What I’ve Been Doing Since I Left Kelby Media (and a Big Announcement!)
Hey everyone. I've been getting a lot of questions lately on how things are going, what I'm up to, where I'm training, etc... So I thought I'd catch everyone up on what's been going on in the last year, since I made the move to ON1. First, I Didn't Move to Portland...
5 Mostly Cheap Landscape Photography Gifts to Treat Yourself To This Holiday Season
Okay I'm taking a totally different spin on the holiday gift list here. What I realized is that my wife doesn't read the blogs and websites I read. So when I read about all these photography gift lists out there, and the 12-days of Christmas emails I get - she doesn't...
My First 60 Days with the Sony A7R II
Well, I’ve been shooting and posting photos with the Sony Alpha camera for just over a month now. I’ve gotten a ton of questions about it, so I figured a blog post was due. It seems you find a new “Why I Switched to Sony” review and blog post every other day. Best I...
Why I Love Lightroom’s New Import Dialog!
UPDATE: I'm very sad to say that the latest Lightroom update has rendered this post useless. If you haven't tried the new (and better in my opinion) Import dialog, you never will. My "New Import Lovers" club that I speak of below is now closed and not accepting new...

Big News! ON1 Photo 10 Announced
It doesn't get much bigger over at ON1. Long before I was there, each year around this time, ON1 announced the newest version of their apps. So I'm really proud to say that Photo 10 is now official. This is a really cool time for me to see because I feel like I had a...

Landscape Photography with the Tamron 15-30mm Wide Angle Lens
One of the most popular blog posts on this site is my review/thoughts on the Tamron 24-70mm lens. Well, a few weeks ago I got a hold of the new Tamron 15-30mm (Amazon Link / B&H Photo Link). I used it the entire weekend while teaching/shooting with one of my Tampa...
