Web Designer Ramblings - Photo of the Day

There are times of the day when light and landscape combine in a way that makes a work of art. In this photo, the afternoon light paints the Sandia mountain range with delicate shadows that compliment the early spring colors of the surrounding terrain. The Sandias, located in Albuquerque, New Mexico is here seen from the Old Route 66 that runs parallel to this beautiful mountain range.

Low Cost Stock Photos for Web Designers

Every web designer craves them--low cost stock photos that can be used for a variety of projects. Of course, simply being cheap is not enough. The real treasure is a photo resource that is both cheap and high quality! Of course, we all know about iStockphoto perhaps the best low cost ($1.00 per photo) resource out there.
