Must-See Digital Photography Websites

By Dave Johnson, PCWorld    Feb 6, 2012 9:06 AM

We all have our favorite websites for those subjects that are near and dear to our hearts. There are sites I visit for tips on playing drums, for example, as well as improving my fiction writing. But what of digital photography? Obviously, you already read Digital Focus. And while you're here at PCWorld, you might also check out the monthly Hot Pic photo contest slideshow and check in on the latest camera reviews. But what's going on elsewhere on the Internet, you ask? Great question. Follow along while I take you on a tour of some of my favorite online resources.

Digital Photography Review

If you're shopping for a digital camera, there is no question that Digital Photography Review, known more commonly just as dpreview.com should be on the list of sites you visit. No other site is quite as thorough in its analysis of cameras, and it has just about the most complete library of reviews you'll find anywhere--for both cameras and lenses.

Digital Photography School

Digital Photography School has a lot of useful information, like tips and tutorials, recommendations about camera equipment, and photos and content shared by other readers.

Photoshop Disasters

Sort of like Cake Wrecks and Awkward Family Photos, two other favorites of mine, Photoshop Disasters is a hilarious collection of photos from around the world that include ludicrous photo editing errors--like people with extra limbs, objects that mysteriously float in space, and more. It's always good for a laugh.

National Geographic

After you spend a little time looking at the worst photos on the Web, be sure to check out some of the best. National Geographic's Photography section is a welcome pit stop for me once a week or so. The site has gorgeous images from around the world, with galleries, desktop background downloads, and a Photo of the Day that's updated, well, daily.

Photojojo

I love Photojojo! This quirky little site is chock full of photo projects and tips unlike anything you'll find elsewhere on the Internet. Click over to the Newsletter tab to find advice on subjects as diverse as improving your Facebook Timeline to making DIY photo wrapping paper to turning photos into works of art by doodling on the prints. Photojojo also sells a line of clever gadgets, like an inexpensive ring flash, an iPhone mount for your SLR lens, and a thermos shaped like a camera lens.

Photography Magazines

Finally, I should point out that there are a slew of digital camera and photography magazines out there, and many of them have excellent Web sites. Not sure which ones to browse? Here are my top picks:

How to Create iBooks without using iBooks Author

When iBooks Author was announced a few weeks ago, users hoped it would make it easier to publish your work to the iBook Store. However, once those users delved into the EULA, it became clear that to get any exposure outside of Apple's own store, one would have to use a different method of publishing. Fortunately, there are other options. Read on to find out how you can publish an e-book without licensing restrictions.

What You'll Need:

>> Pages '09 or higher
>> Sigil

Creating Content

In either Pages '09 or Sigil, you will be able to use a What You See Is What You Get (WYSIWYG) editor to create your book content. Mark up the pages exactly as you want them to appear when you export the ePubs. We'll fill in the ePub metadata information when we begin the export process.

Exporting ePubs in Sigil

Before we export a book in Sigil, we need to set the Metadata for the ePub file. This include the book name, author name, and a few other basic items. To edit this information, click Edit > Meta (or press Fn + F8). You can click the "More" button to add even more basic metadata including ISBN, etc.

Once you have inserted the appropriate metadata, click File > Save As to begin the export process. Type in the name of your book, and ensure that the .ePub file type is selected in the drop-down menu.

Exporting ePubs in Pages

To export ePubs in Pages, click File > Export. From the Export dialog, select the ePub tab and fill in all of the necessary metadata. You can select the option to have the first page of your document become the cover of the ePub book. When you're done, click the Next button, select a save location, and click the Export button.

Adding a Custom Cover to Your ePub

If you decide later that you want to have custom artwork for the cover of your ePub book, you can add it in iTunes. Simply import your book into your iTunes library, then right-click on it and select "Get Info."


In the Get Info dialog, click the Artwork tab, and paste in any image that you wish; or click the Add button to navigate through your hard drive. When you click OK, iTunes will add the artwork to your ePub book.

