Of course, the aforementioned chicken is me. BarCamp was a resounding success and I had a great time, but I’m still ridiculously busy. Swamped or not, nothing comes between me and my precious links:

• POV Photography - Chase Jarvis shows how to take stunning point of view photos using some reasonably priced equipment and a little ingenuity. The video is well worth watching.
• Reverse Lens Macro Photography - Brian Larter gives us the lowdown on how to take macro photos by turning your lens around and attaching it to your camera body backwards.
• Is Digital Printing Ready for the Mainstream? -Aaron Bieber over at Single Serving Photo gives a quick overview of the current state of digital printing and how it relates to the quality of a good ol-fashioned silver gelatin print.
• Lost America: Aircraft Boneyard - I love seeing photos of thrown-aside objects that we don’t consider ‘disposable’. Using creatively gelled strobes and long exposures, Troy Paiva takes night-time photos of old and gutted airplanes as part of his ‘Lost America‘ project.
• NYT on Photographer Permit Protest - It looks like I wasn’t the only incensed photographer when I wrote about the draconian new photography permit rules in New York. The article talks about a protest by a number of photographers and local filmmakers that took place last month.

I hop on a plane tomorrow morning and go incommunicado for 5 days. Posts have been pre-written for your enjoyment, including a guest post or two and I’ll see if I can badger my lovely girlfriend into approving comments.

I’ll be back in the saddle next week; try not to miss me too much!
