 One of the toughest visual concepts to communicate in a landscape photograph is depth: the sensation that you're looking at distance when, in fact, all you're really looking at is a flat sheet of paper.

 As part of my work for Black Star, I review a lot of photographers' portfolios. Usually, I treat it as a perk of the job. I'm getting paid to look at beautiful pictures created by some of the world's most talented photographers. What could be bad about that?

 According to Mark Twain, "America and England are two great nations separated by a common language." He was right. For many Americans arriving in the U.K., it's a shock to discover that American English can be vastly different from English English. When we think we fit right in and don't stand out from the natives, it's easy to make some embarrassing mistakes. (Don't ask for an order "to go" at a British restaurant; it's a "take-away.")

At Black Star, we don't work directly with Flickr -- but it's hard not to notice the photo-sharing service's influence. With nearly five million contributors and more than 150 million images, Flickr has become the elephant in the room for any photographer who would choose to ignore it. Flickr's photo streams and groups are prime destinations for those seeking to upload their images and improve their skills.

In the days when I shot only slide film, the number of photos I shot was limited by how much film I was willing to carry and how much money I was able to spend on film and processing. Even if a client was picking up the tab, there was still the issue of how much film I felt like carrying; 10 rolls a day for a 10-day trip meant 100 rolls of film. That's a chore -- especially when you're going through airports and having to have the film inspected by hand. Today, though, you can fit thousands of photos on a stack of memory cards small enough to carry in your jeans pocket. This creates a lot of opportunity -- if you take advantage of it.

The severe weather warning sirens in my town have been going off more and more lately due to tornadoes. But this isn't what prompted me to write about the importance of backing up your computer.
