commit
Amidst the holiday glow, I’ve committed to a camera lens. Well, amidst figuring out how to spend some Christmas payola on a smaller item, I discovered that the Canon 70-200mm f2.8L IS II USM was on sale. Actually, it was slightly cheaper on Amazon than the B&H so I bought it there. We’ve all heard […]

70-300
This lens I was excited about back in August has finally been priced. It’s $99 more than what I had heard it might be, which makes it still rather expensive but not so far off the estimated price that I’m scandalized. It seems like a cool lens, I just wish it was faster. f4-5.6 isn’t […]

polaroid sx-70
While we’re on the subject of analog-esque photography, here’s a fantastic promo video for the old Polaroid SX-70. The film was produced by the offices of legendary designers Charles and Ray Eames.

I didn’t want to get sidetracked too far by talking about the problem specifically but I saw this nice video describing it today and thought I’d lay the […]

The Eyjafjallajokull volcano has been in the news a lot lately due to the impact it’s having on air travel, but has anyone actually seen photos of this thing? If yes, sorry. Also, thanks for sharing….. or not this time. I’m coming out from under a rock known as work so these are new to […]

“house” director interviewed
My man Philip Bloom did an hour long interview with the director of the TV show “House” regarding the season finale shot on the 5dMk2. I mentioned the fact that the camera was being used a few weeks ago. It’s a good listen, highlights the many positive elements of shooting with these cameras as well […]

nab 2010
The National Association of Broadcasters had their 2010 convention just recently and I had wanted to throw some of these C5D videos on up here when they came out, but I’ve been too busy. There was a part of me that wanted to just throw some video up here and go about my other business […]
