Don’t be fooled by the site’s plain, unelaborate look, Remedy’s blog is definitely a photo journal blog worth visiting. It is authored by a “happy husband and father of two adorable kids,” says in his profile. In the blog’s imposing header, you can see how magnificently he looks at the world; a photo journalist who gives his all when he shoots at anything live or inanimate.

For someone who considers himself to be an amateur photographer, USCLABDOG, his pseudonym, captures anything with skill. How he perceives the things around him reflects on the subjects he photographs. Just by looking at each photo makes one feel that there is beauty around. Each photo makes us feel something. Each picture speaks about life and what it tells us, about family and what they can provide, about children and the lessons they share, about ideals and how we should be guided by them, about purpose and how it should be directing us, or about God’s power and how it is so overwhelming.

One of the photos that could captivate anyone is a shot entitled “Heaven is a Basketball Court,” an entry in October 28, 2007. It is amazing how the blog owner captivated the beauty of the sky caught by a basketball ring and there appeared like orbs, which are actually light’s reflections- became like balls being shot into the ring. It was superbly done with taste.

It is sad that the photo blog hasn’t been updated in six months. Nonetheless, we found his photostream in Flickr which is not only up-to-date but has hundreds of remarkably awe-inspiring photographs. So that’s where he’s been hiding! Or should we say showing (his photos)… We’re not sure of his plans for the photo journal blog but we hope he will continue doing so.

For what it’s worth, we sincerely recommend keeping the blog and perhaps changing the layout to something more dynamic and striking. A theme designed specifically for photoblog or portfolio type would do wonders! Unfortunately, there isn’t much themes for Photoblogs in Blogger except a handful we found from a favorite Blogger guru’s site. The photojournalist should really consider moving over to Self-hosting WordPress where more resources are available for posting such great work!

For something as beautiful as USCLBDOG’s photography, it deserves a much better home and better theme/template to showcase the work of art and attract more visitors! The photographs are just too good to be ignored! That’s just us. Perhaps there’s no need to move since the black background is already in perfect contrast to the beautiful photographs. Maybe a cleaner and less cluttered sidebar can do the trick just as well…

Remedy’s photo blog would definitely pave the way to recognition and stamp a mark among those excellent photo bloggers and photo journalists. The blog owner has expertise in his own right that is so unique and a talent that has a lot to give. A visit will teach any visitor important lessons in life, and about photo journalism. You would not want to miss it.
