Cellular Images Launches
With this new blog, I hope to push the expectations on how people regard the little cameras contained in their cell phones. Much like Chase Jarvis, author of The Best Camera, I believe that the very best camera is the one you have with you. And using the mantra of another photographer I follow, David duChemin, "gear is good, vision is better" I hope to inspire you to take another look at how you can utilize your camera phone to take great pictures. Using only various camera apps available for my HTC Droid Eris, including Photoshop Mobile and Camera 360, I'll be posting images on a daily basis for your enjoyment . . . can't wait to hear what you think!

Help a 4-year old fight Leukemia.
I am a firm believer that, in addition to a strong family base, it takes a community to help raise a child. So when I heard a 4-year old boy - a friend of my daughter's - had been diagnosed with Leukemia, I knew I had to help out in any way I could. So both my wife and I are donating blood - we're both fortunate enough to share little Zachary's blood type. But is that enough? Not even close!

So that's where the community idea came to me. The internet and all the social networking aspects of the World Wide Web makes the 'community' a vast resource to draw from - and this is my challenge. I want to raise money for Zachary and his family. How? By utilizing what small amount of notoriety I've gained with my passion - photography.

On the site, you'll find a choice of 10 prints. Each image is a 5x7 and will be printed on Kodak's Endura Metallic paper. Each print is $10.00 and will come signed by me with a thank you note for your donation. That's right - your donation. I'll be giving the proceeds from the sale of each and every print to Zachary's parents.

But your help doesn't stop with your donation . . . I need you to pass this around to everyone - ALL your internet friends and family. Post this link to your Facebook Wall. Write up a MySpace bulletin. Tweet about it. Shout it out as loud as you can.

I want to prove not that one person can make a difference in this little boy's life, but an entire World Wide Community can make a difference. So take a look below at the choices . . . pick one you like. Pick more than one! Pass it on and let's do some good!

PaulMichaelKane.com Relaunches
By now, you'll have already noticed that PaulMichaelKane.com has a new look and new navigation. I decided to redo the site to focus more on my photography, and less about the news I was generating. So you'll see the galleries first and if you choose - and I am always grateful you do - you can click on the News button above to see what it is I am up to! I've thrown my news archives on their very own page, which you can visit here. The Prints/Books section is an all inclusive store where you can buy stuff directly from me - or through my various publishers. I am very excited about the new site - so keep an eye out for more frequent updates to the different galleries and more products in the store! I am working up some very exciting stuff - of which I'll be announcing here very soon!

Photo-a-Day Challenge reaches 6-month Point!
On April 9th, the my Photo-a-Day challenge launched and here we are - 6-months later, marking the half way point. With the rare exception, I've had a brand new image debut each and every day with marvelous feedback from followers on Blogger, Facebook, MySpace and more. In addition to the images, every month, I've been collecting each month's body of work into a video produced by Animoto. What you'll see below is the 6-month entry. I've also collected each video and posted them all here. Enjoy!

The three categories that games are rated in Rue Morgue's "Play Dead" section are Graphics, Playability, and Shivers. Clearly these reviews are usually intended for video games, but all the more reason the IRM Foundation is proud to have dominated each aspect.

Says Andrew Lee of Rue Morgue, "Ditch the Ouija board and grab a Konxari deck. It's like having a Blackberry from the other side."
