For a very long time I’ve been going to write a post on how to add keywords to an image library. I haven’t because the topic is daunting, complex, multilayered and just plain hard. While I’ve been using my own controlled vocabulary to add hierarchical keywords to images for several decades that doesn’t imply I […]
Color Grading
Here are a few juxtaposed images demonstrating what all the hype surrounding color grading is about. It’s powerful stuff. Changing the entire look and feel of an image in just a couple of seconds is a ton of fun. As an added benefit, once you create a color grade that blows your hair back you […]
Reports of my death are in error
As you can see it has been nearly a year since my last post. Deplorable, I know. I have an excuse. A legitimate excuse. It’s a bit personal though so I’d rather not share it. Suffice it to say it was a medical thing . That “thing” is now a part of my past and […]

My library of textures has grown beyond all reason. There’s a new album of images like this at markhoffmanphotography.com in the gallery called “Current […]
Variations on a Bonsai Wolf
Say hello to the amazing Bonsai Wolf, Rocky. At just over 5 pounds he’s the ideal size for the blinding speed the breed is known for. Add that to his keen predatory instincts, razor-sharp teeth and ruthless nature and you’ve got an embodiment of the perfect killing machine, an evolutionary pinnacle in the long history […]
Been awhile, but…. I’ve been busy…
You know how it goes. Little jobs grow into bigger jobs that require new jobs to finish the original little jobs. Before long, you glance up, and half a year has gone by and the job still isn’t done. Well one of the jobs I’ve been grappling with is now done … mostly. My two […]
Photophart’s history lessons: Old horse-drawn wagon
This might have been the pickup truck of its day. Horse-drawn wagons like this were once as common as cars. Moving a piano required one of these. Oh, and a horse, the bigger the better. Here in the mid-west you see quite a few of these relics in people’s yards. Folks use them as lawn ornaments. […]
