Over the years I've kicked out a bunch of vids shooting from the skies on commercial gigs, like here, here, here and here for starters. But occasionally, on the heels of a commercial assignment based out of a particularly stunning location, I'll treat myself to some heli time shooting my ongoing aerial fine art project (personal work with dose of adventure). In fact, I've documented these adventures before — like here in New...

Data tells me that more than 100,000 of you caught my earlier Top 5 Nikon, Top 5 Canon & Top 5 Hasselblad lens posts, but it's intuition that tells me what many of you are really wanting is today's post on Micro 4/3 and mirrorless lenses. And yes, I rarely write about gear since there are entire websites dedicated to that pixel peeping universe... but my hope is that this makes the few times I...

Background Story. This image was a part of a global campaign — print, OOH and digital - for Naked Juice in 2011. This image was one image in a series of 6 ads where the goal was to achieve what we were calling "the Naked Lens" — a superwarm, hard backlit look, complete with lens flare and jeweled tones throughout the image. While it might be an overused look these days — lens flares hadn't...

It's fair to say that I'm obsessed with the human spirit. It is amazing, bizarre and lovely at the same time and it can accomplish unthinkable things in the face of the most harrowing odds, in the face of challenge, in the face of "never". Which is why I believe in the following quote and the following story that relates to this quote. You may have seen this story 'blow up' on social a few...

In case you haven't been following the fun, this is the third installment in my Lenstopia series. We kicked off with Canon lenses a few months ago, then followed with Nikon's top 5. In this edition we'll be propping up the top 5 lenses for the Hasselblad system -- a camera system I love for high-end, high-megapixel studio, fashion, and occasionally even outdoor photography. It's the system I used to capture my Diver photo, which...

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...
