Think quick: when was the last time you found a photographer you got really excited about? For me, it was a couple of weeks ago, when I came across Lauralyn.

Don’t believe me? Well, have a look at the article, and think again! Of course, as [...]

Basically, over the past year, as Photocritic has been becoming more and more popular, I have been spending more of my time in making sure that the Photocritic server doesn't keel over and die a miserable, flame-filled death. Don't get me [...]