In Los Angeles, lifting up the fatherless - George F. Will inThe Washington Post (excellent article)

Lifting up the fatherless

By , Published: February 3

LOS ANGELES

The worst day of Sugar Bear’s 55 years was one of the days — there have been many of them — when he got out of prison. In the early 1990s, in a prison where people whose sentences have ended and are being released see those whose sentences are just beginning, he saw one of his sons coming in.

Generational recidivism is not unusual in Sugar Bear’s world of fatherlessness. His son, who was convicted of selling drugs, is still incarcerated because he has not been a model prisoner. He is an apple that did not fall far from the tree.

Sugar Bear — few call him Robert Lewis Jackson — was a precocious lawbreaker. His first arrest — “for GTA” (grand theft auto), he explains — involved a 1959 Chevy El Camino. He remembers that it was orange. He pulled off the freeway, into a gas station, and climbed down from the vehicle. The police who apprehended him there were startled. He was almost 5.

Really. LAPD records confirm this. He drove the El Camino by sitting on a large pillow so he could see out the windshield and using a long stick to work the pedals.

Born to an unmarried, mentally ill prostitute, he acquired his interest in driving from his grandfather, who would drive around the block with Sugar Bear in his lap. Not until Sugar Bear was 25 did he learn that his grandfather was his father, too, having had a sexual relationship with Sugar Bear’s mother.

Sugar Bear grew up mostly on the streets, episodically drifting into and out of the care, such as it was, of various female relatives. He kept moving on because one relative was beaten to death in an alley, another was killed by a shotgun blast and another had Drano poured in her eyes for reasons Sugar Bear does not remember. He supported himself gathering discarded bottles for their deposits and cadging hamburgers and peanut butter sandwiches from sympathetic strangers.

His life in the nation’s entertainment capital included the exciting night of Dec. 11, 1964, when he was outside the motel when singer Sam (“You Send Me”) Cooke was fatally shot. Sugar Bear was 8.

Although he has never been married, he has five children. He has been shot only once. He says he “did juvenile time” but managed, largely because he was an athlete, to graduate from high school. After that, he was incarcerated five times, for sentences ranging from six months to 11 years. He says he was implicated in “a 187” — murder of a corrections officer — but was exonerated. Then his life’s gyrations intersected with some benevolent institutions.

In 1965, immediately after the Watts riots that announced to a largely oblivious nation the volatility of some pockets of social regression, a UCLA undergraduate, Keith Phillips, moved into this devastated section of the city of angels. Now 65, Phillips is the reason why World Impact, his creation, is a presence in 13 of America’s most troubled cities, such as Newark and East St. Louis. Its focus is on fatherlessness and the social pathologies that flow from it.

This is the preoccupation of Ken Canfield, 58, a Kansas State Ph.D. who, until five years ago, headed the National Center for Fathering in Kansas City. He then moved here to help Pepperdine University develop a Center for the Family, and he now labors with World Impact living among the city’s most troubled people. Canfield acquainted Sugar Bear with Psalm 68, which speaks of God as “father of the fatherless” who “setteth the solitary in families.” For people like Sugar Bear, people with holes in their souls never filled by the love of fathers, Canfield says religion offers the “spiritualization of fatherhood”:

“If you don’t have the calm self-respect that a father gives, your passions go sideways. For a number of men, their passions become sexualized as they look for comfort and affirmation of their manhood.”

On a recent day, Sugar Bear, a burly, cheerful survivor, was wearing a windbreaker bearing the logo of the Union Rescue Mission. He works there, helping provide services to, among others, a small portion of L.A. County’s 50,000 homeless, 30 percent of whom are under 35. Bailing an ocean with a thimble? Perhaps. Still, Phillips, Canfield and Sugar Bear, this unlikely American trio, exemplify a very American approach to social regeneration: one by one, from the inside out.
