Apple Watch: A Take Control Crash Course
In the time since Apple introduced the Apple Watch in September, I’ve fielded two questions many times: “Should I buy one?” and “Which one should I get?” Now I’m excited to announce that I’ve written a book that helps answer those questions and plenty more: Apple Watch: A Take Control Crash Course. But wait, the ...

Crumble & Flake Sunday Morning

Finding New Angles, Whether You Want To or Not
My family and I took the train to Portland, Oregon a couple weeks ago to visit friends for the long weekend. I didn’t pack for a photo trip, intentionally keeping it light: Fuji X-T1, 18-135mm lens (currently my only lens for the Fuji), and the usual complement of cords and spare batteries that I keep ...

Apple Ad about iPad Filmmaking Shot Using an iPad Air 2
Apple introduced a new commercial during the Oscars that touts the iPad as a video capture and editing platform. A voiceover by Martin Scorcese talks about being creative in a practical, this-is-work way. I never like the inspirational value of that phrase.
