    24 Sep 2009 Effectively Lighting Artwork

    What are the first impressions of visitors entering your place of business or home? Artwork is often the crucial and memorable element that completes a well defined and designed space. Your artwork speaks volumes about your values and interests. Artwork reflects your image, promotes a stimulating work environment, and enhances a comfortable living space.

    After spending time, and often a lot of money, for the right pieces of art, the works must be carefully placed or hung to best be seen and to complement the spaces they occupy. What is often overlooked is proper and effective lighting of the art. Imagine the difference in impact between an unlighted painting at the end of a hallway and the same painting artfully illuminated. In the first case, the painting will often fade into the background. A well lighted painting will become a focal point.

    19 Sep 2009 Tattoo Safety

    At one point, when people saw a tattoo on a stranger, it made them apprehensive. In today’s society, tattoos have become much more mainstream, and chances are you know someone who has a tattoo. Or perhaps, you are interested in getting one yourself. How do you know if a tattoo artist is following proper safety procedures to ensure you do not get an infection from the tattooing process?

    First of all, if you walk into a tattoo studio and it does not look and smell clean, chances are it isn’t. Walk right back out of the shop immediately. Every tattoo artist should start out with sterile supplies and surfaces. Surfaces should be cleaned and sanitized before and after EVERY procedure. Last, but not least, the client’s skin should also be kept clean to prevent infection, and in rare cases where it is required, the artist should be protected from transmittable diseases.

    14 Sep 2009 Parting Ways

    “Go back to your parent’s house” husband shouted
    I couldn’t believe ears at the words spoken with hatred
    “Dear, calm down “what is all about and what is matter
    I tried to regain composure but failed and couldn’t utter

    He was boiling for the days but not in position to hide
    He had chosen suicidal course with two horses to ride
    He was in dilemma where to go and how to confide?
    Very strange situation for a person to take a side

    Bees go from one flower to another for collection of food
    Female bees stay at hone to take care of in good mood
    What she has to do other than looking after them well
    Not fully aware that life is going to prove living hell

    10 Sep 2009 Nikon D90 DSLR Features

    Having used the Nikon D90 for a while now, it becomes obvious that this camera was designed by actual photographers, not just a design team.

    The user interface, the ability to make your own menu of most used settings (takes a while but well worth the effort) the way it feels solid yet light, how comfortable it is in your hands and the easy access buttons all add up to a brilliant consumer grade dslr camera.

    Here are some of the features that I think are the real pros of the Nikon D90 DSLR:

    Well positioned buttons and chosen buttons within easy reach to control such things as ISO, white balance, auto focus, shooting mode etc… A high resolution 920 pixel screen that is incredibly clear and brilliant, you can see exactly what your shooting in various lighting conditions. The navigation is very well conceived. You can access all the important settings in just a few clicks.
