If you haven’t heard of it, maybe you’ve seen Wikipedia, which is basically a big collaborative online encyclopedia. That means anyone can contribute to it. Wikifashion is the same thing, but exclusively for topics related to fashion. What is Wikifashion? [...]

I recently shot photos and video for a bag review over on In Their Closet. The fantastic haze in the first photo happened because it was the first shot I took after walking into 90-degree heat and humidity with a camera lens that was rather happy in the 69-degree chill of my house.

This week Katy decided to focus on a topic that I think we should all be thinking about more often, and that is fitness.
