I was photographing in the last days – please tell me if you think they are good:

The costs associated with throwing a wedding and reception can be overwhelming for couples, especially during a recession. One of the big ticket items for a wedding is the photographer. Couples usually pay one photographer to handle their still frame wedding pictures and a videographer to handle the filming of their wedding and reception. The sum of these two services can easily surpass $2,000 for even modest weddings. If your wedding budget can't handle this expense then there are ways that you can get your photos without having to spend huge amounts of money.

Photographing Your Wedding

You have several wedding photo options available to you if you are working with a small wedding budget. Your first option is to have your guests take photographs for you. For this option you can hand out disposable cameras to your guests and ask them to take snap shots as the wedding and reception progresses. Another option that you have is to ask your guests to bring their own digital cameras to the wedding to take photos. They can then upload their images to a photo printing website, like Kodak.com or Winkflash.com, where guests and the wedding couple can select the images to have printed out.

Another option that you have for your wedding photos is to have a friend or relative take pictures for you. This is a great option if you know a photographer who is willing to give you their services as your wedding gift. You can also ask around to see if there is a good quality digital or film camera that they can borrow for your wedding.

Students of photography also make a great option for inexpensive wedding photographs. You can negotiate with the student to handle your wedding photographs in exchange for a lower fee than a professional photographer would charge. The student could then use copies of your photos to develop their portfolio which would help them to get more wedding gigs.

Filming Your Wedding

Filming your wedding is another cost that you can reduce by enlisting the help of your friends and family. Your first option is to ask someone with a video camera to film your wedding for you. This can be their gift to you, or you can cover the cost of the video tape or DVD. If you want multiple angles then you can have a couple of friends film your wedding and reception for you.

Another option that you have is to borrow web cams from your friends and family members and set these up around the wedding and reception venues. You can then record your wedding from these various angles and also have the video images play live online. This will allow people who were not able to attend your wedding or reception to join in your celebration.

Women's Wear Daily turns 100 today and for the occasion, we'd like to take a look back at the fashion bible's very first issue, from July 13, 1910. What were some of the big stories?

• Talk Of A Craze For Black In Paris: The black Ascot trend traveled overseas (by boat) to France.
• The Coming Fashion In Hats: Milliners shall not be shunned for for using white ribbon.
• Indications Of Changes In Skirt Fashions: According to “The Gentlewoman,” the lengths will evolve elegantly, rather than radically.
• Mass Meeting Of Manufacturers Today: Members of ye olde Cloak, Suit and Skirt Manufacturers' Protective Association and the Associated Manufacturers off Ladies' and Misses' Garments got together in NYC.

The Pantheon in Rome is an unmistakable icon and marvel of engineering, construction, and design. Almost two thousand years after being built, it is still the largest unreinforced concrete dome in the world. The name “Pantheon” is speculated to originate from the many statues of gods placed in the building, or from the resemblance of the dome to the heavens.

Today's Photo of the Day, from Flickr user tysonwilliams really puts the overwhelming geometry and scale of the dome's ceiling into perspective – thanks to good use of light, shadow, and a little creative post-processing.

This week, Travel Talk is headed to Rome – and we'll be sharing all of our favorites in Italy's capital. Tune in to see all of the ancient Roman attractions as well as a few lesser known spots & surprises…

Hace 3 anos que mi familia ha sido parte de esta pagina que es www.myfamily.com , que es una pagina para que estés en contacto con tu familia. Realmente yo no estaba interesado en eso por supuesto porque era un estudiante de universidad que tenía otras cosas que hacer.

Es una manera muy fácil y cómoda de compartir archivos.

The BlackBerry 9800 got its most vivid picture yet through details from a new Chinese hands-on with the phone. Besides looking considerably better than in earlier photos, touchscreen slider is due to get 512MB of RAM and will definitely drop SurePress in favor of touch alone. Its processor isn't known but is likely to be faster to handle BlackBerry OS 6.0.

RIM's new design was already known to have a 5-megapixel camera, 802.11n Wi-Fi, GPS and multi-touch input. It's already known to be headed to AT&T, but there weren't any signs with the latest scoop that the 9800 would reach T-Mobile or international carriers just yet. All major Canadian and European carriers are very likely targets. [via CrackBerry]

Guys, you’re over-complicating everything.

1) Click on your start menu
2) Select “My Computer”
3) You should see “My iPhone” on the screen. Open it by double clicking.
4) Double Click the “Internal Storage” folder. Then the “DCIM” folder.
5) Finally Double click the “100 Apple” folder.

You’ll see every photo you’ve ever taken. Now all you have to do is drag and drop the ones that you want into the folder that you use for pictures on your computer.

The process seems long. But that’s only because I over explained. All you’re doing is going to my computer, and then opening up the folders until you get to all of your pictures.

It’ll take you 30 seconds..max.

