Hopefully you caught this popular post last quarter. And so it continues here with another review of the top lenses - this time of the top Nikon lenses - my preferred weapon of choice when shooting stills. You already know I rarely write about gear since there are entire websites dedicated to that sophistry but it doesn't change the fact that it's still a top request I get from you, so the way I mitigate...

The Grammys are a usually a lovely nightcap to the previous year’s music. Some celebration, some tension, a little drama and some nice performances. And whether or not you agree with where the Grammy Committee’s voting ended up in any category - one thing is for sure: 4 Grammy’s from Macklemore & Ryan Lewis - who to this day are not signed to a record label - is impressive. And perhaps what’s more impressive IMHO...

One of the many things I love about Travis Rice is his refusal to be pegged into a single hole. Yes, he'll always be a snowboarding legend, but that athletic pursuit is powered by a creative, artistic soul, as evidenced in one way by his art gallery initiative, Asymbol, and in another by his on-going work with the Brain Farm cinema crew. When I had Travis on cjLIVE last year [re-watch here], he...

When the Nikon Df arrived on the scene a couple months back, I tried to temper the hype (my own included) with a good dose of high expectations. Yes, it looked bad ass. Yes, it housed the same sensor as the D4. Yes, the optical viewfinder has 100% field of view. But as a compact camera fiend and someone whose owned probably 50 cameras or more, I'm no pushover. So when Adorama shipped...

We may be in the age of digital downloads (behind that link is a nice present for you), but musicians and the designers behind them still care deeply about their cover art. After all - whichever way you slice it - that image evokes a narrative about the music, the artist and/or the album. So I was flattered -- and immediately on board -- when Mario Andreoni of !!! (pronounced/also written Chk Chk Chk) asked...

Each time I have the good fortune to work with DigitalRev TV and my friend Kai Man Wong something memorable happens. For example, you might recall the time that Kai and DigitalRev TV dragged me around Hong Kong with a Lego Camera on one of their infamous CheapCamera Challenges. The highlights included surprise runway models, aggravated kung fu fighters and eating pig's anus on the street. Most recently Kai and his hilarious crew...

As some of you accurately guessed from this pic I posted to Twitter last week, we've been rocking out in Hong Kong for a shoot, adapting to an uncooperative weather situation (rain - lots of it), hanging out on the water and dining on some pretty dynamite dim sum. A few of you wondered if we were hooking up with our friends at DigitalRev. Maybe to do another lego camera shoot or show them how...
