Is feminism right or wrong?
Feminism is the act of a woman bettering the circumstances of other women both socially and economically.
However, why does the focal point of feminism revolve around the shortcomings of men?
Is feminism an example of sex discrimination? Does feminism represent the institutionalized use of anger and discontent to attack the morals of men as a whole by citing a few?
What are your thoughts, can anyone accept that feminism is rational if the merits of women are not themselves suitable?

Jun 22 2012: I believe in equality as far as is possible..but there will never be true equality between males and females. feminist attitude was good for the society in early centuries where womens were treated way worser than now. but in this century things are different, womens now holds honorable positions in the society as mens do. most of the feminists urge womens to be tougher, to learn to fight, to learn to "play the game" in the world like men. women's value will not be in trying to imitate men, or in becoming more like men. women are not the same as men. ..there are differences and those differences should be celebrated not criticized.

I dont really remember how it used to be
Or the way things used to go,
Before I saw your smile
Before I felt your kiss
Before I recieved your love.
I dont remember normal,
Simple life
I only know of the crazy,
Weird life I am living now.
I only know that I am so glad I met you,
That I will never give you up,
I am so glad I am on the recieving end
Of your sweet and precious love.
I only know I love my life
Now that its crazy and weird
And filled with something
So wonderful and sweet.
I only know,
I am so glad I met you!
So Glad I Met YouFor my other 1/2. I love you Jose!
I dont really remember how it used to be
Did you like this poem? Write one of your own!

This has been a tough week for me. Nothing big. Just out of sorts.
I know everyone posts about the good stuff of life. Especially pastors. But the reality is sometimes weeks don't go awesome! We don't admit it or write about it often…but sometimes you have a crappy week.
What do you do when your week is hectic? Full of disappointments? Too much going on? Not clicking with your spouse? Kids driving you crazy?
Leaders and pastors need to stop portraying every day like it's the most awesome day they ever lived….it's not reality…nor would that be any fun! Some weeks are just plain normal and even hectic.
(btw pastor…stop portraying every Sunday like it's the best Sunday and sermon you ever preached…really?…some Sundays you feel like someone just punched you in the stomach…I am not saying to throw up all over your people….but learn to be real!)
Here are 12 things I remind myself during weeks like this…..
1. Jesus is Lord…this is still true!
2. Do you remember what was bothering you a year ago? A month ago? Me neither. This too will pass. Keep perspective!
3. Bad weeks are normal. This doesn't mean life is falling apart. They are normal. What fun would life be if every week was awesome?
4. Jesus never said "perfection" I give you…He did say "Peace I give you".
5. Forgive quickly.
6. Stop and listen to the gentle whisper of God. I love to journal. It helps me sort out my feelings and thoughts.
7. Sleep.
8. Don't email or facebook things you regret…this is important..give it a few days.
9. Only vent to trusted friends. Who can you be real with? Who do you trust? Invest in these relationships!
10. Remember that person you are about to snap at doesn't deserve it.
11. Laugh. Find someone to laugh with…..laughter covers over a multitude of dispointments.
12. Enjoy your humanity. You are not a machine, you are a human being created in the image of God. You feel. You hurt. You laugh. You cry. All good.

Q: My chinchilla is breathing very heavily, sitting around and goes into shaking fits while squeaking. Can you tell me what's wrong?
A: Unfortunately no, there is no way to tell you what is wrong with your chinchilla based on the information you provided. However, I can tell you this is not normal and your chinchilla needs to be seen as soon as possible by a veterinarian. Any time a chinchilla or other pet experiences labored breathing and lethargy, it is a cause for concern. Labored breathing and lethargy could be signs of a heart problem, a lung problem or an overall sick chinchilla.
There are no home remedies to help your chinchilla, so see a veterinarian right away. Likely, the veterinarian will tell you that you need radiographs of the chest and abdomen, and probably blood work to try to figure out what is going on.

