Scrapblog is another playground for your photos but due to number of possible effects it may be actually called a theme park but still is very intuitive and easy.

See you next Friday.

There was five of us – friends from the neighbourhood. Some time ago last one of us got married and one guy did not show up at the wedding. We laughed that his wife did not let him as he is a bit under her shoe. We sent him a photo from the wedding with all of us. As a response we received a text message from his wife! Something like this: “Please do not send us photos because I don’t want it. Look into the future like us. Don’t look back”. That was a huge shock to all of us. Poor lad. His wife did one of the worst things she could. She cut him off from his real friends (we knew each other for over 25 years). That is a disaster. He stepped into a real shit and we do feel sorry for him. I just hope he doesn’t snap at some point. I would be single if my wife wanted me to choose between friends and her and that is the only advice I can give: if you see it comming then runaway. There is a huge difference between commitment for life and screwing your life up.

To feed or not to feed? That is the question. There is no fast rule on this topic. Couple should always ask their photographer in advance and have it agreed before the wedding day. So far I was only on one wedding where I didn’t get any food. There was also no food available to buy so me and the videographer went to the village and bought some Indian take away. We had to eat it outside the marquee in front of a surprised guests. As I usually work more than 8 hours (most of the times about 12) I believe that it is not so bad idea to eat something during the time and have a short break when everyone else is eating too. I do not take photos during dinner as I do not consider stuffed mouth an interesting topic. Dinner time is the best time to sit back, have a meal and recharge for the rest of the day. Some photographers state in their contracts that a meal is required and even refuse to shoot the wedding if a couple has a problem with feeding them. I don’t. Some venues provide a thing called “vendor’s meal” which is usually a sandwich and a drink in a separate room. That is absolutely fine with me. Remember: happy photographer = better pictures.

Last week I was away and did not have access to the Internet hence two playgrouds today.

With Geogreeting you can create a greeting animation with text based on satellite photos. Pretty unusual way to say something to someone.

Dumpr is a collection of a few effects which can help changing your photo into a painting or put it on a cube.

See you next Friday.
