Adobe Marketplace

Looking for brushes, filters, styles? There is plenty out there but it is often scattered and requires some digging. I have been a growing fan of all the content available on adobe.com's exchange site (http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/exchange/). It is hub for all sorts of user created content and program extensions for Photoshop as well as other CS programs like Dreamweaver, InDesign, and Illustrator. Most of it is free, and it has the benefits of all being searchable in one place. I have also found it is of a bit higher quality since it is moderated by Adobe.

http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/exchange/ is the base page, from there you can select your product, then search by the category your interested in.

Irina Werning: Back to the Future

"I love old photos. I admit being a nosey photographer. As soon as I step into someone else’s house, I start sniffing for them. Most of us are fascinated by their retro look but to me, it’s imagining how people would feel and look like if they were to reenact them today... A few months ago, I decided to actually do this. So, with my camera, I started inviting people to go back to their future."

This photographer took old childhood photographs of different people and photographed the person (now grown-up, obviously) in an effort to recreate the old photo. I love all the attention to detail. Talk about "making" a picture.
