About MEDS by Doug Stewart (daily photo)

Why "MEDS"? / Artist's Statement

Taking photos sure beats taking any medication for happiness, any day of the year, so my goal is to post a photo every day of the year, for as long as possible. It's some happy business for sure. Maybe you'll smile, maybe you'll come back, maybe we'll fall in love and write books together. Either way, have fun.

I also run another photo series at human.dougstewart.org

Prints!?

You can order prints through emailing Doug at doug@dougstewart.org, and letting him know what photo you want in a print, what size, and whether you want it glossy or not. He'll reply very quickly and in a charming manner, and you can probably knock his asking price down to "dirt cheap" in no time at all because you are too classy for his nonsense.

Human contact?

Yes, you can email Doug, predictably enough at doug@dougstewart.org

Supplies?

Hardware:

Main setup: Canon 350D/Rebel XT, Sigma 10-20mm f/4-5.6 EX DC HSM, Canon EF 50mm f/1.4 USM, Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 II, Sigma 70-300mm f/4-5.6 DG Macro, Tiffen 52mm circular polarizer, Tiffen 52mm 0.9 ND filter, a magnifying glass, Slik 700DX Pro tripod. Always hunting for more Canon lenses.

Software:

Yojimbo for notes and ideas, Photoshop CS2, Transmit for FTP/SSH on OSX, SecureFX for FTP/SSH on Windows, Movable Type to post the photos.

Workflow (a.k.a. my 5-or-6-step recipe for photographic success):

0. I take some photos.
1. I plug camera into the computer named Reason, or if away then into an iBook named Freedom.
2. Import RAW images from camera.
3. I adjust the curves/levels/etc. in Photoshop and then Shrinkify™ them, if need be.
4. Upload to this site. Post one image before bed.
5. Archive/backup images onto my storage computer, named Ambition.
6. Worldwide FAME (I'm gonna live forever / I'm gonna learn how to fly).

Other:

I keep many other photos over at my Flickr account.

photoblogs.org/profile.

Thanks:

Thanks be unto the Lime Girl for the idea to actually do something regarding showing the EXIF data. "She is for yes. Very very yes."
