Beware of Invisible Cows (Kodak Blog, February 2008)

NOTE: This is a “reprint” of my blog post to Kodak’s previous “A Thousand Words” blog. I have to admit that I have lots of pictures of signs in my photo collection. Signs are great visual reminders of where I’ve been, what I’ve seen and what I’ve learned, especially when traveling or on vacation. They […]

Handmade and Personalized Photo Presents (Kodak Blog, December 2007)

NOTE: This is a “reprint” of my blog post to Kodak’s previous “A Thousand Words” blog. Latest fashion trends and hip new gadgets come and go, but photos can last forever.  Even if a photo is not the central part of a present, you can use photos to personalize cards, gift tags, and even the […]

Presentation Photo Pizzaz (Kodak Blog, November 2007)

NOTE: This is a “reprint” of my blog post to Kodak’s previous “A Thousand Words” blog. Patterns and images are all around us and they make it really easy to add a little pizzaz, visual interest and personality to a presentation (e.g., a presentation such as one created in Microsoft PowerPoint).  For example, here are […]

DIVcamp is Coming! (Kodak Blog, September 2007)

NOTE: This is a “reprint” of my blog post to Kodak’s previous “A Thousand Words” blog. I’m very excited to announce that DIVcamp is coming to Palo Alto on October 12-13!  What is DIVcamp?  DIVcamp is an unconference (aka barcamp) focused on all things digital imaging and video.  DIVcamp is open to everyone interested in […]

Motorcycle Mania (Kodak Blog, August 6, 2007)

NOTE: This is a “reprint” of my blog post to Kodak’s previous “A Thousand Words” blog. My husband is a motorcycle fanatic and for the past couple of years we have attended the Red Bull U.S. Grand Prix at Laguna Seca.  While the races may be exciting for some, I have to admit that I […]

Food as Art (Kodak Blog, June 19, 2007)

NOTE: This is a “reprint” of my blog post to Kodak’s previous “A Thousand Words” blog. Visual presentation is just as much a part of the dining experience as are taste and aroma.  As camera phones become more and more commonplace, pictures of what we eat are also becoming more and more common in our […]

Maker Faire is Coming! (Kodak Blog, May 18, 2007)

NOTE: This is a “reprint” of my blog post to Kodak’s previous “A Thousand Words” blog. [Side note:  FYI, I only received a handful of responses to my post on “Photo Identity” so far, so there’s not a lot of data to report back on yet.  Thanks to all who did reply with such interesting […]

Photo Identity (Kodak Blog, April 24, 2007)

NOTE: This is a “reprint” of my blog post to Kodak’s previous “A Thousand Words” blog. Recently, Gideon D’Arcangelo gave a talk on Active Listening: Social Identity in the New Music Economy at the BayCHI March monthly meeting.  If you listen to Public Radio, you may already know of Gideon from his Listening In radio […]

Silhouette Art (Kodak Blog, April 3, 2007)

NOTE: This is a “reprint” of my blog post to Kodak’s previous “A Thousand Words” blog. The Apple iPod silhouette ads have become so iconic that there’s actually a separate entry for them in Wikipedia.  You might be thinking “wouldn’t it be cool if I could make my own silhouette picture out of a picture […]

Pseudo Photobooth (Kodak Blog, March 13, 2007)

NOTE: This is a “reprint” of my blog post to Kodak’s previous “A Thousand Words” blog. There’s something magical about a photobooth.  You step into the booth by yourself, with some friends, or with that special someone… the pictures are about to be taken and all of a sudden, you hear that unspoken message to […]
