A few days ago I asked for one or two word ideas for photographs. Something abstract to allow me some creativity, yet defined enough to be a challenge. Some fantastic words were provided. Oddly, almost everyone gave exactly two words. I got more words than I could possibly take in one day, so I've stretched [...]

Part of me wants to think that I'm just lazy. But if I really look at it I start to see that really, I lack motivation and commitment. I realized this after reading a post from a friend having a similar problem.
Look at yesterday. I got up at 6:30. I got caught up online, did [...]

A few weeks ago I laid out a plan to help me better vary the kind of photograph I was putting out there. It certainly wasn't simple or easy, but I felt like I could do it.
Last week doesn't count thanks to the fact that I was out of town and without the technical means [...]

Despite the ever decreasing amounts of free time I have these days (it was bad even before the baby) I feel compelled to force myself to continue to create and explore. I think a forced schedule is the best way to accomplish this. While it doesn't produce outstanding results every day, forcing myself to produce [...]

After reading Where are all the goddam photos, something in my head clicked. Not that photographers need a new way of doing things — I'd figured that out already — but that I wasn't the only one in this same situation trying to do this same damn thing.

I'm short on time, so you get a quick update.
Celeste was 3 months old over a week ago and I have yet to take her 3 month photos. Bad Daniel. Tonight, maybe. I hope.
From today until Monday we are buuuuuuuusy: Two dinner dates, two lunch dates, a nice little roadtrip with friends, a coffee gathering, [...]

I've been doing some research into High Speed Sync (aka Auto FP in the Nikon world) and its effects on maximum flash distance.
Essentially, in these High Speed Sync Modes, the Flash is staying "on" (actually, it's just pulsing really fast) for the entire time of the exposure. Despite the fact that with HSS, we're talking [...]

Radio Popper is the new kid on the block when it comes to wireless radio strobe triggers. In fact, they are so new you can't even buy the product just yet. But, when you can, the promise the difference will worth the wait. And I, for one, believe them.
There are basically two product types Radio [...]

I took today off as well knowing I would want to spend some time with Jess and Celeste to make up for the weekend as well as getting my bags unpacked, all my equipment cleaned, and my images at least mostly processed.� It's not starting off well.
First, I realized that my mobile blogging method wasn't [...]
