Joseph O. Holmes has been a lawyer and a Mac journalist, and he appeared earlier this year with Adam and other notable Mac figures at a Macworld Expo panel called “Holmes Brothers Live.” Joe now makes his living as a professional fine art photographer, and in this article at Rob Galbraith’s Digital Photography Insights site, he talks about his inspiration and creative process.

Extend Mac OS X's Screenshots
Mac OS X has a variety of built in screenshot methods. Here's a look at a few that offer more versatility than the basic full-screen capture (Command-Shift-3):
• Press Command-Shift-4 and you'll get a crosshair cursor with which you can drag to select and capture a certain area of the screen.
• Press Command-Shift-4-Space to select the entire window that the cursor is over, clicking on the window will then capture it. The resulting screenshot will even get a nice drop shadow.
• Hold down the Space bar after dragging out a selection window to move your selection rectangle around on the screen.
• Hold down Shift after dragging out a selection to constrain the selection in either horizontal or vertical orientation, depending on the direction of your drag.
• Hold down Option after dragging out a selection to expand the selection window around a center point.

The Quiet, Lovely Photographs of Joseph O. Holmes

Hi, Jeff!
Ha! Now our comments have turned into Facebook walls. Hi Joe! :)
Thanks for the shout out, Jeff.
Hey, it was great to see you again at Macworld after all these years (and I'm enjoying your Flickr shots).
And talking to the Macworld crowd was great — very knowledgeable group.

Great piece about an inspiring photographer - thanks - and a great example of what a good tool the D700 is - yes I have one and Joe's work is great to see.
