In this interview, Photo Center’s Rafael Soldi and Jeffrey Goldstein discuss the in’s and out’s of discovering, developing and managing this [...]
100-Foot Wave Shredded By Fearless Surfer Garrett McNamara
Back in December I did a post on How to Surf the World’s Biggest Wave about Garrett McNamara’s amazing feat in Nazare, Portugal. In May 2012 McNamara surfed a 78-foot monster into the record books and the video went viral. Some people might have kicked back and pursued some couch surfing after that type of [...]
The Lumineers Perform ‘Ho Hey’ on chasejarvisLIVE at the Capitol Hill Block Party [2013 Grammy Nominees]
If you’re a regular reader you know that I’m a big Lumineers fan. They’ve been on my radar for a while and are one of my favorites right now. My friend John Richards from Seattle’s KEXP first brought The Lumineers to my attention. John, along with their manager Dave, gave me the head’s up that [...]

A Robot That Drives Your Camera — The Little Motion Control Dolly That Could
I stumbled on this gem via Kickstarter a week or two ago and reached out to my camera tech pal Sohail to get his take. In short, we cranked out this review in short order to give you a first look AND… I’ve got another prototype en route to my studio now to put it [...]
Holy Sheep – LED Artwork of Sheep Herding [Suspect]
In a virtual world full of fans, circles, followers and friends, today we celebrate the world’s greatest follower: the sheep. Consider: A clever group of Welsh hill farmers dress their flock of unsuspecting sheep up in LED lights and — with the help of some seriously talented/obedient/well-trained border collies — create moving art on a [...]
Fat versus Tall: Why Wide Design Is Catching On
Knowing how to deliver images that play nicely with the current design trends is paramount for any working photographer. But why does one orientation work better than another? My friend Sohail breaks it down in the article below: Horizontal versus vertical and why wide design is pervasive and catching on. Take it away Sohail. – [...]
Would You Die For The Photo? An Eerie Peek at War Photography
I’m no photojournalist – but I have huge respect for those men and women who put themselves in dangerous zones, risking their lives, to show the world some of its most important (horrifying) images. I’ve been asked before if I’d consider taking pictures in the line of fire and my answer is simple: Hell No. [...]
Nude Photos Prompt Apple to Remove 500px from iTunes App Store
Yesterday Apple abruptly removed the mega-popular 500px from the iTunes App store today citing the fact that users can search for photos that feature nudity. I caught up with 500px CEO and co-founder Oleg Gutsol for a comment: “Apple’s problem with the app is essentially that it was too easy to find nude photos by [...]

Given the response and discussion around last week’s post on the D600, I invited pal Ben Pitt back to share another hands on review of a camera that has been competing for eyeballs: the GH3. Since the introduction of the Lumix DMC-GH1 back in 2009, the GH-series’ has been gobbling up mindshare for photographers looking [...]
Snowshoe Art — Creativity Out in the Cold
There’s a magical impermanence to Simon Beck’s “Snow Art,” like low tide beach sculptures or Buddhist sand mandalas. Created using snowshoes and precise orienteering, these snow crop circles — which average 10 hours of focused, measured walking to complete — last only as long as the conditions favor them. A stiff breeze, a new snow [...]
