"Sure the economy is in the outhouse, but I can't help but fixate on the tremendous opporunity that awaits the saavy photographer or digital artist who is well-equipped to address the next digital photography era." So I have this thought above, and it's pinging around my brain this morning over a split-shot Americano, when a friend flips me this great piece by a Forrester-Researcher-turned-social-technologist named Peter Kim called "Comments on The Next Digital Era". Turns...

Ok friends, brace yourselves. The company that brought us the RED ONE video camera--that I've used and raved about before, ad nauseum--today announced their newest addition to the imaging world: not one, but two new DSMC (that's "digital stills and motion camera" in case you missed it) camera platforms...EPIC and Scarlet. Sure you remember my earlier post about the converging technologies of still and video. We've naturally been excited by the newest video dSLR's by...

I'm now peppering in occasional images in a photoblog style, per some earlier discussions. Just shot a commercial sports gig with an editorial flavor - my bread and butter.Posed or grabbed moments? Lighting? You tell me. Is it possible to connect deeply with an image if you know it's commercial? A few more images after the jump...--

Couldn't resist this Gizmodo post today... This little jobber turns video dSLRs like the Nikon D90 and the Canon 5D into cheapo movie steadycams. Not unlike the Redrock "cinematizing" kit featured last week also on the Giz, this new rig features light controlling barn doors, fine focus and zoom controls, plus a monitor, a structural beam that goes past the user's shoulder, an adjustable pad, and counterweights. Rumors abound that this little dealio was hot...

As the earliest photographer to get his hands on the Nikon D90, I confess that a recent post on Engadget caught my attention. It called for feedback on the D90. (Another reason I love Engadget: they know that the manufactures are listening - and this got me excited).Regarding the D90, I'm of the humble opinion that this camera has very broad appeal. Not because of any brand loyalty or because I shot the campaign, or...

Step 1 (The Premise): If you like photography, cameras, flashes, strobe lighting, computers, knives, Photoshop, or fast action, read on. Step 2 (The Concept): I know you've seen still photographs of arrows piercing apples, exploding water balloons, and bullets tearing through roses. If you've ever wanted to know how we photographers freeze this crazy-fast action, you'll want to watch this 3-minute video on high speed photography. Step 3 (The Background): A short while...

Had this fun Chase Jarvis FRAMES buried in an earlier post and it was suggested by some smart friends that I give it a unique post url, like all the other vids. It made sense, so here it is. Apologies if you caught it the first time around. In the event you missed it, this vid features 3954 still frames of skiers and snowboarders ripping deep pow and hucking their meat around the slopes....
