back from an intl trip last week + had a question that fits timing wise in more ways then one – “you’ve mentioned pelican cases before, what’s your fav travel tools + best way to protect gear”?
thanks for the question bob. this is tough + easy. easy because there are a number of options (lowepro, [...]

the G11 is here… + the same price i paid for my G9 nearly two years ago. a huge fan of the 9 as it is one solid little multi platform machine. you have your raw images, quick auto jpgs if you need them, a slew of video settings including a sweet little 1024 + [...]

outstanding news from the largest camera maker on the planet + something that huge numbers of us out in the field have been pulling for. canon is introducing the first ever full frame DSLR with manual exposure video control in june. this includes aperture, shutter + ISO. absolutely fantastic. and making the deal even sweeter [...]

I was talking with a friend recently about the success ratio of photographs and how to improve that. He works as a ski guide in Canada and uses a point and shoot to nab images for clients while he’s working. The kicker is that his images are quite good. Why? He keeps the camera in [...]

Interesting piece in the NY Times magazine this AM though it wasn’t the title that caught me. It was the subtitle – Photo Finish : In a curious reversal, an innovation travels from the mainstream to the creative fringe – and disappears. Written by Rob Walker, it covers the news that’s been out for a [...]

Rather than look back at all the water under the bridge that made up 2007 I’d like to simply say thanks. Thanks to all the clients, assistants, models, athletes, editors, and absolutely everyone else who has made this year the great one it was.
