Thursday Resource Round-Up // 499th Post!
November 6th, 2008
I usually do this on Fridays. That is to say I used to. ‘S been a while.
Gavin Gough posted a guest article over on Matt Brandon’s The Digital Trekker blog, click HERE to read it.
While we’re on the topic, I will be discussing the Illusion of FREE on Matt’s blog tomorrow – it’s a crucial starting point in your thinking if you want to shoot for NGOs for a living and not go bankrupt. Click HERE to head over there.
Rounding out the theme of guest blogging, my friend RC posted a great article on Scott Kelby’s blog this week – check it out HERE.
In other news – it looks like Canon is on target to ship the 5D Mk2 and accessories for end of the month. This is good news for those of us waiting, cause, oh, say, one of our other cameras died.
The POGO Giveaway contest has been pulling alot of traffic to this site, and the comments and emails just confirm for me that ZINK and Polaroid are onto something great. Deadline is tomorrow, the 7th of November, and I will accept comments/entries that are posted up to midnight, Vancouver time (GMT-8). Go to the post and leave a comment to enter (read the rules first) – HERE.
The VISION COLLECTIVE launched this week and I’m thrilled with the attention it’s getting. It’s becoming a nice gathering place for humanitarian and world photographers, along with others. If you haven’t checked it out yet, please do. We’d love to have you on board and part of the discussions. Learning is an organic process that happens best in relationships when we can draw from the well of others’ experience. Check it out HERE.
This post marks my 499th post. The next one rolls over 500. When I first started this I worried I’d run out of things to say. And then I started making an effort to post daily during the week – it’s amazing I don’t just completely dry up. Anyways, thanks for being with me on the adventure. A writer is nothing without readers, a teacher needs students. Y’all are a huge part of my life, and I’ve met so few of you. We should get together for a week sometime, plan a Pixelated Image get together. Say, Guatemala?


I think I crashed the party a bit late; so I missed many of those 499 posts. However, the hundred plus that I have read have kept me coming back. When I have time to read only one blog (too often) yours is the blog I read. It’s the top of the list.
Congratulations for tomorrow’s 500 milestone. I look forward to the next 500.
Congratulations to us readers for sticking around… kidding, great job. It is amazing that you have posted so much and with such legitimate content. We are all learning.
How about Cambodia or Indonesia for the get together. Oh course Guatemala is also incredible.
Count me in on that getaway! I’ll be in Guatemala in about August next year, so that would be perfect
Thanks for all the blogs David.
I’d love the getaway but sadly am a long time off getting the funds up but, until then, is it ok if I lift your VisionCollective.jpg for some linkage on my own site? Not that it’ll get you a lot of traffic lol, but I always like to support something good on principle, irrespective.
Guatemala next summer? I’m in
Your going to need a HUGE hat to place all those entry names in. What a great experience for the winner winner chicken dinner (or pogo winner)
