I’m trying to overcome my inertia to get going with some meaningful posts, and I thought it would be useful to start by posting some things I’ve been thinking about, which may end up as new articles. Here we go!

• Canon’s expensive “L” lenses — worth the money?
• Architectural Photography
• Ideas for Wide Angle lenses
• Ideas for Macro lenses
• Gaining cooperation from reluctant subjects (family)
• Studio lighting

For lack of a more creative title, I’ve decided to call the official Livingstudios blog “Studio Notes.” For a while, don’t expect anything too exciting, as I will be busy trying to make this thing look less ugly. I also need to figure out why I have a blog in the first place, which would be a prerequisite to posting meaningful entries. So far, here are my thoughts about what this blog may contain:

• interesting photos with comments about exposure, lighting, composition, etc.
• puzzling photography issues I’ve struggled with and how I’ve solved them (IF I’ve solved them)
• commentary about graphic designs, logos, and other commercial branding issues
• platform evangelism (I’m a Mac user)
• anything else that I feel like rambling about.