I feel weird for binging and not purging, though that is of course a GOOD THING!…but "Skinny Me" doesn't see it that way. Neither does she like that I ate far above what she normally allows me to eat… But meanwhile "Normal Me" is telling me that I even need to gain weight and that I should actually eat anything I want… (Because I need to be at "healthy weight" for my next weigh in, which will probably this week)
But for some reason I can't seem to do that, because whenever I look in the mirror I'm still not happy with what I see and I still think "I should loose some weight" =/
I'm now 127.5 lbs (height 5'10") and officially underweight.. Besides that I'm an exchange student and I really wanna finish my year. But unfortunately I might be sent home early if the organization that is in charge of m exchange thinks my eating disorder is severe enough to send me home… And apearantly that's in most cases inevitable of any mental disorder… So the first thing I gotta do is gain weight… But a part of my mind is not willing to accept that, because that part isn't happy with my reflection in the mirror and still wants to lose weight.
If you would have told me half a year ago that if I had to chose between eating anything or going home, I would have eaten everything I needed to… But now I seem not to be able to do that :(
How can I finally realize that eating is good, and eating more is even better because I need to gain weight… Or I am more likely to go home… And i DON'T wanna go home :(
Please help me?
Make me realize I'm good enough for who i am, and that that will not depend on how I look or how much I weight…
Help me?
It feels good to fit back into my size 36(EU)/6(US) shorts again though :)
No no no… 127.5 lbs (height 5'10") now that I told people about my developing ED I'm gonna be weighed. Yesterday was the first time when I had to get checked at the doctor's office. Lucky me, it was mid day and I drank 3 bottles of water before going in. So I ended up weighing 136.5 lbs ( which was already about 10 lbs lighter than my last check) but now I'm gonna be weighed again somewhere next week.. And it better be somewhere close to 136 lbs otherwise my exchange year might end sooner than I want to :(

Today I talked to the school psychologist, my real mom, AND my host mom. The school psychologist said I definitely can't wait 45 days till I go back home and I needed professional treatment asap. My real mom is now checking my food logs on MyFitnessPal and wants me to be back at 1200 kcal asap (but that easier said than done)… And my host mom, she didn't know yet… and I had to tell her that I had developed an eating disorder. I was afraid to tell her, but what I never expected was to hear her story about how she was bulimic as a teenager and needed treatment for it. So the first thing she agreed on was that I needed treatment asap. Overall, I think she took it quite well… I guess the worst part about telling my host mom was the fact the she IS gonna get in contact with my Coordinator from the Exchange Organisation that I'm with. The Coordinator will most likely contact the Main Office…and what will happen then I don't even wanna know. The last thing I want is going home early without even experiencing Prom and Graduation :(
For now my future is very uncertain… and in the hands of others =/
I hope this has a happy ending…

Today was not a good day. I hardly ate enough to survive my practice and it was of course no wonder that I almost blacked out… Today I was supposed to see the school Psychologist, but she was out because she broke her toe. Now I'll probably talk to her tomorrow. But for some reason, telling my Psychology teacher and Guidance Counseler about my "unhealthy relationship with food" didn't do anything good for my "relationship". I'm now even more afraid that people see me eat, because of what they'll think… And on top of that I had a special dinner party tonight which I could absolutely not enjoy because of my preoccupation with food. I had to eat something, cause if I wouldn't people would have noticed. But I managed to eat much less by saying I got nauseous from practice…and everyone seemed fine with that. Dessert time was killing me, because it was heaven right in front of me but I didn't allow myself any of it, afraid of a binge that might have ended in purging… I hope all of this gets any better after I talked with the psychologist, because now I feel torn between these two sides in me… and it makes me so tired…and hungry… :(

