What I’m Reading This Week 04/16/10
Welcome to Episode 6 of What I’m Reading This Week. The content below are links to the various sites on the web that I found interesting and wanted to share with you from this week. They deal mostly with photography, Wordpress, or maybe even something totally off key. I hope you find them interesting as well. Leave a comment and let me know if this series is useful to you.
First off let me send a big congratulations to Jason and Kim Moore, of Jason D Moore Photography, on the birth of their son Liam this week. I hear both son and wife are doing well. We’re looking forward to more photos of the family Jason!
My job search is slowly, excruciatingly slow, making progress. I had a recent opportunity I had high hopes for. I was interviewed via phone by Eileen Kessler, CEO of OmniStudio, for an Interactive PM position yesterday afternoon. I greatly enjoyed our conversation and for the first 25 minutes I thought it was going well. In the end though I did not have the IA experience they were looking for. While I do maintain a working knowledge of IA I did not think it ethical to overstate it just to get in the door. I wish Eileen and the staff at OmniStudio continued success, if you are in need of print or interactive media services then give them a look. Also, check out my Social Media Resume and let me know if you have any positions I may be a match for.
Now on to the links…
Photoblog of the Week
Frame NOT Included
Frame Not Included is a daily photoblog, created and maintained by Erik Saastad, Inge Thorud and Jørgen Stensrud.
From their About page:
Frame not included, or Frame among friends, is a little project by three guys from Oslo. We’re all hooked on photography, and the purpose for Frame is to be sort of an exhibition for the photos we actually dare put our names on. Every day we will post a new photo, and cross our fingers for someone to like it. If not, we can pat each other on the back. We hope you will drop by every now and then, to check out our baby
