Jared Rey Photography | Dallas Wedding Photographer Lisa Bettany bradford-delong.com: Grasping Reality with the Invisible Hand... "People of the Delta" Film Project by Joey L. People of the Delta is a cinematic narrative film collaborating with real people and stories from the tribes of Ethiopia's Omo Valley. The script was written with true events in mind, shaped from the collective wisdom of stories handed down from the elders of the Dassanach and Hamar tribes. These two tribes are historically known for competing against one another for the limited amount of fertile land found along the Omo River. Conflict over resources extends to every culture and country on the globe today, and is expressed with an entirely unique perspective in the film. The story is told in two chapters from two unique perspectives. Joey L. Aside from bringing back a great piece of cinema that presents the tribes in a dignified manner, the local people will also benefit from this film.

Printing Hokkaido After narrowing down my Hokkaido work through my edit process, I’m now left with a collection of images to print. Here’s my rough process. 1. Image Prep. I take each image through a final pass in Lightroom’s Develop module. Here are the questions I’m asking myself as I go through the panels. Is my monitor recently calibrated? 2. Have I set my Image Size correctly? 3. I study my work under a large diffused skylight. I print with an Epson 3880 which I love, but I’m eyeing something bigger. If you want to bump your digital printing skills a little, or you’re just getting into it, I strongly recommend Martin Bailey as a resource. 4. As always, questions in the comments are welcome. If you’ve missed some of the Hokkaido work, here are a few blog posts with some images:
Bruce Dale Social Network Analysis: An Introduction by Orgnet,LLC Social network analysis [SNA] is the mapping and measuring of relationships and flows between people, groups, organizations, computers, URLs, and other connected information/knowledge entities. The nodes in the network are the people and groups while the links show relationships or flows between the nodes. SNA provides both a visual and a mathematical analysis of human relationships. Management consultants use this methodology with their business clients and call it Organizational Network Analysis [ONA]. ONA allows you to x-ray your organization and reveal the managerial nervous system that connects everything. To understand networks and their participants, we evaluate the location and grouping of actors in the network. We look at a social network -- the "Kite Network" above -- developed by David Krackhardt, a leading researcher in social networks.

Everything I Know About Chasing a Dream y eyes fluttered open and I found myself off-kilter. Which is basically the fancy way of saying I woke up grumpy. The house was silent, my boys were sleeping, and the curtain waved from the breeze at the window, but my brows furrowed. This was strange because I'm normally a happy riser (I've been called annoying due to the way I bounce out of bed), yet I found myself in a place of frustration. I wish I could just move past this point, I muttered under my breath. Then I clamped my hand over my mouth. I swore to never say I wanted to move past a point in life because I'm destined to learn something important. So, what did I learn my first year in business? The lessons of yesteryear and the lessons I'll learn tomorrow are the most valuable part of the process...I'm slowly learning to take it for all it's worth.
Gavin Hoey Media Commentary — Callie Schweitzer How We Internet: Finding the right news among too many options: The days of waiting for the newspaper thud outside the front door are over, and it’s no longer up to the editors of the New York Times to decide the lead story of the day. The process of getting news involves more choice than ever. Q&A with USC Annenberg on the future of news: I think we’re seeing the most incredible and exciting time in journalistic history. You are what you share: The internet is supposed to be a place where everyone can be themselves and find like-minded people. Making people proud of what they share: Social media has given us a new lens into the lives of the people we get our news from, which allows the individual to stand alone. Sheryl Sandberg's Lean In: women in tech and media give their views: My best ideas are influenced by personal experiences that come from both my work and personal lives.
