Photo geeks -- this one's for you. Yes the new #cjRAW series covers a lot of territory -- from how I taught myself French, why I've come together with a bunch of people to build CreativeLive, to why I meditate, to my morning routine and everything in between...but I'm also aiming to maintain the soul from which this series was originally born... and that's photography. #NeverForget LOL I've already dropped episodes featuring shooting in wet... read more ›

Most people don't know this, but bad weather often means great (interesting) photos. So I almost never shy away from it. BUT I've heard LOTS of you whining rightly worrying about your camera gear when working outdoors in the yuck. Truth be told - I totally get it. The gear is spendy and unless you're an active pro photog or...rich...you want to be careful.. Sooooo, based on your asking, I thought I'd address this challenge... read more ›

You my dear friends all know the drone photography + cinematography, UMAV's, quadcopters, whatever the hell you wanna call them is all the rage these days. You don't need me to tell you that. But even I couldn't have predicted when I was first playing around with this stuff back in 2008, 09 and 2010 how fast this technology was going to blow up (figuratively). And...well... I've gotten to know the fine folks from DJI... read more ›

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".
