Tiger cruise
Last month, Jon Canfield was fortunate enough to participate in a "Tiger Cruise" on the USS Nimitz. The Nimitz was returning home from an eight month deployment to the Pacific, and participation in Operation Iraqi Freedom. His son is an aircraft ordinanceman (he builds and loads bombs) with VFA-41 -- The Black Aces fighter squadron. During the five days he was on board, he was able to watch launch and recovery operations and an airpower show. This article shows images from that trip.

Beyond cheesiness: how to frame your pictures
Poor Ben Hochstrasser. He wrote a great, free program called FrameFun. It's a very useful program, capable of many features. However, in the interests of writing an article about doing what I call "cheesy vignettes," we spotlighted only one, somewhat weak feature of this great program. Fortunately, Ben has both a sense of humor and pride of craftsmanship. He offered to write a follow-up article showing you how you can get a whole lot more out of FrameFun, turning it into a real resource for your digital photography toolbox. This is that article.
