Sara Lando is back with two follow-up posts from her earlier series on photographing people. Today: What it's like being on the other end of the lens.

By Sara Lando — When I was living in Los Angeles working on my graphic novel project, I received an e-mail from some guy wanting to take my picture.
On a daily basis, I’d rather be covered in spiders while raccoons gnaw at my feet (just like everybody else), but Los Angeles based photographer Charlie Chipman really seemed a nice person. And after googling his work and making sure he actually wasn’t some GWC with a portfolio full of naked girls biting a finger, I agreed to meet him over cake. I like cake. Read more »
Windows 8 will attempt to defragment current and newly-connected drives on a schedule – learn how to turn this off.
By default, Windows 8 will attempt to defragment, or optimize, your hard disks and partitions every week, an often useful tasks that can speed up your computer by moving data around.
You might determine that certain external hard disks should not be optimized on a schedule, instead choosing to optimize them on an as-needed basis. Also, defragmenting a solid state drive is not recommended and can actually shorten its lifespan.

If Picasa does not prompt you to confirm removing a photo from the album or deleting it from disk, turn these warnings back on.
Depending on your configuration, Picasa should notify you before removing a photo from the album or deleting it from the disk. The warning dialog (as long as you read it!) asks if you are absolutely sure before performing the selected operation. Especially in the case where your Recycle Bin is disabled, when you delete a photo, it may be gone forever. File recovery software may help, but is no guarantee.
In some cases, however, the warning dialogs may not appear.

In this case, later deleting a file from Picasa will occur immediately and without warning. If you have experienced this behavior once and want to help ensure it does not happen again, do the following:…

This 60-second image enhancement & retouch shows how just a few changes can make a big difference an image. Though Sagelight has the Skin Smoothing retouch feature, this was not needed here. I added a soft-focus and the enhanced the contrast with the Dodge and Burn Brush. The was smoothed by the soft glow, and then sharpness was added back in via the contrast I added with the soft glow. I went especially contrasty in this picture, as her black jacket and hair, combined with the pink stripe of her hair complemented by her lips of the same color; all this made me want to create a very stark image to highlight her beautiful face — and that look! For an example of more skin smoothing and retouching, see the “Sarah Palin Newsweek Cover” retouch/skin-smoothing 1-minute video I posted. See the annotations in the video