Hope that helps,
~David

It just doesn't appeal to me one bit. I don't know. Maybe it's the fact it follows the 9700/storm2 styling as opposed to the Bold 9000/Bold 9650 stlying with it's curved aluminum etc…

What I really don't like is the USB placement near the left of the keypad. Also, Don't like the fact that the keyboard seems to be the 9700 keyboard and not the superior 9000 keyboard which I'm sure can easily fit.

Also, why the smaller 1350 battery? A touchscreen device like this needs all the battery power it can get and should at least use the same 1550 one as the bold 9000/9700.

I taken a lot of Photos in the last months – please tell me what they tell you:

Like Father, Like Son. That's the title of the latest 20-track offering from the New Orleans-bred rap alliance called the Cash Money Millionaires. The group was co-founded by 37-year-old Bryan “Baby” Williams, who also goes by other multiple aliases, including “The Birdman” and “#1 Stunna”.

The actual “baby” of the Cash Money conglomerate is a guy named Lil' Wayne, who, at 24 years old, was the youngest member of the Louisiana-based label. Lil' Wayne (nee: Dwayne Michael Carter) came into much prominence in his own right as an artist, and has been credited with possessing an excellent lyrical cadence that has driven his record sales well into the millions.

But their rhyming skills aren't what has landed Lil Wayne – who also goes by the monikers of “Birdman, Jr.”, “Weezy F. Baby”, “Weezy (something unprintable) Baby” or “Tha Carter” – and the real Baby Baby on the tongues of multiple hip-hop heads as of late.

What has set the email boxes abuzz is a photograph of Lil' Wayne and Baby planting a kiss smack dab on one another's lips. Immediately, the machismo-filled world of hardened rappers and wannabe rhymers explained away the image as something doctored or Photoshoped, reasoning that manly heroes like Lil' Wayne and Baby would never attempt such a move.

Yet recently, Baby finally addressed the firestorm of controversy in an interview with DJ Uptown Angela on Q93, a Clear Channel station in New Orleans, and admitted that the photo only expressed the real father/son relationship that exists between Baby and Lil' Wayne.

“Before I had a child, Wayne and all of them were my children, you heard me?” Baby said, using the same colloquialisms often spouted by other New Orleans native sons like Master P and Juvenile.

“Wayne to me is my son – my first-born son – and that's what it do for me,” Baby told Uptown Angela. “That's my life, that's my love and that's my thing. That's my lil' son. I love him to death.”

Others question whether or not the photo of Lil Wayne kissing baby is a fake move to drive up the controversy quotient for the “Like Father, Like Son” album, or if the photo surfaced from a former Cash Money brother-turned-rival “Gillie The Kid”, who has reportedly taken credit for the release of the much circulated pic.

“Haters – that's just life. I don't even trip off that,” Baby surmised about all the backlash. “I go to the bank in the morning. I can go buy whatever I feel like. So, I don't even set trip off that,” Baby said. “Can't nobody live my life, but me and I don't try to live nobody else's life.”

The final hammer has just fallen at the 17th WestLicht Photographica Auction in Vienna, Austria, and there's a new "World's Most Expensive Camera"—an 1839 Daguerreotype Giroux (above) was sold for €732,000, premiums included (approximately $899,000 and £622,000 at today's exchange rates). It is the most ever paid for a camera. (Alphonse Giroux was the brother-in-law of Louis Jacques Mandé Daguerre, inventor of the Daguerreotype—and generally credited as the primary inventor of photography, although the full story is more interesting. Note Daguerre's signature on the camera's label—click on the image to see it larger.) WestLicht expert Michel Auer stated that all other Giroux cameras are in public museums.

Several rare Leicas also achieved good prices at the sale, including #15 of the "0 Series" M3 prototypes—a rare perfect survivor from among 65 M3 prototypes produced, many of which no longer exist—which sold for €130,000 ($160,000, £110,000) exclusive of premiums. (With the lens I just wrote about the other day.)

Brian Smith, USA, 1959, is most known for his celebrity portrait photography. When looking at his collection we see a vast number of Hollywood stars portrayed by Smith. Recently he has been working on a project called Art & Soul. Portraits of celebrities with personal notes on how exposure to arts positively impacted their lives. These photographs will be collected in a coffee table book and was already presented to the White House to lobby for more funding for the arts and art education.

Times staff writer Zohreen Adamjee interviews photographer Gary Friedman  (top) and reporter Nathan Olivarez-Giles about the photographer-reporter dynamic on a project. Gary was shooting pictures in Jay Leno's garage for Nathan's story on 3-D printers.

Deep inside each of us, there is something that makes us want to be remembered. Some people want to leave a legacy behind by doing good works. Many will settle for capturing memories on print (or even digital media as the case applies these days). While there are a few people who would rather not have their photos taken, they are really not that many, are they?

Photos are even more essential for special occasions such as weddings. If you are in the Surrey, UK area, you might want to pay a visit to the blog Chris Mann Photography – wedding & portrait photographer – Surrey UK. Here you’ll read about and see the work of talented photographer Chris Mann. If you are in the market for a photographer, you will definitely appreciate what Chris can do for you to preserve those memories that you won’t ever want to forget.
