Some photos from Dorians Parlor last weekend.

I haven't mentioned this, but our friend Jared Axelrod sold a book to Tor, it comes out next year and it quite steampunk, which is appropriate as he is the very definition of steampunk.


In the year buildup to it's publication, Jared is doing a series of podcasts that tell an entire backstory, trillian_stars was in episode three, in fact, she was episode three. You should check them out and learn more about Jared's graphic novel, it's all at Fables of the Flying City.


It's about a flying city, how can you not like it?


Thanks for all the wonderful responses to yesterday's post, and all the reposts. it got me thinking. How about we have portfolio day here on July 1? I'll make a post, and everybody follow it up by posting a link to their 12 best photos? That'll give everyone time to get their flickr page together.

In other news, I have an iPhonetography workshop scheduled July 10-11th in Los Angeles -- right now we're still short about five people that we need to make it happen. I realize it's pretty specific but I can guarantee that you'll blow your friends away with your iPhone images when you get home. Drop me a line if you're interested in participating. It's $99 for two days.

In other-other news, I have a general photography workshop coming up in Chicago July 31 - August 1. There are still a couple of slots open, but that one's going to fill up no problem and will likely end up with a waiting list, let me know if you're interested in that one too. We'll be working on lights, portraits, and getting your camera off of manual.

In other-other-other news, I'm liking the new LJ repost feature. It seemed to work very well yesterday.


That's it. Be fabulous today.

Friended you (hope you don't mind)

Would love to do the portfolio day with you. I hope the weather clears up between now and then...(landscapes are my *thing* until mushroom season begins).

How did I fail to notice that repost button yesterday??!! I just re-posted - what a fantastic feature, this is LONG overdue! :D

This will make passing the word around so much easier.

Portfolio Day is an excellent idea! It's great to see lots of work by other artists.

I'm spending the day at a crafts summit -- everyone will be fabulous!

I'm tempted to come up and just visit for the Chicago workshop. It would be great to see Valya, Silveringrid and you.

July 1st, marking it in my calendar right now! Portfolio Day!

Next time you are "near Minneapolis" please do an iphonetography workshop. Please.

Although it is a bit intimidating I love the idea of portfolio day and would love to participate as very much an amateur!

Here's another person down with the portfolio day.

Actually, I used the "Share this!" icon to share yesterday's post on Facebook. Worked like a charm!

Great idea! I tried to do this today and ended up with a Portfolio of 32 images!

I need to prune it down - but it was fun to go through my stuff and pick out my favorites. It sort of showed me what I've been doing. A mini-retrospective.

Now, that would be fun - treating yourself as if you are your own art historian and going over your own body of work.
