The name Travis Rice has for some time been synonymous with the best snowboarder in the world. Literally, of that caliber. Which for those more inclined to the details, that means insane big mountain snowboarding and epic snowboarding films and photoshoots all over the world (watch him on #cjLIVE here).

You may recall a few weeks back I released a video of the behind-the-scenes action for a cool gig I was asked to create for Samsung around their Series 9 Color Premium monitors. It was a dream job in a lot of ways. For one, I got to literally photograph a re-creation of my dreams; for two, on jobs like that I get the opportunity to rub elbows with the best crew ---cinematographers,...

I didn't talk about it much, but over the past month I lost two close family members in 48 hours. My grandmother passed away on Mother's Day and my wife Kate's grandmother passed away 2 days later. Neither was expected. As you might imagine, it was a crushing week (and following month) for our family. And now not a day goes by that I don't think about them. More importantly, I've had a real chance...

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,...
