I’ve just created a new gallery on my website designed specifically for pictures that I’ve taken on my mobile phone. Most of the pictures were photographed with my Nokia 6300 and then post processed in Adobe Lightroom. Some of the processing was done in camera with features like: false colours, which creates a cross processed feel; negative; and solarize. The camera itself is only 2 megapixels and has no focus, exposure or depth of field control. I like that, it gives more chance for creativity. It does have a decent zoom, but it’s all digital and I prefer to shoot with a fixed focal length anyways. Continue reading →

What the F**K is Social Media?
I was browsing through twitter this evening and came across a really cool slide show. It talks all about social media and how companies (and consumers) should be using it to have conversations and not to just blast out useless information that we could get from a more mainstream (read: old school) venue such as T.V. or radio. Here’s the link to the blog I found it at courtesy of @stephenbaugh. I encourage everyone who reads this to go through it. It’s 80-something slides but it only takes about 5 minutes and it’s full of awesome facts about social media. While you’re at it, go check out the customer-company pact as well.

Here’s the actual slideshow!
