Apparently as a followup to my well-timed and very handy video I put out this week (check it), my favorite camera manufacturer today announced the launch of a new app. It's getting really slick my friendz. While you could control the Hero3 cameras with earlier version of the app (view - start -stop - etc) the newest version of the app allows you the same ability to control the camera, but you can... read more ›

If you've been following along socially you're in the know that I'm on a commercial assignment in Belize that targets the life and wonder of the world's water, lakes, oceans, etc. [...You might remember this video of the SuperPod of dolphins from the South African leg of this campaign with long time friend Mike Horn...] In short, I can't say enough good stuff about Belize. It's seemingly impossible to take a bad photo here...even without... read more ›

I've been banging on the doors, windows, and faces of camera manufacturers for years about this one having long found value in the idea, "What good is a picture if you can't share it?" It's a simple concept that lots of us helped ignite in our culture via mobile devices. Instantly being able to share is assumed... read more ›

Yesterday Apple abruptly removed the mega-popular 500px from the iTunes App store today citing the fact that users can search for photos that feature nudity. I caught up with 500px CEO and co-founder Oleg Gutsol for a comment: "Apple's problem with the app is essentially that it was too easy to find nude photos by using the search function of the app. That functionality has been there since the beginning of our development of the... read more ›

But a deeper look reveals for me some cultural sadness...privileged kids posting bar tab receipts that cost more than four... read more ›

ANOTHER UPDATE 12/19: today Instagram did a much better job in the media explaining their position - specifically around not "selling" your images as in "here ya go company X, use this in your next billboard". As an artist & entrepreneur, having been involved in IP licensing all my professional career and navigated these waters before...as such I think I understand their challenge better than most. The legalese required around IP creators (in this case... read more ›
