You've got to be kidding me....

Introducing Carlizina Jolectron, the latest Hollywood beauty.
On closer inspection, the stunning actress appears rather familiar.
In fact, Carlizina isn’t even a real woman - she’s a digital combination of Angelina Jolie, Charlize Theron and Carmen Electra.
Carlizina is just one of the entries in Photoshop website Worth1000.com contest to find the ultimate celebrity.
The entrant has combined the hair and lips of Jolie, the nose of Theron and the alluring eyes of former Baywatch star Electra.

The Single Best Thing You Can Do For Your Photography This Year
If you're into photography (and I know you are if you're here), do yourself a favor and stop what you're doing right now, go get in the car and drive to your local bookstore - or click your favorite book dealer online and order Joe McNally’s, The Moment it Clicks: Photographer Secrets from one of the world’s best shooters (Published by New Riders). Advertised as a book that has One foot on the coffee table, and one foot in the classroom. - It's one of the greatest books to come out on photography in a long time!There's a quote in the book where Joe talks about every photographer needing a hero - and Joe's it for me (and I kinda love Moose Peterson too!)
I gotta tell ya; if it was just a coffee table photo book, it would be worth it just for the incredible photos alone. If it it was just a book of Joe’s amazing stories, or the “how to get a shot like this” sidebars, or just those little nuggets of photography wisdom he gleaned from a life behind the lens, it would be worth it to get any one of those. But he gave us all four. One foot on the coffee table, and one foot in the classroom. I don’t know how he pulled it off—but he did—in a big way.
This sounds cliché, but I couldn’t put it down. In fact, I literally took it to lunch with me. I'm not going to ruin any part of it for you, but there's a picture in there that's less than appetizing. I'm reading away and the waitress comes up and says -"That's really something to be looking at while you eat!" I kept reading.
It's winning awards and zooming up the charts of all books as I type. It's already had to go back for a second printing!
Go people, NOW! Why are you still here reading my blog? (But do come back tomorrow!)
Go To School!
So here's an interesting site I discovered. I haven't had too much time to explore but it looks very good for those people wanting to learn more about photography. It's mostly beginner stuff so far, but with the promise of more to come.Take a look at Michael's Photography School

One of the things I really wanted to do with this blog is educate and pass along information on other workshops you might want to attend (and of course showcase YOUR work). I just got the 2008 spring/fall catalog of classes from the Santa Fe Workshops,(thanks to Scott Kelby) and since it’s just a listing of their upcoming classes, I guess I wasn’t expecting to see so much incredible photography, but…it’s filled with incredible photography! It’s a beautifully designed catalog that makes such great use of photography that I had to sit there with it for a few minutes, and just let the images soak in (here’s a link to download a PDF version of the catalog). If anyone is ever interested in attending one of these - let me know - I might go with you!

New Projects
Well it's official. I'm a business now. I got up early this morning to sign all my paperwork at the lawyer's office. I'm officially, Chris Barnes Digital Imaging, LLC today! And my first order of business:Well, you guys know me - I'm nothing if I don't have a new project in the works - and today I announce two!
1) A friend of mine and I decided to create and offer a stock photography site for North Carolina photographers. We're underway and I'll announce updates and releases on this site soon.
2) I also secured a .com URL - to begin the process of starting a North Carolina Photography Guild. As above stay tuned here for more details in the near future.
