is that whatever it was, I failed to keep it. Maybe you're the
same. Maybe you resolved to quit smoking, lose weight, or read
more. We all make promises with ourselves, then fail to keep
those promises. Worst of all, those promises might be exactly
what we need most. Consider this: When was the last time ...Read the rest of this entry »

aside a large chunk of your time in developing your pictures
since color and tonal adjustments are simple and precise.
Although there still are complexities in colors using digital
printing unlike the black and white darkroom printing, the print
output of this new process is fast ...Read the rest of this entry »

Review on the Art of Optical Illusions
What do you say when you want someone to believe you? Probably,
you'll say, "I saw it with my own eyes." That's because you
believe that if you have seen something with your own eyes, it
must be true. But your eyes can fool you.
Certain patterns confuse your eyes and brain, causing you to
misjudge the size of a circle, or the length of a line. When
your eyes see a picture, they "send" that picture to your brain.
Then it's up to your brain to make sense of the picture. But
