Friday Favorites

Happy, happy Friday, everyone!

I can hardly believe this week is coming to a close. It’s been a strange(r) one for me, mostly because I shipped my camera to Canon for a clean and check. And I’ve felt naked ever since because I honestly don’t remember a time when I didn’t have my camera with me at all.

The good news is that I think it’s being delivered today. And the good news is that I’ve gotten a ton of non-photo stuff done this week because of it, including this Friday Favorites post. Hooray!

What about y’all?

Photography

• I’m looking forward to the reading the stories in Photographs Not Taken: A Collection of Photographers’ Essays.
• TIME Lightbox pulled together silhouetted images from the month of January. And pretty much all of these images are stunning in their own way.
• A solid example of why you should check your layers before saving for the web.
• Digg’s founder interviews Instagram’s founder on video.
• If you’re a photographer and you aren’t reading A Man to Fish, do yourself a favor and subscribe to their RSS feed. You’ll be happy you did.
• I love Carolyn Marks Blackwood‘s images of birds because they’re beautiful… but they also kind of freak me out.
• Photoshelter’s Allen Murabayashi ranted this week about loving photography. Well said, sir. And I agree 100%.

Odds & Ends

• If you own a business and want to utilize Pinterest with it, check out Tofurious’ post on using Pinterest for your business.
• Honda has made a commercial celebrating the release of the 2012 CRV using Ferris Bueller. How many Ferris Bueller’s Day Off references did you catch throughout the commercial?
• Two cats play Game for Cats on the iPad. SO CUTE.
• Who’s excited for April 1 and the second season of Game of Thrones? I am, I am!

Here’s to a wonderful weekend, wherever y’all may be and whatever y’all may be doing.
