“Best of 2010” Page Preview is Available – Suggestions and Feedback?

I have created an “under construction” page where I’m trying to organizing and distill my “favorites of 2010” photographs before posting them “for real” here. Ideally, I’d like to end up with about a dozen photographs – but I started with over 50! If you are so inclined, I’d be happy to get some feedback about the images that are on the temporary page – so take a look and leave comments at the bottom of that page. Thanks in advance!

(BTW: Don’t be surprised if you view the page once and then return to find some photos missing or the entire page reorganized.)

Tour of California Group at Flickr

As I do every year when the race returns to California, I have just created a Flickr group for the 2010 Amgen Tour of California professional bicycle race. The event starts in about a week in Northern California and travels around the state before ending a week later in Southern California. International pro bicycle racing teams compete, and a lot of big names in pro cycling take part including Lance Armstrong.

So, whether you want to see up to the minute photos from the stages of the race or post your own photographs, consider joining the group.

Facebook ‘Fan Page’ Update

Since my facebook fan page reached a modest milestone today with 100 fans, I’m marking the occasion by inviting Facebook users (and who isn’t on FB these days!?) to sign up at the fan page. Thanks!

Michael Frye’s Weekly Photo Critique

Michael Frye has announced at his new blog that he will be doing a weekly online photo critique. As I understand, it works like this: Readers can submit their photographs. Once a week Michael will select one and offer a detailed critique of the image, and discussion and reader participation will follow. You can read more at the link to the critique announcement above.

This sounds like a great opportunity for all, and Michael is to be commended for his generosity. (He is also to be commended for his recent embrace of online media!) Every participant to submits an image will gain from his or her own careful consideration of their own images, the selected photographer will get feedback by a fine and highly regarded photographer, and we’ll all benefit from reading and participating in the critiques. I’m very much looking forward to this!
