A relatively recent study says that the background noise of a coffee shop can boost your creativity.

I hate to admit it, but when I write on this blog, or any of my blogs, really, I often find myself floundering about.
Sometimes, I just keep typing until something mildly coherent comes out.  But, the better posts are the result of me stopping for a few minutes and contemplating what message I'm trying to get across to my readers.  And, although I haven't written fiction in many years, it used to work the same way there, too.  My stories always came out easier when I spent a little bit of time figuring out where the story was going.

It's been said that every writer creates the world in their fiction, even if it's not science-fiction, for their characters to explore.
Photographers can do the same thing.

So, as promised, or threatened, this month I've got nothing but photography posts for  you on Friday.

Two weeks ago, I mentioned how I wanted to do more portrait work and gave you a link to a portrait cropping guide.

Cool light techniques.

More photography links this month.

One of the many things I love about photography is its ability to shift my perspective.
But, sometimes, I need to adjust the perspective of my photographs!

Although, I suppose it doesn't have to be Japanese...
I'm talking about bento, in this case.  Since I seem to be switching between photography links and talking about Japanese food, I thought I'd just go ahead and keep that up.

I really need to start generating original content instead of posting links to someone else's work.
I'll get on that Real Soon Now, but in the mean time, I'm going to continue the way I've been going.
