An open response to Taylor Swift's rant against Apple
While this is now old news, it's nice to be reminded that moral causes do not exist in vacuum. Taylor Swift's open tumblr letter to Apple, re: Music's three-month unpaid trial, has prompted concert photographer, Jason Sheldon, to address the inconsistencies in Taylor's screed.

Handsome Prince Harry takes handsome portraits
His royal majesty, and the prettiest British prince, Prince Harry, takes the above pretty portrait. He takes more, too, appearing a wiz with the Fujifilm X100s. There's more at that most unpretty of tabloids: Daily Mail.
Thanks Fuji X Forum
Update: Prince Harry was visiting Lesotho for his work with Sentabale, a charity founded jointly by him and the Lesotho's Prince Seeiso. Sentabale aims to: "help vulnerable children, the forgotten victims of poverty and Lesotho's HIV/AIDS epidemic."
And for the lighthouse lovers...
I give you Ugo Cei Photography. Ugo's got loads of great landscapes in his gallery. But owing to me being a Woolf fan, lighthouses have always magneted me in. The other magnet is that Ugo outs himself as a geek. Well done, mate.
His photos can be purchased on a variety of print media, as well as downloaded.
Be sure to check out Ugo Cei's Lighthouse project as well as his other galleries and projects.

Ashtyn Joyce Trider: a new X photography website
DPReview member and Fujifilm X user, Ashtyn01, has just launched the bare bones of what I think will become a beautiful photographic narrative. The few photos on her site show a willingness to explore and create. Hopefully, she will help improve the growing base of X photography out there.
Head to www.ashtynjoice.com to see her explore.
