SIAlumni.com Fall Update
Hope everyone is doing well out there! I have not forgotten about ya'll. We will be getting an upgrade, but I need to finish a few other steps first.

Here are some of the other projects that... [More]
Don't Give Up
All,
We are clearly loosing some steam on the site, but please do not give up. I am as guilty as the next and it hurts the site when we do not have regular contributions from at least a few members. I am hard at work on a few parallel projects that have kept me from the site and photography in general. But the good news is they all have to do with social networking on the web and...

Post your ideas in the comments and I'll start working them into our monthly assignments starting in May.

What to do with all those old slides and negs...
I know many of us (from the olden days of film cameras) probably have our own slide scanners for digitizing slides, but for those of you who don't or just don't have the time to scan old slides and negs, I discovered a neat website -- http://www.scancafe.com
You send them a box of slides, they scan, make standard corrections (color, exposure,... [More]

These places would be great to photograph. I've already photographed Alcatraz -- although you kind of have to stay near the group.