AWP 2014 & Recent Web Work Round-up
I will not be in Seattle for AWP this year, but my books will be! You can get a copy of Why We Never Talk About Sugar, my collection of short stories, at the Braddock Avenue Books table.
Or, you can grab a copy of my brand new chapbook, This Will Be His Legacy, from Lettered Streets Press at their table. This chapbook is a collection of my counterfactual biographies and it's a split chap also featuring poetry by Alexis Pope. Grab it. You won't regret it.
In other news, I've had some work appear around the web that I wanted to link to here. First, I did a month-long guest blog for [PANK] Magazine during January. I collected a bunch of "found Twitter haiku," tweets that just happened to exactly 17 syllables long. They range from silly to poignant and circle back around to hilarious. You can read the whole lot of them here. And I hope you will.
Next, I've written a couple of short blog posts for Brain, Child's web offshoot, Brain, Mother. This one, on why I don't think my son is growing up too fast. And this one, on why I refuse to enlist in the Mommy Wars. I find I have a lot to say about motherhood, which probably shouldn't be as surprising as it seems. More to follow on that front.
Stay tuned!
22 Responses to 22 Creationists' Challenges to Evolution
Because I just can't help myself. And because these people are completely misunderstanding evolution.
1. "Bill Nye, are you influencing the minds of children in a positive way?"
2. "Are you scared of a Divine Creator?"
3. "Is it completely illogical that the earth was created mature? i.e. trees created with rings… Adam created as an adult…"
4. "Does not the second law of thermodynamics disprove Evolution?"
5. "How do you explain a sunset if their is no God?"
6. "If the Big Bang Theory is true and taught as science along with evolution, why do the laws of thermodynamics debunk said theories?"
8. "Where do you derive objective meaning in life?"
9. "If God did not create everything, how did the first single-celled organism originate? By chance?"
10. "I believe in the Big Bang Theory… God said it and BANG it happened!"
11. "Why do evolutionists / secularists /huminists/ non-God believing people reject the idea of their being a Creator God but embrace the concept of intelligent design from aliens or other extra-terrestrial sources?"
12. "There is no in between… the only one found has been Lucy and there are only a few pieces of the hundreds necessary for an 'official proof'."
13. "Does metamorphosis help support evolution?"
14. "If Evolution is a Theory (like creationism or the Bible) why then is Evolution taught as fact."
15. "Because science by definition is a 'theory' – not testable, observable, nor repeatable [--] why do you object to creationism or intelligent design being taught in school?"
16. "What mechanism has science discovered that evidences an increase of genetic information seen in any genetic mutation or evolutionary process?"
17. "What purpose do you think you are here for if you do not believe in Salvation?"
18. "Why have we found only 1 'Lucy' when we have found more than 1 of everything else?"
19. "Can you believe in 'the big bang' without 'faith'?"
20. "How can you look at the world and not believe someone created / thought of it? It's Amazing!!!"
21. "Relating to the big bang theory… where did the exploding star come from?"
22. "If we come from monkeys then why are there still monkeys?"
"Birth Story" in The Rumpus
Today I'm vey proud to have essay up at The Rumpus, which consistently publishes the best non-fiction of any magazine or website I read. The piece is called "Birth Story" and it's about birth stories in general, and one in particular. In many ways, it's a follow-up to an essay of mine they published last year, "On Pregnancy and Privacy and Fear." It's fun for me to see these pieces listed together when you click on my name on the site. It reminds me how much of my life has changed in the last year and how much has stayed largely the same.
Here's the opening of "Birth Story." You can read the rest here.
The birth story must always start the same way: with a woman in pain. There's no avoiding the pain. The pain is how you know it's beginning. It's the overture, the epigraph, the amuse-bouche. You sit up straight. You stand up. You walk around. You move as if the pain is something you can twist away from, like pulling your hand from a hot stove. But this pain is coming from inside. This pain is trying to twist away from you. But first it has to come through you. First it has to open you up.

As for no discussion of gestational age - neither side is interested in that at the moment. Like it or not, your side would have to make the first move. Your side has adopted the very successful tactic of curbing abortion in bits in pieces and no one on my side will offer another piece to your side. Not until your side makes it clear that the ultimate goal is to prevent abortion of fetuses past a certain gestational age, not abortion in all cases (the platform of the Republican party, lest you forget). There wouldn't even be a problem with making that gestational age cutoff very low. But the offer by your side has to be in good faith.

Beautiful Liesby Lisa Unger
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
Elizabeth Hampton is consumed by grief when her mother dies unexpectedly. Leslie Hampton cared for Elizabeths troubled brother Ronnies special needs, assuming Elizabeth would take him in when the time came. But Leslies sudden death propels Elizabeth into a world of danger and double lives that undoes everything she thought she knew....
When police discover that Leslie was strangled, they immediately suspect that one of Ronnies outbursts took a tragic turn. Elizabeth cant believe that her brother is capable of murder, but who else could have had a motive to kill their quiet, retired mother?
More questions arise when a stranger is named in Leslies will: a woman also named Elizabeth. As the familys secrets unravel, a man from Leslies past who claims to have all the answers shows up, but those answers might put Elizabeth and those she loves the most in mortal danger.
In this sexy, fast-paced literary thriller, Unger takes readers on a breathtaking ride in which a young New York writer's good deed has terrible consequences and leaves her running for her life.

