Following up on the last issue we're taking a look at "The
Direction of Light" and how we can use it to create better
photographs. You can view the latest issue of CreativePhoto by going to

Blair Howard = Spam.

For those who aren't aware, Blair Howard constantly spams usenet with
this rubbish.  His site is childish and covered in ads, and with a
contact page that is permanently (presumably deliberately) broken.  And
his registrant is GoDaddy.com - any questions?  (O;

Spam = Blair Howard.  Spammer. (Forgive the repetition - just ensuring
anyone who searches on his name gets the facts.)

Oh, wow, Blair - what a revelation, what an idea - using 'photographs'
to illustrate a photography article.  Who woulda thought???? Gotta hand
it to you.

>The photographs also make it much more interesting visually.

Well, they *might* if they were any good.  Bored, I briefly visited the
'sample' (you have to pay for everything else at Blair's site), and the
'illustrative' images are not only poorly selected (here's a tip for
*you* Blair - use images with *shadows* to illustrate the angle of
light..) but they are also badly composed, unsharp, muddy, awful
colours, and check the posterisation on the silhouette!  Maybe Blair
should attend some photography and imaging courses - there are plenty
of free ones that are written by very competent people. (eg
www.ronbigelow.com).

The sad part is that Blair doesn't realise he is a joke..
