I just finished a complete site re-design on my photography site. Go check it out! Oh, and also: I was able to snag the Dot Com version of my URL from whoever had it last. It’s mine now!

For some reason I can’t get my Canon T2i’s RAW files to open in Photoshop CS3 or 4 and I don’t particularly care for Canon’s DPP software. It’s a shame, though I’m forced to shoot in RAW plus JPG mode (which really isn’t a problem), however I’d like my RAW processing capability back. I guess [...]

I haven’t purchased a digital SLR since my 20D in early 2006. This past Saturday I made the 30 minute trip to Harlingen to pick up the only Canon EOS 550D (Rebel T2i) in the area. I’m going to shoot my next short film with it. It’s awesome. Check out this video clip I shot [...]

Introducing my next camera. The 7D is pretty much what I’ve been looking for: an upgrade from my 20D with a 100% viewfinder, larger Polaroid, 1080/24P capability with full manual control and be less expensive than the 5D Mark II. The 7D has an APS-C sensor, but I’ve been used to them since the 300D. [...]

Amstelveen, The Netherlands, 17 September 2008: Canon announces the full frame, 21.1 Megapixel EOS 5D Mark II: the first EOS with full High Definition video capability. I’ve been holding out on an upgrade to my four year old Canon EOS 20D this year in calculated anticipation of the 5D Mark II. I knew that if [...]

In 1994 I was introduced to 35mm single lens reflex cameras with the Pentax K-1000, an inexpensive amateur device that required no batteries unless you wanted to take advantage of the exposure meter in the viewfinder. The K-1000 was assigned to me in journalism class during my sophomore year in high school. Before then I [...]

I got a new toy today: the Canon PowerShot SD1100 IS. I got it as a replacement to my SD1000 which got ruined at a pool party some months back. Anyway, I got the bug and I got it because, again, I can’t take my SLR everywhere. It’s interesting to note that out of all [...]

I shoot digital, so having a light meter isn’t really all that necessary since I can just pop a few test shots and eyeball the exposure off the polaroid back. Of course the results are absolutely hit-and-miss. So I’ve decided to become properly scientific and get a damn light meter. The Sekonic L-358 Flash Master [...]

I finished up an impromptu probono photoshoot with Regina this evening. I missed Battlestar Galactica, however I’m catching the repeat right now with a Little Caesars Hot-N-Ready pizza and some Landshark beer. I just saw Adama and Tigh beat the living shit out of each other…which was cool…and I’m glowing over the first-time use of [...]