Health Goal Update for March 2, 2009
I think the scale might have something against me. Change this week was minimal but at least it was in the right direction. I'm down just .2 pounds from where I was last week. That's 193.8 for those keeping score at home. At Weight Watchers they tell you that even though the scale didn't move… Read On


text:
Moses gives commandments, Jesus gives insight into those commandments. One can follow the commandments on a formal, superficial level. One can become a righteous person, a puritan, a moralist, and deep down nothing changes: all remains the same. The old darkness is still there, the old unconsciousness is still there. Nothing has really changed; you have just painted your surface. Now you are wearing a beautiful mask. Nothing wrong in wearing a beautiful mask - if you have an ugly face it is better not to show it to others. Why be so hard on others? If you have an ugly face, wear a mask - at least it will save others from seeing you. But the mask cannot change your ugly face. Never forget for a single moment that the mask is not your face. You have to transform your face too.
Moses gave a very crude discipline to society. He could not have done better, there was no way. Human consciousness existed in a very very primitive way. A little bit of civilization was more than one could expect. But Moses prepared the way, and Jesus is the fulfillment. What Moses started, Jesus completes. Moses has laid the foundation, Jesus raises the whole temple. Those stones in the foundation have to be crude and ugly. Only on those crude and ugly stones can a beautiful marble temple be built. Always remember this: that Jesus is not against Moses. But the Jews misunderstood him, because Moses talks about law and Jesus talks about love.
To the Jews, particularly the priests, the politicians, it appeared that the law would be destroyed by Jesus; hence they were angry. And they were right too. The law would be destroyed in a sense, because a higher law would be coming in. The lower law would have to go. The lower has to cease for the higher to come.
Law depends on fear, law depends on greed, law punishes you. The central idea of law is justice, but justice is not enough, because justice is crude and hard, violent. Only compassion can allow your being to bloom, can help you come to your highest peak - not justice. Law is better than lawlessness, but compared to love, law itself is lawlessness - compared to love. It is relative, because law depends on the same evils against which it fights.
Somebody murders, then the law murders him. Now, it is the same thing you are doing to the person that he has done to somebody else. It is not higher, although it is just. But it is not religious, it has no spirituality in it; it is mathematical. He has killed somebody.the law kills him. But if killing is wrong, then how can the law be right? If killing in itself is wrong, then the law is very much lacking. It depends on the same evil, remember it.
When Jesus started talking about love, the people who had been law-abiding became very much afraid. Because they knew that if the law were dropped, then the animal hidden inside them would come up, and would tear down the whole society. They knew that their faces were only beautiful on the surface - deep down, great ugliness. And when Jesus said "Drop all masks," they became afraid, they became angry. "This man is dangerous, this man has to be punished and destroyed before he destroys the whole society."
But they misunderstood. Jesus was not saying just to drop the mask. He was saying "I have brought you an alchemy, so that your real face can be beautiful. Why carry the mask? Why this weight? Why this false plastic thing? I can give you a higher law that needs no fear, that needs no greed, that needs no enforcement from the outside. But it arises in your being because of understanding, not because of fear." Remember, that is the difference: out of fear is law, out of understanding is love.

I haven't had any problems using the nuvaring. I did stop using it for about 2 1/2 months and now that I've started again I have "unplanned light bleeding." My doctor said that it could last from a few days to 2 months. Depends on the person. My body is getting used to the hormones again. Other than that I would definitely recommend it!!!

