3 Sep '08: Entirely off-topic, but as the owner of this site I get to do that: Dale's Tutorial Tutorial. All you ever wanted to know, but were afraid of being bored to death if you asked, about writing non-fiction in general and tutorials in particular.

31 Aug '08: No new content here for a while, as I soak up as many rays as possible before summer disappears. In the meantime, if you're looking for something to look at, try these:

30 July '08: I don't often get to work with equipment I don't own long enough to review it, but here's an exception: ViewSonic VX2235wm LCD Review, a budget-priced photo-editing-capable 22" display.

29 July '08: Here's one problem you don't have to worry about when you visit this site: Legitimate websites face new threats (Globe & Mail). With barely 400 page views per day Daystar Visions is not a prime target for hackers. If you visit this site regularly, pat yourself on the back: you're a member of a very exclusive club. ;)

25 July '08: Today brings not one but two new tutorials: Eradicating Blown Highlights in Photoshop; and the companion Decimating Lens Flare in Photoshop.

22 July '08: New portfolio: North Kawarthas, Ontario, '08.

19 July '08: I just chanced across Tim Vitale's Film Grain, Resolution and Fundamental Film Particles. This is a very important document for anyone using film.

As we all realize the human species has pretty much taken over the planet, marginalizing other species. This is a small bit of compensation but perhaps it could make a difference. Every loaf of bread I buy has two heels that rarely get eaten. It costs me a few seconds to dice or break them up, put them in the empty bag, and take that outdoors to scatter where birds and/or squirrels are likely to find it. Caveats: no white bread, please: only whole grain; and only distribute in human-inhabited areas, not in forests, nature preserves, etc.
