Making it Move

Would you rather view pictures that are static and just "there" or photos that show movement and life?  I vote for the latter.  Video is great when movement is what you are trying to show, but it doesn't work in a photo album.  Fortunately, there are a few simple techniques anyone can use to help pictures come alive.

Capturing Culture with Pictures of Food

What are your reasons for taking pictures when you travel?  First, I want the memories - to be able to experience my trip over and over again as I look through my photo book.  Secondly, I want to share new found cultural knowledge with others through my travel photos.  It wasn't until I started traveling with a friend who never missed an opportunity to take a picture of food that I realized how important it was to capture that memory too.
