What’s In Your Camera Bag?
Traveling photographers always like to discuss what’s in their bag. Here is what I use in mine.
Nikon
Thoughts on Hawaii Pics and Equipment
What’s it like to shoot with the Nikon D810 camera, and the 14-24 mm, 85 mm 1.4, and the 80-400 mm lenses, as well as the Zeiss 50 mm lens, courtesy of LensRentals.com? Here are my thoughts.
A Photographic Adventure
How a balance of equipment and focus may yield a superior photographic adventure.
Smartphones Will Not Replace Cameras Altogether
Why futurists who are predicting advanced smartphones will usher in the death of cameras are wrong.
Launching the 365 Full Frame Project #365FF
The 365 Full Frame project launches as a photo blog. A photo will publish on the blog every day for 365 days.
Use Your Smartphone to Train Your Eye

Going Back to Mirrors
After two years of shooting photos with a micro 4/3 camera, I am returning to a traditional DSLR from Nikon.
Social Photography: Thoughts and 4 Tips
Taken mid-air last night with an iPhone 4s.
You may not love Flickr, Instagram or Pinterest, but you can’t deny the continuing rise of social photography. Photos dominate social media. Even on Facebook, the king of networks, people spend 17 percent of their time perusing photos according to a recent ComScore/BuddyMedia study.
Whether they are retail pics “pinned” on Pinterest, food shots discussed on any social site (25 percent of foodie photo creators do so as part of a daily food diary), or a happenstance shared on Instagram or via TwitPic, photos are a universal staple of the online social world. As such, social photography should be a part of your communications strategy.
The results have been fantastic for me. While this blog has a decent following, in the four years I have written here regularly (some of the old 2007-8 posts were imported from my now defunct Now Is Gone blog), my photo blog on Flickr has generated roughly 50% more page views.
