ASMPNorCal Forum

ASMPNorCal member Mikkel Aaland wrote a great blog posting about Chris Marker.

It is worth a read and then a bit of surfing if you aren't familiar with Marker's work.

Mikkel is a long time ASMPNorCal member and has presented frequently to the chapter.

He is an author on digital photography having written more books on the subject than I can count.

Hi- I will be going to Nepal and traveling there for 1 month. I will be trekking with a group and we will be sleeping in tents, therefore, I will have no access to electricity. I will be bringing on Canon 7D and 3 lenses, but don't have a clue as to how to handle the battery situation. I can not afford to buy a dozen batteries, and I have heard from some friends that solar charges do not work well. Any suggestions or advice would be greatly appreciated! Many thanks, Nancy West

I would like to know the forums opinion on Lightroom plug-ins for webpage generation.

I have tried TTG Highslide, but find the end result not as attractive as I hoped- that may be due to my own ignorance. Any experiences or advice would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks

Luc

This is just the latest within the string of disputes over content licensing fees. At midnight Friday, the current deal between Cablevision and Fox will expire. The amount a company should be paying for content is the debate at issue. Source for this article - Cablevision and Fox in yet one more TV fee dispute by Personal Money Store.

Because of the combined effects of subprime mortgage losses and merging with Wachovia, Wells Fargo has decided to close down the Finance Division. Only about 3,800 of the 14,000 jobs in the Finance Division can be lost. Line of credit loans and other financial products will still be offered by Wells Fargo, but within the bank branches.

Facebook Places gets a new location-based networking program to start working with. This should be great for the social site. Smartphone's with some GPS can use Facebook Places. Friends can see each other on the program. Use Facebook Places in one more simple way. Just tag friends that are with you. Places also makes it possible to discover new places you might be interested in. Privacy for Facebook is argued more hotly with this new product being used. Businesses have a better chance of getting someone in their doors when they advertise to someone with Facebook Places while that person is right outside their door. It could also be used by burglars and other criminals to identify targets. Facebook privacy settings to allow Places to be disabled.
