I gave Rhonda a 50mm 1:1.4 lens for her Digital Rebel. I first heard about the lens on 43 Folders when Merlin Mann linked to this article from 43folders.com.

An example is below. Clicking on it will show the whole set.

Poor Beff! She will have to ski while it’s snowing.

But you know what? It surely beats dealing with the “returns” crowd at Material Girls!

I made a few simple changes on the website to widen the site. I noticed that it was looking pretty narrow on an average monitor. The target size before was 800 pixels wide. I’m now going to 1,000.

The header picture was taken in 2005. We’ll update that photo in the spring.

Let me know if there are any problems with the changes, like text that’s not visible or clickable.

I had a little fun doing a tutorial on photo-realistic digital images.

Rhonda and I went back to Phoenix for an EGP Board meeting, staying at the Royal Palms once again. It’s a very cozy hotel with gorgeous grounds at the base of Camelback Mountain. It turned out cold and drizzly for most of the trip, but we still had a great time as usual.