Discussion (11) ¬
I really like your comics; this only the fourth one I've read and they're powerful and well-executed. (I started with the "cord blood" one.) This one struck me specially, since I was recently also thinking about children's memories. (I have two. Children, not memories). I broke our camera last month and have been sweating the fact that really sweet moments are going by without their being visually recorded. It makes me think of the worth of memories; the "script" as you've called it. As a dad, I think a lot about the plotlines etched on my kids' hearts as their senses take in each day's dose of play and pain, and how it will shape their perspective as adults. So that last panel struck me deeply.
I grew up really impacted by the contrast of beauty and horror in the world around us, and came out with a whole different set of image–>emotion associations than some of the ones I've seen in your comics. I was thinking about that lamp, and other things people connect with sadness, loneliness, and anxiety, and while I can of course take a sense of a transition-to-emptiness from an aged balloon, that image and many others like it bring much more positive feelings. Weeping willows strike me as relaxed and easygoing, even motherly; curved lamps are more funny and clownish than sad (maybe I have Pixar to thank for that). The floating-away panel speaks (to me) of a fleetingness of identity; a groundlessness which makes the balloon seem untied to anything solid. Do you feel like your identity is tied metaphysically to the objects around you, or would your you-ness be completely intact in an empty space, bare of color and content? There are two things this comic communicated to me: 1) when things are lost, they are lost (the balloon has floated away- it's gone forever – i.e. everything in the last panel), and 2) the state of your present is heavily dependent on your own assumption of #1. Now, on the off chance that that observation is actually close to the truth, I have to say that I don't agree with #1. I think a life-system which fills our shelves with dusty toys and other clutter (outmoded electronics, undying plastic uselessnesses, lots of favorite t-shirts that don't fit anymore) and forces a speed on us without time to enjoy those things (even while they're new) easily creates the overwhelming idea of forgottenness– the cliche of the cobwebbed baby-doll or the haunted wheelchair. It is *use* that keeps thing new-ish, and love that keeps things in use. Perhaps it's our feeling of uselessness and expendability as human beings that keeps us feeling at risk of sitting on a shelf, cobwebbed, in our old age. I hope I can instill my kids with a counter-image: of their absolute usefulness to the world around them and the solidity and weight of their uniqueness. That they have the power to make things grow again; to bring new use out of old things, "old" people. In that mindset, I feel like there's a great chance of the cooler parts of the "script" making an impression on them in the deep places, strengthening their hearts instead of breaking them.
Sorry for running on so long… It's because of your heartfelt questions that I feel prompted to communicate! I hope you can take all this with the friendliness I wrote it with. Thank you for your art, heart and voice. I'm looking forward to reading on.
oh my god, are you talking about Mother's Cookies?! That was so tragic… my mother and i mourned the iced oatmeal for weeks, but then they came back! : )
But… you're probably talking about something much more serious. Heh.

I immediately looked at my lamp and couldn't help but to pity it. It's much too bright when it's happy.
It's a tad unnerving to come across an illustration of one's own private quirks! I give balloons away the instant I receive them to avoid the heart break and I don't ever pick up a stuffed animal at a store lest I attach too much narrative to it and not be able to walk away, leaving it behind on the shelf.
This is my life! Try pointing your lamp upwards but towards a wall. That way it's happy, but not too bright.
This reminded me of hoe bummed I was when Jolt! Cola stopped being made. That was my 'cookie company'!
Hi Lucy,
Just wanted to say that I love your work. Both the images and text are just beautiful.
Thank you for articulating so many nuanced emotions so well. Your comics truly have a soul and heart.

Getty Images Grants for Editorial Photography winner, Andy Spyra completes his project entitled "Conflict in Kashmir"
In his project summary, Andy shares the following, "I first came to Kashmir in the early spring of 2007 at the end of a motorcycle trip across India and simply fell in love with the region, the people, the light and the atmosphere of this remote place of the world. But as much as I love it, I struggle with the political situation of the valley. Currently there are two conflicts in Kashmir, tightly woven into each other. The more known one is the international, atomically loaded border dispute between India and its archenemy Pakistan about the affiliation of Kashmir between the two states. The other, less known and the one I'm trying to document, is the inner-Kashmiri conflict on the Indian side of Kashmir, which is two-thirds of the complete territory."
He also shares how the Getty Images Grant has enabled him to continue his work on documenting the lives of the those living in the Kashmir conflict. "I think the most exciting and impressive stories are always those which are made out of personal interest or dedication to a country, a region or a specific issue and not necessarily the stories that have a high news value in the international media. For me, Kashmir is one of those personal stories I feel is important to tell. My work is visual documentation about how these people cope with their life in a conflict zone and my attempt to share one part of our modern history," said Andy.

