Aperture 3: big things, little things.

It’s been a verrrrry long time coming. But having spent the past hour playing around with the new version of Aperture, all I can say is: thank you. My stubbornness feels completely repaid.
This upgrade adresses everything that was lacking and adds a ton of features, big and small. It’s as though Apple actually read every [...]
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 [...]

To commemorate this day, I’m reposting through my plasma screen | a moment in history. It now all seems [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
the orbis arm

When I purchased the Orbis ring flash last summer one thing was immediately clear: it needed a way to stay attached to the camera without the need for constant handholding. There was already an accessory in the works promising to do just that. A few weeks ago it finally started shipping.

defining style, defining yourself.

If you’ve never seen the following video by photographer and blogger Zack Arias do it now. I’ll wait.
If you’re like me and every artist I know you’ve just felt instant kinship with Zack’s “problems”. Funny how we think we’re pretty special and yet… we’re all exactly the same aren’t we?
I watched Apple’s Meet the Expert [...]

This is unexpected: I just won second place in the Faces of Canada – People category of Vistek’s Capture Canada contest. As of this writing it’s not public yet so consider this a scoop ;-)
Here’s the winning photo (which you might recognize from another post):
