Just discovered this website: Skrekkøgle, a creative trio who gets creative for creativities sake! One of their featured projects is printing images with your loved ones cremated remains.. Not sure how I feel about this, for one it would creep me out big time, and two I’m not sure how the remains would react over time […]
Beautiful cross section of the PSD’s of one of my favorite photographers, Dave Hill. This is a crazy special treat, not many photographers will let everyone see what they did in photoshop, even though it is just a little snippet of the finished layers. Dave Hill is known for shooting all the elements of his images […]
First thoughts, OSX Lion is amazing. Love it. Here is a short list of features I like and features I’m currently not a fan of. Let me know what you think of it! Pros I’m enjoying I love the new desktop setup, simply drag an app to a new ‘desktop’ and it clears the clutter […]
One question I’m asked quite frequently is how to pose models. Unfortunately there is no answer. Everyone has their own personality and reacts to instructions differently. One technique may work with model A, but will fail miserably with model B. As a photographer you must be able to read who you are working with and […]
I need to change the way I store all of my images. Currently its all manual across several external hard drives, and a pain to sync them all. I’m thinking Drobo. What do you use and/or recommend?
Running through StumbleUpon earlier today I found this video by Kyle Jones. This is an amazingly awesome example of an effect known as rolling shutter. You can see it on most cameras, but it is most pronounced in video. Why does it happen? When the shutter on the camera you are using activates, it moves […]
Everyone that knows me will understand me when I say that I am a sucker for gear accessories.. This is a terrible habit to have because there is always multiple solutions to any problem and an endless buffet of add ons to choose from. And its expensive.. What makes matters worse is I just got […]
Audio friends! I’m in need of some info. I’m recording audio for a few video projects using the Zoom H1 and a RØDE shotgun mic. I’m still very new to the process. So to get the best results I ask you! When is best to use the two modifiers I have for the H1, I call […]
Can’t afford a Nikon body? But have an iPhone and some Nikkor lenses?? There is now a solution! Apparently Photojojo is selling an adapter kit for your iPhone to accept Nikkor glass. It’s $190, but I didn’t see it in their store. I bet their servers are being hit pretty hard with the announcement. I’ll […]
Beautiful diagram of basic manual photo principles. These are numbers every photographer need to know!

In a nutshell; to keep the same exposure when changing settings, raise or lower one of the […]
2010 was a special year. I had the amazing opportunity to team up with IMPACTO Spanish Ministries and LaOtto Wesleyan Church to travel to several villages surrounding Lake Atitlan in Guatemala. We had several focuses on the trip including: Happy Feet – a shoe/sandal distribution ministry for the people in the remote mountain villages around […]

We photographed in a beautiful barn/furniture consignment shop , and inside Karisma‘s shop. Karisma provided the clothing for the shoot and has a phenomenal shop. I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to use […]
Yowza, Eye-FI released an amazing update to their mobile app! (A while ago now, it was recent when I wrote this…) A while back I read a blog post by Lee Morris of FStoppers about tethering your camera straight to your camera via the Eye-Fi memory card and the jailbroken app MyWi. I joined the […]
