The Loss of an iCon

Its been a while since I have posted an entry (as usual regular day job getting in the way). But I just wanted to post a little thanks to someone who has heavily influenced my life and lifestyle, right down to who I currently work for....

Thanks Steve

INSPIRATION : ERIC KIM

Eric Kim is a photographer I've only recently started following, his street photography is good....real good, along with his blog where he shares a lot of knowledge as well as stories I'm not entirely sure why but his stuff kind of reminds me of William Eggleston's work, not entirely sure why considering he was particularly known for his work with color film but it just does, maybey it was the style of this film I just watched.

Anyway, that film I've made sure I have imbedded it in this post, I do apologise for the time I've taken out of this blog, but I have been thinking about a lot of things regarding myself, my photography, as well as I have also started a new day job which has a lot of training before I start at the new job. So I do apologise for that......this video however along with Eric really has sparked something in me that I'm not to sure what I should do about, but we shall see what happens

Thanks a bunch guys, check it out

Overly Photoshopping a Photo CAN be a good thing.

Hey there guys, just thought I'd pass on a really good write up that PetaPixel did about a 76 year old man named Baojun Yuan who lives in China where alot of people cannot afford a service that he is offering, this service is Photo Restoration. What this involves is the RESTORATION of photos rather than the RETOUCHING of photos, apparently he learnt Photoshop at the age of 60 and has since offered his skills and services for free.
