Babies are funny
These landed in my inbox today and they make me very happy. I wouldn’t call myself a “baby person” but some of Evan Kafka’s work might convert me. How come I never see these faces in babies? How does he get these expressions? Thanks Evan! Check out more of his baby images here.

I don’t know how the weather is where you are, but here in New York we’re cold and winter isn’t seeming so friendly. Check out the charming side of the season with the new winter lightbox from our stock division, Glasshouse Images!

The Photographic Dictionary
I enjoy words almost as much as I enjoy pictures. Sometimes it can be difficult for to combine the two and I believe doing so can either add another level of interest to your images or it can ruin them all together.
