Happy St. Patrick's Day! Some assignments for you

Happy St. Patricks Day's to everyone Irish...and those who aren't!
In honor of the Emerald Isle, how about some green/St. Patrick's Day themed assignments?

Turns out photography apps are just as vulnerable to the Harlem Shake craze as schools, TV hosts, offices, sports teams, etc are...and my Photography Assignment Generator app was leading the way!
I hope you enjoy it! There is also a behind the scenes video below the jump!

Grand Manan 2013 Photography Workshop Details!

Here are the details on this year’s Grand Manan Photography Workshop running June 27-30th!
Grand Manan, named by Readers Digest as one of the world's 7 best small islands, is a beautiful island full of photographic possibilities! The fishing villages, lighthouses, wharves and boats. Beautiful sunrises and sunsets. Amazing shorelines. A wide array of geological features-cliffs, rocks, sandy beaches. Early summer wildflowers. Being a maritime island, the weather can be unpredictable, which can provide some interesting challenges, but also some amazing opportunities!
View some amazing photography from previous workshop participants here: http://www.learnphoto.ca/grandmanan/
Looking forward to another great trip with some great people. If you have any questions, do not hesitate to contact me!

Love is all around us...so photograph it!

With valentines day approaching, figured I'd hand out some assignments on the theme of love. These are going to be added to the updates in the app for a whole new HOLIDAY/SEASONAL category!

How About A Photo Scavenger Hunt...In Space!

As many of you know, Canadian astronaut Commander Chris Hadfield has been using Twitter to share some of his amazing shots he is taking during his time on the International Space Station.
He's got a unique view on the Earth, and the images are spectacular!  You should bookmark his Tumblr page.
If you haven't been following him on Twitter, he's @Cmdr_Hadfield

It's been great how he has been interacting through social media and sharing with Canadians.
For something fun, Canadians have been asked to take part in a photo challenge to add an image of Colonel Hadfield in his space suit by the Canadian Space Agency.

Colonel Hadfield himself has challenged some of his twitter followers to caption some of his great images, or use photoshop on them.

While I doubt he would have time for it, I thought it might be interesting to offer HIM a photo challenge or two.

Started a 365 Photo Challange On January 1st?

 

Along with New Year's resolutions, of the things that usually happens on January 1st is that many photographers begin a challenge to take at least one photograph a day.
And like many New Year's resolutions, it's something that many don't finish!
I thought I'd give some tips on keeping up with that challenge and throw a couple of assignment from my app out there to help you out!

How You Can Help Spread The Word About The Apps!

Hello everyone! I am excited to announce the launch of my Photography Assignment Generator apps for iPad! Get them on the app store here!
As was the case with my first launch, I need your help to get these apps out there and up the lists.  If I can get into the top 10 lists, it will be huge exposure!
I will again be offering random prize draws to try to thank you for this help.  I will be offering 5 $50 certificates towards courses.  Even if you won last time, you name will go in again. If the app goes big, I will add some better prizes hopefully!
