Bard Rescue
Sprung from the castle’s jail, the Bard leaves with his rescuers. But are they as friendly as they let on? This is a photo from my latest book, in a chapter about making stop-motion animations. It was 2 am and I felt like being creative. If you like the work I do, please consider signing ...

Photographers and Fort Builders
Photographers make good use of equipment. A light stand makes a great central post for a living room fort. (It has a smaller footprint than a tripod.) I recommend all parents take up photography!

Apply Styles from the Keyboard in InDesign
A quick, in-the-weeds-of-book-production post: I’m an oddity among book authors in that most of my books are written directly into layout.

Multnomah Falls
Working on a big, seemingly impossible deadline, so I’m taking occasional refuge away from words and processing photos. During the Oregon Wonders Photo Workshop I attended last fall, one of our stops was beautiful Multnomah Falls (and breakfast at the lodge there). It’s hard to find a shot that hasn’t been captured by thousands of ...

Bentley Ad Shot on iPhone 5s, Assembled on iPad
Bentley’s new luxury car includes iPads built into the back seating area (which use Bluetooth keyboards and rise automatically—perfect for the executive blogger who’s stuck in traffic while being chauffeured). To keep with the spirit, the company shot the commercial below using iPhone 5s and assembled the footage using those built-in iPads. A quick behind-the-scenes ...
