The fascination with infrared photography has been around for a long time.

His latest releases add to the already incredible artistic inventory he has made available to photographers and graphic artists alike. Just what are Actions? Simply put, they are scripts or a series of steps to obtain a certain result. If you were to create your own Action in Photoshop you would use the...
A few years back when all these digital doings got started I was chatting with some photographers about how having images as information would affect our work.
