Taking a Step Back

March 19, 2012 | No comments yet

Today is going to be a little bit of a continuation of what I wrote after Tracy Turpen’s death a few months ago. I realize that was the moment when my renewed initiative to post regularly went by the wayside. I don’t think it’s cause and effect, exactly, but it gave me some perspective, and […]

Then and Now

February 9, 2012 | No comments yet

The other day, while doing some photographic housekeeping–moving files around, making sure things were backed up, organized, etc.–I came across a folder I’d titled “Desktop Pix.” Periodically, when I have a photograph that strikes me particularly from a shoot, I set it aside, resize it for my desktop, and use it on my computer until […]

The Glamor of Photography: Setting a Course for 2012

January 11, 2012 | No comments yet

This will hopefully be the last “gear” oriented blog for a little while. This one’s a little bit different than the last two, though, so I think it’s useful to think about. Heading into 2012, it’s time to take stock of where I am photographically, and make some plans for the new year. Part of […]

The Canon 1Dx: A Story of Excess

January 5, 2012 | No comments yet

I want to start off by apologizing for an unabashedly gear-focused post–I generally strive to write about technique, creativity, vision, and composition over tech-specs and gear, because I think it’s all too easy to get caught up in the gear and forget what you’re really trying to do. Still, I work with this gear and […]

June 3, 2011 | No comments yet

I have been back from Spain for a little over a week now, and in that time I have shot a wedding and gotten back into the swing of things. Of course for the wedding, I used my usual Canon gear, and it was a great juxtaposition after having used just the GF1 for a […]

Portrait Project: Stephanie & Mariel

April 3, 2011 | No comments yet

My portrait project is forcing me to be flexible and creative. I never know what kind of setting/props I am going to encounter, and one of the challenges is to use what’s at hand to make compelling images. I am finding that my basic kit has been winnowed down to the 1DmkIII, the 5D, my […]

G.A.S. The Race to Own the Most and Best Gear

March 28, 2011 | No comments yet

A funny thing happened recently: for the first time since I started using a camera in earnest, I “downgraded” a lens. I sold my 70-200 f/2.8 IS and replaced it with a 70-200 f/4 IS. When I originally sold my Nikon gear and switched to Canon, it was partly because Canon had the 70-200 f/4–it’s […]
