New Pocket Wizard Plus III available!

It is rare to find a product that has such a monopolizing hold on a market as Pocket Wizards have in the photography trigger market. They are the industry standard, and everything else pales in comparison. That isn't to say that there aren't other decent triggers that work. It's just that most of those other triggers only work some of the time, or only up to a certain distance.  Pocket [...]

NY Fashion week ends, as do the lives of 2 NY fashion legends.

The first was an amazing photographer named Lillian Bassman who has often been compared to the more well known names of Richard Avedon and Irving Penn.   Her stunning black and white photos can be seen here. The other fashion icon was often on the other side of the lens, getting [...]

Nikon D800 and some great Canon Deals

If you're like me, you've been waiting for months (or is it years?) for the D800 to be released. Well it's not available quite yet, but thanks to Nikon Rumors we have a bunch of photos and a translated press release.  What do you think of the specs? Personally I wish it had a faster fps rate and less megapixels. 36.3 mp is way too much for anything I ever need. Those are some LARGE files! If [...]

An Amazing Mixed Media Visual Art Exhibit

My good friend Jake Marsico is a great photographer, and like me, a bit of a world traveler. He has spent a lot of time in the Middle East, and his photos from that time are amazing, and make up part of his new exhibit at the Butler Institute of American Art in Youngstown Ohio. While I haven't been able to get there to see it yet, his friend and filmmaker Dave Adams collaborated with [...]

Amazing color versions of famous black and white photos.

PetaPixel posted a story about Swedish artist Sanna Dullaway and her amazing color restorations. I was blown away by her work. Usually when I've seen B&W photos or videos colorized they look like someone drew on them with pastel crayons. These are amazing. My favorites are the Abe Lincoln and Einstein photos.  Here are the links: PetaPixel, Sanna's Site, and portfolio.   [...]

B&H now taking pre-orders for Nikon D4

I'm sure everyone who shoots Nikon has already heard that Nikon officially announced the D4, well now you can pre-order yours here so you can be one of the first to receive the new camera in February (if you can afford the hefty price tag). I'll be very jealous of you shooters who get one of these amazing cameras. I'm still waiting for the D800! [...]

Lara Jade v. Joey L Shoot-off DVD Review Most photography tutorials online are often boring and poor quality, making them hard to watch even if they are useful and educational. Such is not the case with this DVD.  Here we have two photographers, both very successful at a very young age, opening up and giving us complete access to their photography worlds. The DVD is broken up into 4 [...]

Instant Photos from my New Years Eve

I hope you all had a safe and fun New Years Eve! Last week in this post I talked about my plan to shoot NYE with a Polaroid Land Camera and some FUJIFILM FP-3000B.  Focusing and composing with my right hand and holding a flash in my left proved to be quite the challenge, and I and a couple throwaway shots, but these are some of my favorites from the night: [...]

New Years Eve- what are you going to shoot?

I hope all of my readers had a 2011 that was as great as mine was, and if you're in the western hemisphere the year isn't over yet! New Years Eve is your last chance to do something great photographically in 2011, use it! If you're like me, you might imbibe a few adult beverages, so taking out your DSLR isn't the best idea. I always use NYE parties as the perfect excuse to dust off an old film [...]
