En este mundo, ninguna receta puede garantizarnos el éxito. Pero asegurarnos el fracaso es bastante fácil y podemos hacerlo nosotros mismos, sin ayuda de nadie. Hace unos años atrás leí el libro “El alquimista” de Paulo Coelho. No me gustó para nada. Su filosofía básica puede resumirse en que “cuando una persona desea realmente algo, el Universo entero conspira para que pueda realizar su sueño”. Es, en resumidas cuentas, el “tu puedes”, la visión voluntarista, ...

Mount Everest is a dump. Literally. Almost 3,000 people have climbed the famed peak since 1953 and their toilet-training has been non-existent. Last May Dawa Steven Sherpa made an Eco Everest Ascent of the mountain to raise awareness of the impact of global warming. As part of his mission, he and fellow sherpas cleaned up 2,100 pounds of junk found there and 165 pounds of their own poop. TreeHugger wrote all about it then. He ...

Not wanting to get Tinysaur to get all the spotlight, I bring you… WOOLLY TINY. Like a Woolly Mammoth. But Tiny. The pattern comes from the epilog website and the assembly was done with a pair of tweezers and a baby syringe full of Elmer’s glue. If you’ve always wanted your own mini mammoth, or just want to show off you have the steadiest hands of anyone ever, you can pick up the pre-lased parts ...

Quick Photo Tip Do not be confused by the term “shutter speed”. Shutter speed isn’t about speed really. It’s about duration of time.

In Photoblogosphere News Mostly Lisa has a great little post on shooting textures outdoors. Have you been following Brian’s article ...
