My Predictions of Changes in Cameras Coming True
Those of you who have spent time with me on our Invitational Photo Tours know that I’ve been predicting that future cameras will be missing the traditional mirror designs we’ve all been shooting the past 50+ years. I’ve been talking about this for over two years now. The new technology… Read More »
Capturing an Image and Post-Processing
The image below was first run as part of my final post for our Arctic Documentary Project in Svalbard/Spitsbergen, Norway. It’s kind of buried in the main blog so I though I would pull this out for easier reading. The key elements I used to create this image include the… Read More »

July 20, 2011 Our trip from Montana was uneventful – though flying anymore I find literally painful. When Tanya and I travel overseas we always plan to arrive at least a day early, ideally two or even three. Acclimating to a new time zone slowly can make all the difference… Read More »
