1 November, 2014 – Luminous Endowment Grant Applications

01 Nov

 

As a visitor to this site you are one of over a million people each month who visit here from all over the globe. We share a common passion for photography.

But you may not know that a few months ago Michael Reichmann created a new not-for-profit called The Luminous Endowment for Photographers. The Endowment’s purpose is to fund photographic projects worldwide. Projects by photographers like you.

Our first grant period has just come to a close. Here are links to the applications received; a total of one hundred and thirty two for five different grants. There are some very exciting projects seeking funding, and you may enjoy reading about them.

80 Luminous Landscape Grant applications

41 M. Reichmann Grant applications

5 Mylo Grant applications

4 Lenswork Grant applications

2 N. Kitto Grant Applications

The number of applications is very satisfying. I wish that we had more grants and more money to give, But I must say that I am disappointed in the donor support receive thus far. The Luminous Endowment for Photographers will only thrive if it is support by photographers like you.

Please consider making a donation and receiving a beautiful 400 page book by Michael Reichmann as your reward for giving. These books will make fantastic Christmas presents!!

The winners of these grants will be announced before the end of November, and a new grant period will commence on December 1.

From the Sublime to The Ridiculous

I have always had a great respect for Leica the company as well as their products. Long-time observers will also note that in addition to their "normal" series of camera models, from time to time Leica has released special editions. Cameras with blue alligator leather and gold trim, for example; usually for the Asian market.

But today Leica announced a new camera, the "Leica X “Edition Moncler”, which even surpasses Hasselblad and their horrendous Lunar and Stellar models in its display of bad taste.

I don’t know what else to say. I hope that they sell a boatload of these fashion accessories because if it helps Leica’s bottom line they’ll have more money for engineering and development. But really, Dr. Kaufman. Can dreck like this this be released with a straight face? Hasselblad has the excuse that it is currently run by venture capitalists who haven’t a clue about the photographic industry. But Leica? Come now. This is 2014. Let’s leave tacky co-branding behind (no matter how lucrative) and instead embrace a new era, where Leica thrives based on its product excellence. – Michael Reichmann

Windows 7 – Force Notepad or Other Applications to Always Run Full Screen

16 Oct

Tired of your Windows 7 applications not taking up the whole screen?

Applications in Windows 7 run as … well .. windows. They don’t have to take up the full screen, allowing you to view the contents of multiple folders or applications simultaneously. You can move windows around, resize them, minimize them, etc.

However, there may be some applications that you would rather have take up the whole display whenever you start them. For example, if you open Notepad you would rather have the whole screen available for you to edit data – the same with Microsoft Excel or Microsoft Word. Or, perhaps you have a smaller monitor and need the full display every time you open up a web browser. Here’s a tip that works with most applications….
