Earl August 24th, 2010 No Comments

In a very interesting article published on the web site, Seeking Alpha, there is a very interesting article on the success of the Kindle vs Apple’s iBooks. However, in this article, “Kindle is Outselling iBooks Big Time“, the author makes a prediction on the demise of the book stores as we know them in something like 5 to 8 years. Essentially, in this decade there is going to be a hugh transformation of the delivery system of what was formally

Coming to a National Park near you, a Walmart Super Center:

Earl June 2nd, 2010 No Comments

It is prophetic that Ken Burn’s latest production deals with the history of our National Parks. In Mr. Burn’s documentary, he highlighted the fight that has taken place over the years between private commercial interests and those of the larger good of our society. The benefit of our campaign extends to future generations who are not denied the ability to know and share with us the natural glory and historical tradition the National Park System encompasses.
Starting most notably with Yosemite

The Cost of a WordPress Web Site

Earl March 13th, 2010 No Comments

I though I would put together the cost for me to develop this WordPress site. Not included in this figure is my time in developing it, but I am not a programmer or developer. I do have a very limited knowledge of web site design and I am willing to get my hands dirty. That does mean that one makes mistakes, but if one fallows a process of backing things up and making copies before experimenting, you always have a

Earl Discovers iPhone/iPod Touch Apps

Earl March 12th, 2010 No Comments

It is not that I haven’t known that iPhone/iPod Touch apps existed before even though I do not presently own an iPhone. As a Verizon user, I purchased an iPod Touch last year to install a couple of photography apps to use out in the filed, one being a Depth of Field calculator and the other was the On One app for controlling ones camera. However, with the introduction of Robert Giroux’s Easy Release, an app designed to allow photographers

WordPress Site

Earl March 11th, 2010 No Comments

Well, I have my new web site up and running. Some final tweaking to do, but essentially it is finally done. An interesting transition from an html site to a one dependent on the WordPress Blog structure. The advantage of using WordPress is that there are so many templates available either for free or for a nominal price. I ended up using a template from Viva Themes to give me a jump start on the the process.
Then there comes

Art of Photography

Earl March 1st, 2010 1 Comment

“The more you understand what inspires you, the more readily you can put yourself in its path”  David duChemin

This is the beginning of a long discussion on the art of photography, what other professionals are shooting, a study on composition and a look at creative authenticity, just to name a few of the topics. I intent this discussion to be different from what other photographers have presented and some of it will be a compilation of their written thought. However,

Earl March 20th, 2009 Comments Off

Adding a blog to a web site is such an interesting process. The first thing I learned was to be very careful in allowing comments. In a very short order I was inundated with all kinds of comments from outside the US having nothing to do with photography or the subject at hand. I will leave it up to the reader to determine the subject matters.
Next is just the process of managing a blog, its format, incerting images and making

Earl January 23rd, 2009 No Comments

I have added the links to ERPImages.com under stock. Right now there are two selections, one for ERPImages and another for PhotoShelter. I am now in the process of building to stock selection in ERPImages. Over time this web site will become more robust and eventually I plan to phase out PhotoShelter.
