My friends at the Photo Center NW are always showcasing new work and ideas that help progress the craft of photography. I'm a huge fan (and an honorary board member) of PCNW and this is a cool event they are putting on that I wanted y'all to know about... and it's happening THIS WEEK. A 24-hour photo marathon going down on the longest day of the year June 21 (that's in 3 days). Rafael Soldi...

Small cameras with big sensors are clearly an important part of the future. From the shockingly affordable cinema cameras from Blackmagic Designs to my beloved Olympus E-M5, it's clear to see that camera manufacturers are responding to a demand for compact camera systems. Sony is up there toward the front of the "big sensor/small camera" charge and seem to be pushing the technology forward, with last years Cybershot RX100, and now this years Cybershot RX1,...

With Adobe Photoshop looking ahead to its 25th anniversary, a handful of clever advertising pranks, and the recent exhibit at the National Gallery of Art on the history of photo manipulation [deets below], I thought we'd wax nostalgic for a hot minute on how far photography has come -- and hasn't come -- from those pre-school days of cutting, coloring and pasting. For those of us who love to wrench around in Photoshop on a...

Been shooting some freeride mountain biking lately and was poking around the web when I stumbled on this yesterday...behind the scenes on how this crew filmed a peregrine falcon chasing (and grabbing at) professional downhill mountain biker Gee Atherton over bumps, jumps and at insane speeds. Love the The Earth Unplugged crew's approach and patience, plus the ingenuity that thy used in a)the concept; and b)the filming techiques. #muchrespect I'm not a gear...

The banal and boring quickly get lost as noise among the infinite video and photo uploads that occur across the interwebs on the daily. To rise above and be seen, you need to step your shit up, big time. The peeps over at NRS Films and Forge are on a serious streak of producing killer, award-winning films of their paddling adventures. "Is this a vacation?" they ask themselves? Watch the video and tell me this...

I was onto the rush of mirrorless cameras pretty early - mostly from manufacturers sharing with me what was "coming soon", but I admit that I didn't really "get" it, until I started receiving early versions, prototypes and demos from the marketing folks at all your fav manufactures. Only then did I truly understand the punch that these little cameras pack - because they're good. I loved the concept, but hated the tiny sensors and...

Are you ready to have that lightbulb moment? Yes? Then stop reading and hit PLAY on the vid above. My guest in last week's cjLIVE was none other than the globe trotting, "self employed for life" hacker Chris Guillebeau. In addition to being all those things plus the founder of the World Domination Summit (most amazing name ever for a creative conference...) he is a best-selling author of The $100 Startup as well...

Many of us have ...ahem...fantasies about shutting down the laptop and closing up the studio for an extended period to go try something different. Pick up horseback riding. Learn a new language. Fly a plane. We all know our creative souls need it, but making the move is frightening. A couple months ago my writer friend Ben dropped in to share his thoughts on strategic renewal and scheduling...

Shabazz Palaces front-man Ishmael Butler was gracious enough to pose for this 60 Second Portrait back when he was on set for the cjLIVE episode with Ian Ruhter. Ishmael was one of the subjects of our massive tintype portraits along with Chris Ballew. Enjoy!
