		<title>Class in a box: Workflow</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This is the last installment of the response to the student. Just as a printer (the person, not the machine) in a darkroom utilizing traditional techniques, the modern photographer cannot make a mediocre photo better with the computer. He can, however, realize a good image&#8217;s full potential. My particular tool of choice is Adobe Photoshop. [...]]]></description>

		<title>Inspiration</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I find what turns people on interesting—in terms of art,that is.  It can give insight into what that person holds as an ideal and what images he may aspire to make.  I look for inspiration in any number of things.  About a year ago I stumbled upon the work of nature photographer Nick Brandt.  His images [...]]]></description>

		<title>Class in a box: The camera</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This is the next installment of the response to a student. Digital photography and film photography aren&#8217;t as different as the publishing industry would have you believe. Much that has been written about film photography is just as applicable to digital photography. After all, a photograph is merely focused light captured on a substrate. Your [...]]]></description>

		<title>Is photography art?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Early in my art education (read: junior year of college) I had an internal debate of sorts concerning photography as a medium.  I wasn&#8217;t entirely convinced that photography was &#8220;art.&#8221;  I saw fellow students drawing and painting what seemed like masterpieces to me.  Each piece was proof of a single, creative endeavor, completely original.  That [...]]]></description>

		<title>Slacker-say-what</title>
		<description><![CDATA[While I know many of you (all two of you who&#8217;ve visited) are sitting at the edge of your seats in anticipation of what I&#8217;ll post next, I&#8217;ve been busy as of late with the whole procuring-a-job thing.   I know I&#8217;ve been slacking.  The sad part is I have a lot of content written, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Ode to a graphics tablet</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Faun painting, originally uploaded by ryan_451. I had seen graphics tablets for sale on various sites for a while and had entertained the idea of buying one for some time.  Then one semester I audited an advanced Photoshop class and rather than buying a book, the professor required the purchase of a graphics tablet.  Well [...]]]></description>

		<title>Class in a box: Seeing</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A couple of months ago, I got an email from a student taking a photography class at Jamestown College.  The art professor had referred me to him as I have more experience with digital photography than she.  The following grew out of the response to a him and was published in Professor Cox&#8217;s column &#8220;Art [...]]]></description>

		<title>Cloudscape and bales 2</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Sometimes I will get so enthralled in what I&#8217;m doing I&#8217;ll lose track of time. This is the product of one such (very late) night. The original file is quite boring: very grey, lacking of contrast. It wasn&#8217;t until after I processed it that I really even noticed the streaks of rain. The ground and [...]]]></description>

		<title>Writing: Take 2</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have two conflicting feelings: 1) I don’t want this blog to be dry but b) I also want it to appear at least somewhat professional. I have a feeling it’s going to be Option B because, let’s face it, it takes a lot of work to be this awesome. Maybe I’ll get my wit [...]]]></description>

		<title>Welcome!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Originally I was going to fill this first post with something profound.  (Seriously, the first draft had the words &#8220;something profound&#8221; as a placeholder.)  But rather than put pressure on myself to be brilliant from the start, I figured I would set the bar low. I thought it only fitting to start out by posting [...]]]></description>