Great Class Eric. Thanks a mil.
With outdoor lifestyle photography your job is to sell the experience to the viewer. You need to be able to work in all kinds of lighting situations and with a range of gear–from strobes to diffusion panels–to get the kind of killer shots that makes the viewer wish they were there. Erik takes you through a series of locations and situations demonstrating lighting, posing, and composition tips and techniques all along the way.
Get instant access to this course & more
Join Erik for a quick overview of the class.
Part of the process of telling the story of a location is including landmarks in your shots with your subjects. Erik demonstrates a few ways to deal with shooting people alongside of a large landmark.
When shooting outdoors you can take advantage of natural shade to even out the exposure on your subjects. The trick from there is to move around to find the best composition that works for that location.
Shooting subjects against a bright sun is a popular look these days. Erik demonstrates a number of ways to deal with all that light.
Continuing with the Kayak shoot, Erik talks about adjusting camera settings to get the right mix of hilight and shadow.
Shooting from a unique perspective can really make for dynamic and interesting shots of even the most mundane situations.
Shooting out on the beach in the middle of sunny day is usually the worst time of the day to shoot outdoors, but Erik has a few tips and techniques on how create fantastic shots even in these harsh conditions.
The sun never stops moving, so it is a great idea to change perspectives to get even more shots out of the same location.
Another way to get a unique perspective is to shoot from over the person's shoulder and really bring the viewer right into subject's experience.
Erik shares some great tips for using a 7 foot Octabank in an outdoor scene, which gives the subjects a lot of room to move.
Your life will be a lot simpler when you can work with the ambient light instead of working against it. In this lesson Erik brings in an 7 foot parabolic umbrella to act as a second sun to even out the light on the subjects.
You can incorporate strobes into the mix with natural daylight by placing gels over your strobes to make their color temperature more closely match the light from the sun.
When shooting against the setting sun you can underexpose for the sky with a slower shutter speed, then bring in artificial light to fill in your subjects.
The edge of the sea is not a great location for setting up a lot of gear, so Erik demonstrates how to take advantage of the high speed sync mode of your camera to use a speedlight to add a little fill light on your subjects.
Great Class Eric. Thanks a mil.
GREAT CLASS! Possibly the best one I've seen on Kelby training! Practical advice but not the same 'ole same 'ole. Very easy to understand for a beginner but not so much that an experienced user would be bored with the content. Eric is a great teacher - hope to see more classes from him. Thanks for this one!!
great course, very dynamic and informative, thanks
Excellent class. The folks in the background were a crack up but I guess that's what happens when shooting on location.
I really enjoyed this class. Erik is excellent, clear and useful information and some good tips. I hope to see more from this instructor soon.
Fantastic. Quick, understandable . Easy to watch. Fun music; creates a nice learning atmosphere. Probably the only course I'll watch several times. Not because the others are not worthy, it's just that he shows us situations that I face all the time. To the point, quick set ups. Thanks! Rob Bosley www.reluctantphoto.com
Thanks for the great course. Thoroughly enjoyed the explanations and style of teaching. Glad I found this as we're heading on a beach vacation shortly and lots of this will come in handy. Looking forward to seeing other classes from you.
Love this course. I feel like I am just absorbing info the entire time. It is positive to hear the same concepts throughout the different scenes. Thank you! ---- No, I'd keep it between us
Just finished Erik Valind's Outdoor Lifestyle Photography course and walked away with a great deal of techniques I can put to use in my work going forward. Erik did a nice job of blending technical info and practical approaches to achieve natural looking lifestyle shots. I appreciated the details he included about the lighting and modifiers as he was building his scenes. Looking forward to more great courses from Erik! Thanks!
Loved it. Erik is a great instructor! I got some really good take aways that I can use. Hope to see another course from him in the future.Thanks!!!
Another great class for Kelby Training, Erik does a brilliant job of simplifying what at 1st glance could be a complicated setup. I took a lot of great tips from this & it's nice to see more wide angle lenses used to great effect without too much unwanted distortion. All's I need now is the Kelby class of how to get the sun to come out in the UK & I'm sorted. Thanks again to Erik & all the team who put this together, look forward to seeing more from you. Rainy beach shot here we come..... JT
