… and his drawings

If you liked Michael Paul Smith’s time-travel photographs from the past, take a look at his drawings and paintings. They are rendered with great technical detail, great technique, and they manifest strong artistic vision. The drawing below is his “first attempt to draw with colored pencils.” Colored pencils?

PSRI Magazine is Out

The PSReye Focus magazine, featuring the photographs and articles of PSRI members and Providence College photography students is available for purchase. It is the result of the hard work of two Providence College students, Emma Hansen and John Vaghi with contributions from many photographers and the keen and critical eye of the editorial board of the magazine. It is published on an on-demand printing platform and anyone can purchase as many copies as they want. The photographic contributions are great so is the print and paper quality. It should make an excellent Christmas gift or stocking stuffer for the photo buff and art lovers.

Order it directly from MagCloud. The holiday price until January 1, 2010 is $12.50 plus shipping. After that the price will go up to $15.00 plus shipping. Shipping charges depend on the delivery speed, the lowest cost option at $1.40 per magazine arrives within about one week. MagCloud accepts PayPal or credit card payments and you will receive your copy in your mailbox within about one week although they indicate 1-2 weeks.

We hope that you enjoy the magazine, which is most likely a camera club first.

Your digital camera and the Nobel Prize

This year, the Nobel Prize in physics was awarded to two American physicists “for the invention of an imaging semiconductor circuit – the CCD sensor”. Willard S. Boyle and George E. Smith made it possible for us to enjoy the tremendous capabilities of digital photography. We owe them gratitude.
