A few (more) words on Apple’s iPad

A few (more) words on Apple's iPad

Everyone’s talking about the iPad right now. So I’m not going to pretend I have anything to add that hasn’t already been said at some point during the last 18 hours or so. But for what it’s worth, here’s my take:

This past year I moved my reading habit to my iPod Touch. I’m the first [...]

drive-by shooting (reprint from JPG Magazine)

It wasn’t premeditated. I didn’t wake up one morning and decide to drive around with a camera in my hand. I was just stuck in traffic one day, heading for a shoot with my camera bag right next to me on the passenger seat. While waiting at a red light I took out my camera [...]

Hope – televised.

Hope - televised.

A year ago today I was sitting in front of my television, watching history being made. A lot has changed since then and looking back,  it’s hard not to feel a tinge of sadness. Change is hard apparently.
To commemorate this day, I’m reposting through my plasma screen | a moment in history. It now all seems [...]

Professional photographer? there’s an app for that!

Not sure what it’s worth but here goes: ProPhoto . I’m thinking marketing gimmick – but it’s free. I’ll try it out on my iPod Touch later tonight.

FAKEZINES – Fake magazines. Real pictures

FAKEZINES -  Fake magazines. Real pictures

I love Redux Pictures. I love the photographers and I love the blog where they display the magazine articles and covers where their work appears. And since I’m not yet a part of that exclusive group (!) I decided to fake it.
Enter FAKEZINES –  Fake magazines. Real pictures.
The idea here is simply to put my [...]


A Tale of Two Papers from Luminous Landscape

Luminous Landscape compares Canson Infinity and Hahnemuhle Baryta papers:
A Tale of Two Papers
I’m a Hahnemuhle guy when it comes to baryta  (or Ilford’s excellent GFS) but now they have me interested in checking out Canson. And I thought the paper geek in me had settled ;-)

the case of aperture and the stratocaster

For the past year – and more so these past months – the debate has been raging around Aperture and Lightroom, mainly from AP2 users who feel abandoned by Apple. The silence surrounding a new version of the application has been deafening, forcing a lot of users into the arms of Adobe for many reasons [...]


artist site

artist site

Alright, so I have this blog and my corporate site. Fine. So how about an artist site?
I’ve just launched laroquephoto.com which is just that. A selection of big pictures, nothing else. I built it using flash because I wanted a quick way to allow scaling on any screen. But to be honest I’d rather use [...]


The new iMac and Aperture: quite a difference

The new iMac and Aperture: quite a difference

Just before Christmas I received a new 27 in quad-core i7 iMac loaded with 8gb of ram. For those wondering about the performance gains in Aperture all I can say is: night and day. Working in Aperture 2.1.4 after the SL upgrade had become an exercise in frustration, making my work tedious and my temper… [...]

2010 - the future now

I was reading a tech article a few weeks ago about something due to come out in 2010. It took a few seconds for my brain to register that this was around the corner and not some far away future …
So here we are, with dreams of tablets and software and stuff we haven’t even [...]


Aperture 3: others chiming in

Aperture 3: others chiming in

From The Apple Blog:
