Fit Photographer Update – Progress Month 2

by A.J. Wood January 25, 2009 Fitness

I’ve realized that I miss the structure of my youth. (My Dad just rolled over in the grave hearing that) The benefit of childhood is the worst thing in your life was chores & homework. Oh how we wish we could grow up faster until we realize how easier things were before. My independence has [...]

Why You’ll Never Be David Hill or Innovation Will Never Die

by A.J. Wood January 20, 2009 Arts/Media

If you visited Scott Kelby’s blog you know that yesterday he revisited the “Dave Hill” technique, and today’s post was part II. I was surprised to read the disclaimer on the top of Scott’s blog, yet another reminder that people can be idiots. First of all, it’s disappointing that anyone–let alone a man who devotes [...]

But I’m an Artist! or Understanding Art & Business 101

by A.J. Wood January 15, 2009 Arts/Media

This morning I caught a post by @Landailyn over on her blog Janinealogy. I felt the opening dialogue made the point: Question: I am: a) retired, b) bored, c) unemployed, and I’m looking to work from home! I’ve used Photoshop for years! Does anyone have any ideas on what I can do to: a) start [...]

We All Wanna Be Big Rock Stars

by A.J. Wood January 13, 2009 Arts/Media

Rumor has it yours truly was a musician at one point. Indeed, I was a keyboard player, and what I lacked in discipline I made up for with a small bit of talent. I had some early success, nice college scholarship, and at the age of 19 I was making more money than I could [...]

@Firgs This Tequila Shot is For You

by A.J. Wood January 13, 2009 Ramblings

Bring it on… DO NOT, under any circumstances, for money, power, a display of bravado or even that brief moment of insanity, do a shot of Habanero Tequila… It’s not the fact that it’s hot, REALLY HOT, a wet-sloppy-tongue-kiss from Satan’s daughter, it’s the unexpected pain – excruciating stomach pain to be exact, like being trampled by [...]

Backup Like Nike – Just Do It

by A.J. Wood January 12, 2009 Adobe

Today was a rather worrisome day. Not because I’ve a mountain of work to catch up on (I do), but due to my Mac Pro crashing, downing not one, but two of my external drives. Anyone who’s attended a class with me knows I preach backups, and you’re not truly backing anything up without redundancy. [...]

Apple iPhone Features Wish List

by A.J. Wood January 12, 2009 Technology

It’s almost midnight as I type up this quick entry. Quick being the objective as I’m still a bit under the weather and according to the docs, should be resting this bit of pneumonia instead of chatting late into the evening. However, I’m reminded that minutes equal days equal months and before you know it, [...]
