Review: The HDRI Handbook by Christian Bloch

Perhaps one of my biggest weaknesses is my tendency to be stubborn. I like to sometimes think that I “know-it-all”, although the obvious reality is that I don’t. The topic of HDR or High Dynamic Range imaging has been in the forefront of my mind since I first started playing around with 3D applications many […]

Setting up my Homepage

My New Homepage This is an article about my homepage setup. This is how I generally browse the web whenever I log on. Over the years, I’ve tried to make things more efficient. I spend a lot of time in front of the computer, so I’ve found a bunch of tips and tricks which makes […]

Additional HDRs Added to HDRSource

I just wanted to make a quick mention that I added some additional HDRs (High Dynamic Range Images) to my other website, HDRSource. They were taken roughly about a month ago, but I’ve had little time from my main work to process them until now. If you have a moment, please check them out. I’ve […]

A Little Thank You

I just wanted to say ‘thanks’ to a few people who have been of tremendous help recently. It’s always a nice surprise (a surprise to me at least) whenever I find good-natured people who aren’t necessarily always looking for something in return.

HDRSource High Dynamic Range Images

My newly redesigned website, HDRSource is up and running again. In all actuality, it never really went anywhere – I just had laid off promoting it for several years as the real work with LunarStudio managed to keep me preoccupied. It’s one of the first online stores that sold HDRs and HDR libraries. I created […]

Working from Home

I’ve had a few jobs come through recently and I’ve been working hard on getting good results out the door for my clients. Combine this with every day life activities – buying fresh veggies for my guinea pigs, taking the car in for routine maintenance, buying groceries, cleaning the house, etc. – running one’s own […]

Wow!

It’s always good to hear a simple one word sentence when you turn on your computer, grab a cup of coffee, and then check your email. “Wow” was the word I read today and it brightened everything up. I’m so used to beating myself over creating artwork for people and making them happy, that often […]

The Economy and Consumer Confidence

I read the news. Of course, I don’t like to believe everything I hear. I also hold whatever I read to some level of skepticism. But I still read a lot of stories and take most things “with a grain of salt.” One of the latest headlines on the Wall Street Journal news today read: […]
