  • A question for the digital photographers out there

    As anyone who has done any decent amount of photo editing on their computer knows, getting the colors and brightness just right can be a difficult task.  Speaking for myself, I find it very frustrating to get the image looking good on my main monitor, but when I slide it to one of the others, it loses its appeal. 

     So I’m wondering if any of you have ever used one of those monitor calibration pieces of hardware, such as the Spyder and others like it.  Do they work?  Is it worth it?  Any other recommendations?  I’m using 4 LCDs, no CRTs.

    I have tried software based ones (like Adobe Gamma) but often feel that it ends up being sooo subjective that my eyes want to pop out of my head. 

    Looking for some advice…

  • An Open Letter to Jessica Long

    The following is an email I sent today to Jessica Long, Justin’s wife.—

     Dear Jessica,

    Are you familiar with the Christmas story A Charlie Brown Christmas? Do you remember the tree in the story? Everyone but Charlie Brown hated it, and they hated him for getting it. But Charlie ignored all of the hatred and treated it with love and compassion. If you recall the ending of the story, everyone came around and loved the tree. It was truly a great story.

    Now, I realize that you have come to love the POD Tree. But seriously, it’s the POD Tree. Not the Booth Tree. Give it back.
