10 Myths Debunked: 16 Tips To Shoot The Perfect Digital Photography
How to get the best shots out of your digital cameraVictoria Sorochinski. « Land of no Return » 2009
This series was shot in Ukrainian villages during the Winter and Fall of 2009.
In countries such as Ukraine, Russia, Belarus and Moldova, life in the countryside is hard to imagine. Time seems to stand still, while entropic forces prevail unhindered by the intervention of the government, or any other organization. These places, almost untouched by industrial progress, are mostly inhabited by elderly people (mainly women); all the young ones have migrated to the nearest cities. Many of these inhabitants are over 90 years old. Many of them are not capable of tending to their own farms. The state sponsored pensions these people receive are sufficient enough only to buy bread and milk. Moreover, in many of these places, there are no schools or jobs, no centralized gas or plumbing, and no hospitals, doctors or pharmacies. Cooking is done in firewood stoves, and water is gotten from wells. (more…)
Cinderella’s Chair
« Cinderella’s Chair » Collection
“Cinderella’s Chair” is a collection of chairs made by designer Anna Ter Haar from Denmark. Prostheses of glass, like a prosthetic leg, custom made for each chair. Glass is a malleable material when heated, so the glass was blown onto the chair, which provides every chair with its own unique prosthesis.
Glass however, is also a very fragile material. It is not often used for purposes of construction. The legs of glass are strong enough to carry weight though. One can easily sit on the chairs, something you do not expect when you see them.

Framing is the final touch that gets your canvas print ready to display on the wall.
For all of us who are used to seeing photographs printed on photographic paper or glossy magazines, even posters, it is a novel way to appreciate the beauty of the image.
Further, the texture of canvas adds to the aesthetic value, lending the photograph an artistic and old world charm. No wonder a lot of people across the world are getting their photos printed on canvas.
But printing on canvas isn’t as easy as printing on paper. A great many steps are involved, each requiring specialized skills. There are different parameters for getting the canvas ready, printing it on large format printers, stretching the canvas on to stretcher bars, and choosing the wrap style that goes best with the image.
Once all these steps are done, the final step is attaching the wrapped canvas to a frame.

Varnishing provides the protective coating to your Giclee canvas prints to make them last for years
An artwork on canvas is almost invariably framed without glass, unless to protect priceless original masterpieces from vandalism. This is because canvas is a tough medium and not easily damaged. Also, everybody loves the beautiful textured look a painting or a print can assume when it is done on canvas. This texture is best visible without glass.
But this is not to suggest that a canvas print is impervious to damage. Even when it is printed with archival quality ink sets, canvas prints are susceptible to damage from UV rays (i.e. fading), scratches, dirt, dust and moisture.
So canvas printers borrow the technique of varnishing canvas, with some modifications, from what masters of oil painting on canvas have been doing for centuries.
