A Muse — © Copy­right 2012 by William Beem

One Thing Leads to Another

I like to wan­der around the resorts when I visit Las Vegas. There are always famil­iar scenes and there are new dec­o­ra­tions. It’s a bit of a mix. The lobby of The Venet­ian is one of those famil­iar things that I like to shoot. I keep try­ing to find a time when it’s empty, but that’s not easy. Las Vegas is a 24×7 town and this lobby is pretty pop­u­lar. So, I didn’t get the shot I had in mind on this trip.

Instead, I found this musi­cian rest­ing on the foun­tain and a muse struck me. It wasn’t what I had in mind, but that’s one of the things I like about pho­tog­ra­phy. Some­times you get some­thing you didn’t anticipate.

Reviews for Sub­ur­bia Press

I’m start­ing to see some feed­back on the two eBooks I launched at Sub­ur­bia Press this week, so I’m pretty happy they’re being well received.

First, +Kevin Gra­ham shared this post on Google+ about a cou­ple of his deci­sions, includ­ing my Basic Pho­tog­ra­phy Tech­niques eBook. Although it was con­ceived for folks get­ting started with pho­tog­ra­phy, Kevin reminds us that some­times it’s good to find another per­spec­tive on things we know.

Next, +Michelle Hed­strom wrote a review on both eBooks - Basic Pho­tog­ra­phy Tech­niques and Pro­fes­sional Pho­tog­ra­phy Work­flow with Aper­ture on her blog, Check out her review at on her web site.

There’s more in the pipeline for new eBooks and some videos to come, so please stop by Sub­ur­bia Press for pre­views of upcom­ing titles.
