From my days of being on staff with Cru I know this can be a very fruitful time in fundraising. I spent many hours writing letters and stuffing envelopes between Thanksgiving and the end of the first week of December. … Continue reading Photo Ideas for Your End-of-Year Fund Appeal (Guest Post)
It’s that time of year again when turkey and cranberries top our plates while friends and family fellowship at our tables. And while we speak to one another with words of thanksgiving, we remember the many blessings we have been given. Even our blogs, tweets and Facebook posts reflect the attitudes of our hearts with messages that communicate the magic of these moments. Then before we know it, not only do our lives overflow with thanksgiving, but also with Christmas festivities such as trimming our trees and decking the halls. So why not make the most of this holiday season by not only decorating our homes, but also decorating our blogs? Continue reading “Pretty Your Posts”

In my previous post, I discussed the concept of shutter speed and the basic settings to use. Normally, one would use a fast shutter speed such as 880, or 1000 or more, for fast-moving subjects.

Here’s an excerpt:
Four years ago, Cooksey was a walking — actually, barely walking — collection of health risks. He was obese, lethargic, asthmatic, chronically ill and pre-diabetic. The diet advice he was getting from medical and other sources was, he decided, radically wrong. Rather than eat a high-carbohydrate, low-fat diet, he adopted what he and other enthusiasts call a Paleolithic diet, eating as primitive humans did — e.g., beef, pork, chicken, leafy green vegetables. Cooksey lost 75 pounds and the need for drugs and insulin. And, being a modern Paleo, he became a blogger, communicating his dietary opinions.
When a busybody notified North Carolina’s Board of Dietetics/Nutrition that Cooksey was opining about which foods were and were not beneficial, the board launched a three-month investigation of his Internet writings and his dialogues with people who read and responded to them.
