placekicker, playing on a team with a stagnant offense that rarely finds the end zone.
Life is even better when you're paid quite handsomely for your results.
Per ESPN's Adam Schefter, the Chiefs signed kicker Ryan Succop to a five-year, $14 million extension Friday.
The deal, which runs through 2016, includes a $2 million signing bonus and $2 million in guaranteed salary for next season.
The value of the new pact could reach as high as $14.675 million if additional incentives are met.
Succop was drafted in 2009 by Kansas City and has connected on 69-of-84 career field goals. This season, he's made 24-of-29 tries, with a long of 54-yards.
Now financially set — both in life and the NFL — Succop, formerly known as Mr. Irrelevant, figures to remain in K.C. for the long term.
