Photoshop Product Manager Bryan ONeil Hughes performs a quick sneak peak overview of the Content-Aware Fill in Photoshop CS5. The tedious task of cloning is virtually solved. Photoshop Content-Aware delivers a near-miracle feature by adding content that didn't exist or simply covering up items that you don't want within your photograph. Retouching and completely reimagining a photo is within reach and can be executed with the great speed of a cloud computer but the masterful manner of a well-trained artist.

Here's a link for photographers, videographers and radio reporters alike. It's one of my all-time favorite companies for photo, audio and video equipment. And they have a great selection of used goods. I have been using them since the early years of my career as a photographer, dating back to the early-90s. Back then, B&H Photo distributed a regularly-published newsletter crafted from stapled paper. I purchased tens of thousands of dollars of equipment from that publication throughout the years. This link was inspired by Twitter friend JustinBrown17, specifically his reply to my post regarding photojournalist camera equipment and my prized Domke Camera Bag for working the newspaper scene. The photo used for this post was ripped from his Twitter page. Direct any photo credit therein. The kid's got motocross game. Just needs to begin branding his Twitter page. Check it.

This isn't a post aimed to be a comprehensive review. I work for a living. But since I haven't been in the photo printing business lately, I had forgotten which photography printers I had accounts setup with. Therefore, I had to perform a search and dug up the handful I have previously used for digital printing, a few others photographer friends continue to use exclusively for print and digital purposes, and a few we none of us have bothered with.

It seems the business of marketing, particularly social media marketing, remains on course with a continuum of exponential growth. Bouncing around between a massive list of bookmarks and well categorized RSS feeds within my Mozilla Firefox web browser, even with advanced organizational skills, it is often difficult to keep up with certain aspects of the industries I engage. Organizing data, identifying opportunies and prioritizing them according to objectives is key.

I am hereby breaking into the business of making news of someone else's hard work. I toss a quick quip and a sensational array of edgy words. It's artistry and engaging. I don't dictate onto the masses. I embrace them. I call it news aggregation. It's nothing more than a modified blog of slightly more important subject matter. Yet it's news. I am a news aggregator. It's word of mouth marketing. I merely regurgitate what I refer to as news and do unto it like a cow chews cud. The normal method of consumption is chew, swallow, stomach and dump. So goes the old ways of the news world. The newspaper is virtually dead. Now, we mouth off a bit, chew it, swallow it, and combine the final two stages into one, regurgitating facts and opinion amid social media outlets and thereby commence into the abyss of new age reporting until the fad fades into emptiness.

Having begun my career in media, primarily as a photojournalist, working for a variety of Southern California newspapers throughout the mid '90s, I have weeded through the multitude of available camera bags throughout the years to arrive at one name. The Domke camera bag is indispensable for virtually any photographer, especially those working as photojournalists and commercial photographers.

One of the trick features of the standard Domke Balistic and Classic Camera Bags are that they conform to the contour of your hips, keeping your camera bag clutched to your every move and all photography gear within quick and easy reach. Moreover, these camera bags are built tough with canvas and ballistic nylon options that resist the elements of weather. The fact these camera bags are loosely fitting, they are also uniquely adept at absorbing shock blows from rigorous newspaper assignments, which can often take you from one extreme to another.

I remember the days. I worked straight HTML. I wrote like a mad man. Lived the ultimate off-road lifestyle and documented the insanity by means of a camera, a keyboard and often times a satellite internet connection. Those were the days of Off-Road.com. There were editorial days that existed long before the ORC era of my life, but they do not size up to the workload, responsibility nor adventure. Traffic at ORC was ultimately bolstered by informative and often humor-laced excitement. And during that era of my life, it was far more difficult to web publish that excitement as it is today. Straight HTML via notepad and then manually publishing links via FTP file upload for an array of primary directory pages was an extremely tedious task. Homesite soon eased the HTML editing woes but also inserted erroneous code. Fortunately, Macromedia Dreamweaver segued onto the scene has long proven to be a standard asset in my code-slinging repertoire.
