So what is this thing you call the GNARBOX? Funny you should ask. Directly from the manufacture’s website: “A pocket-sized device that empowers you to backup, organize, edit & share HD videos and photos, laptop free.” Hmmm. I have to say that up until a month ago, I had never heard of the GNARBOX. The
Say hello to the Fujifilm X-T2 Mirrorless digital camera. Another offering for photographers that aggressively thumbs its nose at comparable massive pro DSLR bodies from Canon and Nikon. History In 1993 I purchased my first camera, a Nikon 8008. Shortly thereafter, I bought my first brick of FujiChrome Velvia. Velvia had this amazing
The snow has begun to fall here in the west, blanketing mountain scenics in a carpet of white. When we head out on a snow photography mission, we need to pay closer attention to the light meters in our cameras. All manufacturers have different terms and technologies for their in-camera meters.

“Say hello to the future.” Say hello to iPhone X. Apple Inc. iPhone X & The Future Last week my brand new iPhone X arrived. Apple’s marketing slogan for the phone is, “Say hello to the future”. I think back to my original iPhone. I adopted it the day it was released. It

Let’s begin with what the hell is Lightroom Classic CC? Well, apparently the people working at Adobe have been taking some LSD and not sharing it with the rest of us. If you didn’t get the memo from last week there are now two Lightroom software platforms available. What we all used to

Have you ever heard the term, “Safety is no accident?” It was something that I used to say when I was in charge of building million dollar houses. This week we are going to discuss how-to assess the risk of photographing in the wilderness with other people. I have one more saying, this

The release of the new Sony a9 this spring finally sparked interest in the mirrorless camera market for me. I have tested other Sony cameras but had hangups with their operation and how I specifically work as a photographer. When Sony announced the a9, their press release specifically addressed the issues that I
My obsession with the solar eclipse 2017 began about two years ago. A client randomly asked me what my plans were when the solar eclipse was supposed to be overhead in Jackson, Wyoming.
