All you need to know: _Yes - it really was that steep. What's that old saying, "Measure twice, cut once?" Same applies for spending time finding the hard to find angle. _That's Jill Kintner on the bike. Badass. Have a great weekend.

"Sliders and dollies help you tell your story with beautiful camera moves." So sayeth filmmaker Zeke Kamm of Nice Industries. Hard to argue with that statement. Well-placed, well-executed dolly shots increase production value, no question there. They can also increase production time and total gear load, as traditional sliders are bulky and a bitch to set up. That's where Kamm's Rocket Travel Slider comes in. Capable of delivering up to 10 foot long, smooth dolly...

I'm loving the photo related projects that are popping up on kickstarter these days. I get 4-5 emails per week from people promoting their projects. Some of them suck. Some are fun. Others are downright dope. So, as we usher in a new era of DIY gadgetry and attempt to discover a future slew of products that might help us photogs + directors, I'm going to try to regularly recommend some kickstarters that have a little...

At 26 years old, Chris Burkard is living the dream of traveling around the world to shoot surfers in exotic places. He's been recognized for his work with some prestigious awards including a first place spot in the Red Bull Illume competition. His images are a complementary mix of being right in the action and being removed from it. At times the subject is a tiny speck in the grander landscape. Other times the camera...

Regular readers here know I'm a big fan of street art. And when I find good stuff, I share it. In particular the work of Tracy Lee Stum have blown my mind of late - pushing the boundaries of what can be done with perspective and chalk, creating innovative new ways to expand the medium. Where most people see a piece of chalk and a stretch of sidewalk, Tracy sees yawning chasms, hidden underground cities,...

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...

It seems our exploratory swim in the waters of full-frame DSLRs is far from complete. With the ink from his recent reviews of the D600 and the mirrorless Panasonic GH3 still drying, I asked my homie Ben Pitt to put the Canon EOS 6D between his microscope plates and share his findings here. As you'd expect with a lower-priced semi-pro camera, the EOS 6D is a mixed-bag. It's light and boasts integrated GPS + Wi-Fi,...

What's in a dream? For me, dreams have always been an incredibly powerful driver for creativity. At least a day or two every week, I wake up at 3am, scurry out of bed and make some notes about a future piece of work, an idea that needs development,etc. In short, the rooms of our subconscious are ripe with fruit for the picking. I've been considering creating a series of images of my own dreams and...

UPDATE: Argo wins for best picture! Love or hate the Academy, it's hard not to get a little swept up in the fever. And with the Oscars now behind us, it gives us a reason to ask "why did he/she/it win?" and disagree or agree with our co-workers at the water cooler for the next month. I was walking into the movies with Kate not too long ago and it occurred to me that of...
