This kind of came from an idea of putting together a bunch of short timelapses into one. Play-doh is one and I have other ideas that would be too short to put together as a stand alone timelapse.
Shortcuts, if you will.
more about "untitled",
Enjoy

I’m still working through my CSS book and I’m using a Bart Simpson bookmark so I don’t lose my place. I’m working on backgrounds now, and this is where photoshop skills come in handy. I have none. To be quite honest there isn’t much help as far as books go in the aspect of photoshop for web design, since everyone, myself included, has gone DSLR on the entire world, 99% of all books are Digital Photo related. Very few help with web design…bastards!!
Anyway..on to backgrounds:
The starting point for the calculation of the background-position property of an element is determined by background-origin property:
Applying the border value, the calculations for the background images position will start from the edge of the border of the element.
Actually, I don’t have example to show you, so just know that as of today only Mozilla, Safari and Konqueror support background-origin.
Next up on the agenda is navigation. Lots of markup here.
Here are 2 quick examples of CSS designed web pages that I just think are the shit man. The shit!
CSS – PunkAss
CSS – Hedges
Also, I’ve been playing around in photoshop and Color Efex Pro and they have this filter that simulates film grain and it’s a lot of fun. Here is an example via Google Picasa 3 uploads due to me being a poor bastard who hasn’t updated his pro account with Flickr yet.

Well, to be honest I’ve combined two posts into one. I posted Salton Sea photo’s were coming and since the next project in the CSS book I’m working through is a thumbnail page, I figured I would do both.
I took 454 photo’s of my trip to the Salton Sea, and posted a quick 15 here on a thumbnail page.
Here it is:
TDP Thumbnail Page
There wasn’t much CSS markup because I linked to the previous style sheet of the photo gallery that I created last week.
Any comments are welcomed.
I usually like to post a photo with each post, and during my trip I had discussion with Steve regarding HDR, which I’m going to be honest, I’m not really a fan of, but he likes it. So I created a photo of Steve in an attempt at HDR using Photoshop and Color Efex Pro.
It’s a little wild.

Directly from the Editor In Chief:
Today is a particularly sad day for all of us at JPG and 8020 Media.
We’ve spent the last few months trying to make the business behind JPG sustain itself, and we’ve reached the end of the line. We all deeply believe in everything JPG represents, but we just weren’t able to raise the money needed to keep JPG alive in these extraordinary economic times. We sought out buyers, spoke with numerous potential investors, and pitched several last-ditch creative efforts, all without success. As a result, jpgmag.com will shut down on Monday, January 5, 2009.
The one thing we’ve been the most proud of: your amazing talent. We feel honored and humbled to have been able to share jpgmag.com with such a dynamic, warm, and wonderful community of nearly 200,000 photographers. The photography on the website and in the magazine was adored by many, leaving no doubt that this community created work of the highest caliber. The kindness, generosity, and support shared among members made it a community in the truest sense of the word, and one that we have loved being a part of for these past two years.
We wish we could have found a way to leave the site running for the benefit of the amazing folks who have made JPG what it is, and we have spent sleepless nights trying to figure something out, all to no avail. Some things you may want to do before the site closes:
- Download the PDFs of back issues, outtakes, and photo challenge selections. We’ll always have the memories! www.jpgmag.com/downloads/archives.html
- Make note of your favorite photographers. You may want to flip through your favorites list and jot down names and URLs of some of the people you’d like to stay in touch with. You may even want to cut and paste your contacts page into a personal record.
- Catch up with your fellow members. Our roots are in this humble flickr forum and we recommend going back to find fellow members, discuss the situation, or participate in another great photo community. www.flickr.com/groups/jpgmag/
- Keep in touch. This has always been much more than just a job to each of us, and we’ll miss you guys! We’ll be checking the account jpgletters@gmail.com in our free time going forward. We can’t promise to reply to every email (since we’ll be busy tuning up our resumes) but we’d love to hear from you.
- Stay posted. Although the magazine is ceasing publication, we’ll be updating you on what’s happening with your subscription early next week.
We’re soggy-eyed messes, but it is what it is. At that, JPGers, we bid you goodbye, and good luck in 2009 and the future.
