Bob Boyd has the lighting down when it comes to his New York series.

New cameras, lenses and accessories open up the possibility of fresh adventures in photography. In reality though, most of us have to make do with what we've got, upgrading to new camera kit as and when we can afford it.

Joel Grimes' photography is fantastic, and I use that word in its most literal form. As Grimes puts it, "photography is not reality," and so his work is about exploring the border between photography and digital art as he creates portraits that are unlike anything else out there.

SmugMug has been mentioned before, but this time when it comes to Joel Grimes that mixes reality and surrealism. Which if you are fan of watch this SmugMug video.
