Without a doubt, one of our most popular posts of 2010 has been this post where we outline in detail our photo and video workflow from capture to delivery of digital assets to clients. Every step is included in that post or video, but EVEN THEN we had a huge number of questions about it. As in hundreds and hundreds. Questions that are important and deserve answers. That's the reason we've decided to dedicate an... read more ›

A while back I got call from the Nikon mothership which put the very first HDdSLR--the Nikon D90--into my hands months before the world had seen that technology. I won’t ever forget that experience. That little camera kicked off this whole craze of photo and video convergence that we’re swimming in today. Well...low and behold, a few months ago I got another one of those calls from Nikon. “Chase-san. We have a new... read more ›

Not because it's fancy or sexy, but because it covers arguably the most essential information on a set of topics that every photo and video person should understand: workflow, storage and backup of your precious images.

I feel compelled to share with you my latest documentary short film in the series I've been commissioned to create for Russell Investments. This particular piece is about planning--a topic that bridges my client to the rest of the world's day to day endeavors--but it might as well be about inspiration. That's the primary reason I want to share it here... Not for the commercial message, but because Helen Thayer is one of... read more ›
