All Things Photography Related in One Place

 

The Aperture Aside Photographer’s Web Hub is an exciting new concept. Each spoke, both existing and planned, aspires to be your one-stop photography hub. Landing here is a free portal to everything photography related. AA is open to individuals across the globe who want to learn and grow and share as photographers, and is supported and funded by Cielos Rojos Photographic Arts.

 

This is our way of giving back a little of what our photographic family, friends, and acquaintances worldwide have given us. This hub site and Photographer’s Journal is about and for YOU! We offer many spokes in our hub, and are constantly adding more.

 

Aperture Aside Photographer’s Journal is our free bi-monthly forum for learning, teaching, sharing and encouraging. We scour the web for contests and call to artists, free learning sites and interviews. Aperture Aside Photographer’s Journal’s  bi-monthly features subscriber-written articles and tutorials, news, and much more.

I've combined our blog with my group at Visual Arts Junction in order to offer the most help to the most artists, even beyond photographers. The blog keeps you posted on new activities as they happen.  You can “Subscribe via Email” or many choices for RSS Feeds.

Aperture Aside Archives. Access the largest Archives to all things photography-related in one place anywhereon the web, that we know of (& we’ve looked). Find links to Call to Artists, Workshops, Conferences, Classes & Schools, Photoshop Actions, Plug-ins & Brushes, Tutorials, Magazines & Resources, Newsletters & Articles,  Photography as a Business, Learn Professional Printing, Free Advertising sites, and $hopping.

I update the archives monthly, so check back often.

Aperture Aside Forum. The Forum is our interactive center for speaking out, connecting and informing 24/7. You can interact with the staff, post your questions, and freely share your thoughts with other photographers worldwide.

We offer a Marketplace for advertising at a ridiculously low rate. This is especially exciting, as we can access products and services from people like ourselves. We now have options other than the conglomerate offers. If want to advertise, please contact us.

 

Check out our Social Center daily, (right next to the Blog) where with a click, you can access photography related product reviews & tests, video tutorials and much more by world renowned organizations and people just like all of us, who want to freely share their knowledge.

Our Aperture Aside University online is now in the planning stages. You have access to all these spoke in one hub site; plus a dedicated staff who share the work of organizing and archiving for you a virtual world of free photographic education and information about all things photography-related.

Many offerings are in process. If you have any suggestions (and I hope you often do) or questions, please email me at The Cabin. Or speak up at the Forum. Your participation and contributions are what Aperture Aside is all about. YOU.

I hope you have the greatest day ever,
