Happy Birthday to
NewsToday.com!! Like most things, it just keeps getting better with age. Interestingly enough, Decibel Dragon will be turning 1year old pretty soon as well. How cute, we almost share birthdays.
Keep an eye out next week for photos up on
A Day in the Life. I will be presenting one photo each day of the week. The 26th of August to the 1st of September. This is a great project: Each day, one new photo will be posted on the site. A photographer is assigned to shoot one photo a day for seven days. A nice collection of photographers as well, from SanFrancisco, Beirut, Vancouver, Brooklyn and many more to come.

Ilkka Keskinen, a photographer who is very dedicated to his love of water. He has been actively shooting for over 25years. For Ilkka, life without water is not life at all; he has become an expert in capturing amazing surrealistic underwater photos. Most underwater photographers are known for shooting the depths of oceans and the beauties of sea vegetation, but Ilkka's visions are created in crystal clear swimming pools. With models at 10feet down, he has created some very unique and stunning photos.
Also on the blog tip, ran into this:
International Blog Meetup Day. The official day is 21 August 2002 at 7pm. Apparently this happens every month, the third wednesday. Might be interesting, check one out in your area.
Sounds like
