New Article: MyPhotostream Review at TidBITS
Over the weekend I published a short review of MyPhotostream at TidBITS, a simple application on the Mac that lets you view your iCloud Photo Stream photos without having to open iPhoto or Aperture (the only official methods for viewing them on a Mac). I like the app’s approach, although it has some interface oddities. ...

New Article: Become a Better Photographer This Year
I enjoyed writing this latest article for Lynda.com, which came about from a question asked by a friend. “What can I do to be a better photographer?” is something I think we all ask. The quick and easy answer is to buy a new camera, but that doesn’t necessarily make you a better photographer; it ...

Two Book Excerpts: The Connected Apple Family and Photoshop Elements 13

Article: Portable Power Options
My latest column for the Seattle Times looks at power—specifically how I found a few gadgets useful during the holiday break for charging devices. I also mention the WD My Passport Wireless, which was quite useful for backing up the photos I captured while out of town. Read it here: More device power and storage ...

Getty Cactus
I’m having a great holiday outside my usual haunts, this time in sunny (but surprisingly chilly, by Southern California standards) Los Angeles. I’ve had several opportunities to capture photos, which is reinvigorating that part of my brain that’s spent far too much time this autumn and winter in front of computer screens and not enough ...

Christmas Silhouette
I spent part of today traveling to visit relatives for the holiday and part of it going over a photo shoot from last week. This photo was captured using pretty much just the light from the Christmas tree. A few small decorative garlands with lights were also set up, but this was in a big ...

Holidays Are for Proofreaders
After we mailed our holiday cards last year, my wife decided to order a stamp for our return address instead of printing and affixing stickers. The stamp arrived, we put it into a drawer, and forgot about it until it was time to do this year’s cards. After we received our cards this time around, ...

MacVoices Appearance about the Connected Apple Family
Last week I appeared on Chuck Joiner’s excellent MacVoices podcast to talk about my latest book, co-written with Dan Moren, The Connected Apple Home: Discover the Rich Apple Ecosystem of the Mac, iPhone, iPad, and AppleTV. As always it was fun to be on Chuck’s show, and we talked about how Apple’s devices are converging ...

Review: WD My Passport Wireless Hard Drive
Ever since I started writing the first edition of The iPad for Photographers, one aspect of the process has been a sticking point: image backup. I know, that sounds like the most boring part of being a photographer, but it’s also vitally important. Importing photos onto the iPad for review is one option, but it ...
