Since I traded in the old iPhone 3gs for the new iPhone 4s, my photo taking productivity has increased significantly. That’s the good thing. The bad thing is that my photo taking productivity has increased significantly and I haven’t touched my Canon 7D in weeks! I’ve found that the new 8MP camera and optics have really [...]

I saw this affordable tilt-shift camera on a Facebook post today (by Photojojo) at lunch and thought it was pretty great. The images look solid, there are some nice embedded filters and tilt-shift always looks better when thrown by a real lens as opposed to a photoshop post effect, in my opinion… Have a look, [...]

This, to me, is very exciting on many levels. Above are screen grabs from 360cities.net, a site that I have posted about a few times before because I find it to be a really innovative space to discover 360 panoramic photos. What makes this image of the Strahov library in Prague so special, is the [...]

A college buddy of mine from Pratt turned me on to a San Francisco based artist named Edmund Wyss. His impeccable photo-realistic vintage camera paintings definitely display his love for light, precision and well designed objects. I’ve only seen what he has on his online portfolio and this popphoto post, but I can imagine his [...]

San Francisco: The Miniature City from MINIMUS on Vimeo.
I came across this well done San Francisco tilt-shift by videographer and motion designer MINIMUS on nalden.net today while killing time in between phone calls. I’ve posted a bunch of tilt-shift videos in the past, I just can’t seem to get enough of the effect. I plan to [...]

Like a kid in a camera store, I’m pretty excited about this discovery made and passed along by a friend of mine last week (Thanks Aaron!). These little lenses magnetically hold in place on any camera phone and judging from the shots on http://photojojo.com/ they really work! There are three lenses available -> Fisheye, Macro, and [...]

I’m happy to report that I received my long awaited Canon EOS 7D in the mail from B&H Camera last Thursday and I’ve been tinkering with it ever since, despite a head cold and some pretty drippy and unusually cold weather (for August). Right out of the box I knew I had made the right [...]

I’ve been keeping a simple posterous iPhone pic blog for a while now. I like to post all the random day-to-day stuff that I come across, recently I’ve been posting sound clips from my guitar practice sessions as well… all in good fun. Those are three of my latest shots above. Lately my pic uploads [...]

With digital photography being such a healthy industry these days, you have a ton of people buying up new equipment and fueling new innovation. To me, this is both a good thing as well as a challenging reality to keep up with. I’ve spent the last year and a half trying to determine what camera [...]

The above paper cut-out pin-hole camera design called ‘Rubikon2′ is available here as a nicely designed and detailed 7 page .pdf to download and build for free. Designed by Jaroslav Juřica, the camera folds up to be 98 x 70 x 68 mm and can take some pretty impressive textured shots as seen on his [...]

Sky from Philip Bloom on Vimeo.
The amazingly talented Philip Bloom has created yet another visual masterpiece filmed in Dubai over 5 days and nights. Using a Canon 7D, 2x5DmkII and one Panasonic GF1, his careful eye and skillful camera work are a pleasure to take in. I’ve been following him for a while and am [...]

The classic Polaroid self-developing film camera is back with their soon to be released ‘One Pic1000′ instant camera. Since 2007 many loyal Polaroid enthusiasts have been hoping this re-launch would occur. The company plans to release multiple retro-chic designs and has even announced that pop star lady gaga will be the creative director for a [...]

I discovered these amazing photos taken by Italian Photographer Paolo Novelli on one of my favorite trend blogs http://www.nalden.net. He is calling this collection ‘A Bit of Africa’. I really like his application of tilt-shift photo styling to these dilapidated and underdeveloped urban settings. Makes for a nice merge of old and new… More of Paolo Novelli’s photos can be [...]

Not too long ago I posted about the new Leica M9, now available for a cool 7K. I caught a lot of flack for that post on Facebook as the Leica (as I stated) is not the most economically sound decision to make when comparing to other cameras on the market… People wanted to re-enforce [...]

Classic German camera design company Leica has come out with the M9 which will be replacing the now cult classic M8. The M9 will be selling for a cool 7K, not the most affordable camera on the planet but definitely one of the most desired. Any expert camera sales person will tell you that the [...]
