Every now and then, when photography is not about the intellectual revelation of what makes images beautiful, and why, and all the intricacies that comes with it, which a photographer fancies oneself to attempt to uncover, …comes a moment like this, when photography is simple, the celebration or a beautiful moment, forever encapsulated, and the rejoicing in that.

Vector graphics are quite the fascinating topic to me. If you don’t know what they are, they are images where the shapes and colours are described as mathematical formulae rather than the image containing a finite set of pixels with Red, Green and Blue values each. This enables one to scale the image up and down to almost any size without detail loss.
Recently I was working on turning the logo that I made for the Photographing Consciously Workshop into a vector file by tracing the PNG file using Inkscape. I ran into some colour related issues and after many days of figuring out the solution I finally reached a satisfactory outcome. So I thought I’d share the process.
If you want to follow the actual conversation I had with some of my peers on this topic, here is the forum thread.

Finally, after months of planning and then more months of implementing, customCHROME: Carpathica is almost here. Going to package them nicely and post them on the downloads page as soon as I get around to it.

CONTEST!
—–
I usually don’t do contests, but for this occasion I decided to o one. So here it is:
For those of you who do not know yet what they’re about, here’s the short-short version: a set of editing presets to embody the look of Romania of my childhood (the magical place I was born many moons ago, in the bosom of the Carpathian mountains – hence Carpathica).
To celebrate the release of these, I’d like to see them in action, not just on my photos but on yours. So from the day I post them I’ll give you three weeks to submit images you edit with them, then we’ll have a public vote for which makes best use of the presets…
…and the winner gets a free individual portraits session, to spice up their facebook profile picture (providing facebook size for all images, and high resolution for 2 of the person’s choice to print!)
More details on launch date. Stay tuned!