Wow, such a great course.
great course
This was a very informative course and Erik is a really great instructor. His explinations of how to do something are very informative and concise. I can't wait to get out there and shoot some lifestyle photography!
Does this man never make a verbal blunder? I don't think I heard an ummm or ahhhh the entire time. That aside, extremely useful course. I really liked the black scrim idea.
Great course!!! Enjoyed it very much! I learned so much from Erik. He is very good at explaining what he's doing and why he's doing it. Good description of equipment and reasoning for using it. I thought it was great how he used a lift to get that overhead shot. Great idea! I remember Joe McNally used that same type of equipment in a shot he did one time. Good choice of subject and Erik did a fantastic job of showing us how. Thanks!
Awesome course! The instructor was engaging and informative. Really enjoyed it.
I thoroughly enjoyed Erik's classes. I liked the pace in which he went through the various setups and the results proves he knows what he's talking about
What a great video! Eric has great energy and I love the on screen display for camera settings. Please share more classes by Eric.
This is a really great course, professional and very well presented course. Erik is an accomplished, dynamic and fluent presenter.
Excellent course. We travel often and have missed plenty of opportunities to do what was covered in this series (minus the professional models of course). Simple techniques and impressive results.
this course is so good I almost wish it wasn't online. This man talks a lot of sense when it comes to lighting up models, the best part of it is he does it with minimal equipment that doesn't cost a bunch. Pay very close attention to what he says and I promise you they wont be able to teach you much else anywhere.
Great job Erik. One of my favorite tips was to simply just attach a tilter bracket to a speedring to hold a heavy octobank. Look forward to the next video on here! -Jeremy
This course is fantastic. Initially I just wanted to watch it for the videos about shooting into the sun. This is an issue I frequently have. Otherwise, being a doctor, the closest I get to outdoor lifestyle is walking back and forth to my car. The thing that is so amazing about this course is that after I viewed the video about shooting into the sun, I couldn't stop watching the rest of the course. It was so informational and being a beginner photographer, I felt like the things he taught were not too far over my head which would have made them unrealistic. I ended up watching the entire course in one setting. Great job.
Very informative and lots of hand tips. Eric (the instructor) makes the course breezy with lots of example photos. There are no "boring moments" with over explaining ....just the way, I like it, aha aha! Kelby Training Rocks!
High quality content and great fun to watch and learn. Great presenter. Thank you!
Great class. This was my first one and I love your courses. Lots and lots of interesting material. Thanks again!
For sure one of the best. Thank You for sharing. Cheers
Great course I haven't seen before, thank you.
Awesome course, great information and he explained it so well even a novice can understand it. Thanks so much.
Incredible class. Covers so many lighting options. Being a photojournalist, I can take many of these lighting techniques and apply them to my job. I know a lot of work went into preparing and executing this class. It really shows.
One of the best courses I've seen on here. Valind really knows lifestyle. Great communication and posing instruction with models. It's obvious he's very experienced with lifestyle, he handled every difficult lighting situation with aplomb.
Outstanding! Thank you. Extremely informative.
I enjoyed learning about how to work with ambient light and to use the equipment I all ready have---like scrims, reflectors, and diffusers. I really enjoyed the last section on high speed sync. I'm a flash user so that topic interested me the most. Thanks!
This was an excellent course. I'd love to see more work from him as it was well explained and applicable to my needs. It moved at a reasonable pace and had a good mix of technical and creative aspects of the shot process.
Great course, will definitely be viewing this class again ...
This course has so many terrific tips that I will take with me in many shooting situations. I really love Erik's energy and how articulate he is. Great presentation! Thanks for another outstanding course!
Nicely done - enjoyed the approached used throughout this series: combined both technical and creative aspects of lighting/camera settings in a variety of situations.
Thank you for this excellent, informative and fun presentation. I have learnt so much. Erik is a very good teacher ! I especially enjoyed the music added to this presentation, even though it is currently winter down here in South Africa, watching this video made me feel like I was part of the experience in sunny Florida.

