Hello camera geeks, gearheads and… well… those of you who just want the best tools for your trade. You heard right, I'm back with another unboxing, this time of the hotly anticipated Nikon D4s -- generously sent to me to by my friends at DPReview for a hands-on first impression, and it's available from my homies/gear partners at Adorama. So here goes… First impressions: that familiar Nikon gold box looks pretty much like...

I'm a huge believer in making art for art's sake. Taking photos that no one is going to pay you for. Shooting films that aren't commissioned or funded. Writing words that the world may never read. I've said before that doing and making always trumps talking about it, but there's also a difference between the doing and making that pays the bills and the doing and making that brings joy, that hones craft, lights creative...

I skip 99% of the gear gabbing you'll find on other photography sites, primarily because I'm more interested in the creative side but also because so many other sites already do it really well. I make the occasional exception, like when a new toy falls into my hands before anyone else, or when I feel some industry hype building around an imminent release that needs to be tempered with some realistic expectations. I...

There are times when the work is easy. When it's 3am and there is a connected feeling, when ideas flow effortlessly. When the inner critic who otherwise stunts creativity gets gagged, bound and shoved into a dark closet. And then there are the opposite times. When the feeling of being "blocked" or stunted creatively is powerfully frustrating and the inner critic rages supreme - where nothing of value seems to find its way to the...

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...
