FREE eBook: Every Tweet Reveals a Heap
I’m happy to announce the launch of our first ebook, Every Tweet Reveals a Heap, a children’s story authored by yours truly and illustrated by my talented wife Megan Leong. It seems like a really long time ago when I wrote this story. However at Christmas time Megan surprised me by illustrating the characters of ETRAH, arranging and photographing them in really neat ways. I can’t be more pleased with the results. We’re offering everyone a PDF download of our ebook! It’s FREE with a twist; we’re asking you to “pay with a tweet.” That’s right, we intend to use Twitter to publicize a story about Twitter.
My Beloved Painted Me
Megan calls this piece “I Like Your Color” and I’m so honored to be part of it.

Portraits with a Single Light Source
For this set, I switched off all the lights in the apartment and hung a 100-watt fluorescent ‘daylight’ bulb from inside a closet. Then I controlled the light using the closet door—my DIY version of ‘barn doors.’ I taped up sheets of wax paper as a diffuser. I tried first to light the side of the face while using a reflector to fill in the shadows (not successful as the bulb, being diffused, did not produce enough light). Most of the better photos materialized when I shot from inside the closet. Another lesson: In low-light situations, shoot sitting down to reduce shakiness. Many photos came out soft/blurry and were not as sharp as they could have been. A big ‘thank you’ to my model, my wife Meg. Lens: 50mm 1.8. VIEW PHOTOS