Hey ya'll! I'm not much of a tutorial person, but this was a technique that I learned from Syuzuki, one of my favorite artists back in the day, when I was 13. I memorized the technique and it's been one of the most useful things I can do on photoshop. This was something that really helped me, and I hope that it will be useful for even some of you.
In this tutorial, I will be going step by step how I take something from my sketchbook and color it on photoshop.

Award winning food writer and former Atlantan John T. Edge will return on Wednesday, May 30th to promote his new book "The Truck Food Cookbook". The new book explores the exploding truck and cart food movement across the country and collects over 150 recipes from food trucks in 15+ cities Edge visited during his research.
Edge, a former contributor to the AJC, is a five-time James Beard Award nominee and a winner earlier this month of The MFK Fisher Distinguished Writing Award, writes the monthly "United Tastes" for The New York Times. Edge also acts as the director of the Southern Foodways Alliance, a non-profit institute based at the University of Mississippi dedicated to documenting, studying, and celebrating the diverse food cultures of the American South.
Another Atlanta resident, food stylist Angie Mosier, provided all of the photography for the book, as well as collected and interpreted all of the recipes as well. Much has changed in Atlanta since Edge was in the process of writing "The Truck Food Cookbook", and now that the scene has picked up in his former home town, he wanted to celebrate the book and Mosier's contribution in her hometown.
Beginning at noon on May 30th, Edge will be at the food truck gathering hosted at The Stove Works in Inman Park at 112 Krog St. He, along with A Capella Books will be part of the convoy as he signs copies of his new cookbook.
I spoke with Edge on the phone recently, and discussed "The Truck Food Cookbook", as well as some of the things he observed in his year long trek across the US exploring the truck food scene.
JW: What is the background on the book? Where did the idea for The Truck Food Cookbook come from?
JTE: I was traveling in Vietnam about 6 or 8 years ago, with my rear on the curb and feet in the gutter, eating this great banh mi sandwich with shaved cucumber and fresh picked cilantro from a garden not twenty paces away, and I had this moment of thinking "Why don't we have street food like this in America?" When I got home and started traveling some, I saw the beginnings of what I was documenting and celebrating in the book, which is this ascendance of truck food/cart food/street food all across the country. I ended up traveling to about 15 different cities over the course of a year, trying to make sense of what is going on in those cities, and to document the rise of truck food in those cities, with this idea that our love affair with food in America seems to be maturing. As it matures, people are going to demand good food, not just from white table cloth restaurants, but good food day in and day out. I think one of the great markers of democratization of good food in America is this truck food movement.
JW: Where did the recipes come from that appear in the book?
JTE: About 75-80% of them came from the carts themselves. Angie coaxed, cajoled, and sweet talked those vendors and restaurateurs into providing us the recipes. No book pays homage to those operators, so we wanted recipes that were enigmatic of those trucks. There were some cases where the cart or truck said "no", and if that was the case, we did a recipe that was inspired by them based on my observations and Angie's observations on what they do and how they do it.
JW: Of all of the cities that you visited, which city would you say has embraced the food truck movement more than the rest?
JTE: There are a bunch of different ways to answer that. I think that, in the South, Durham North Carolina probably has the most vital scene. Probably the scene I found most surprising was Madison, Wisconsin. The city has curated a United Nations of food carts on the University Mall in that town. So, there is an East African cart next to a Jamaican cart next to a hippie vegetarian cart. I think Madison is really surprising and great.
JW: Did you visit Atlanta while writing the book?
When I was writing this, Atlanta was not a street food city. It wasn't a part of the fabric of the city then. I think Christiane Lauterbach had just started Atlantafoodcarts.com around that time. Atlanta didn't have at that point, though it now does, a scene worthy of comparison to say Portland, Seattle, San Francisco, Austin, or Durham. There have certainly been some improvements in Atlanta since then, and I think that within 6 months, Atlanta will figure it all out.
The Stove Works in Inman Park, 112 Krog St., hosts a fleet of food trucks, 11:30 a.m. – 2:30 p.m. every Wednesday. John T. Edge will be there signing copies of "The Truck Food Cookbook" at noon on May 30.
