Rich Mogull on Apple Pay
Writing for Macworld, my friend Rich Mogull explains Apple’s new Apple Pay system for making secure digital-wallet transactions.

Raw vs JPEG in Photoshop, a Practical View
While I was traveling last week, Lynda.com published an article of mine that looks at the (digital) age-old question of whether to shoot in Raw or JPEG format. Often this topic is pitched as a fight, and because photographers on the Internet are photographers on the Internet, people draw battle lines and argue. The reality, ...

Bourbon Shot Shot
I needed an example photo for an upcoming article, so I tried my hand at photographing a shot of bourbon (Bulleit). I never realized until now that the shot glass is uneven. Best part: It was the reward at the end of the work day!
