Times Square Has Changed
My buddy Geoff Fox grew up knowing Times Square for what it was back in the old days, “scuzzy strip of sleaze.” He’s a weatherman and fellow photographer, and over at his blog he reminisces about what Times Square was and how it has changed for what he thinks was for the worse. The posting is complete with photographs of the new Times Square.
In my honest opinion. I’ve always hated the place. You get bored of it pretty quickly when you’re a very young New Yorker. More photos of the Square after the jump. Be sure to check out Geoff’s blog posting as well.
Hands On Review: Panasonic ZS-7
Last week, the Panasonic folks invited me over for some personal fondling time with their cameras. The ZS-7 stood out the most to me because of the feature set and the types of cameras that the readers of this blog usually use (even more so than the TS2.) Though it isn’t the LX3, it is still quite an advanced camera, quite a beauty and loaded with all sorts of bells and whistles. More on this all after the jump.
Panasonic Announces New Update to Lumix Line
Today, Panasonic announced an update to their Lumix camera line. Amongst the updates are the TS2 and the ZS-7, which I have had hands-on time with. The cameras have some brand spankin’ new features to the lines such as Intelligence Zoom and others (more on these in the hands on articles.) Target audiences and main specs after the jump.
Hands-On Review: Panasonic TS2
Panasonic’s new tough camera is seemingly quite the trooper. I got some personal fondling time with the TS2 recently with Panasonic’s invite. The camera seems to be quite impressive from my brief hands-on time with them. Tech specs, handling, etc after the jump.
Sexy New Pentax Cameras Are Sexy
Today, Pentax announced their new compacts including that gorgeous sexiness of a camera up above: the I-10. Others include the E90 and H90 which still have pretty nice specs as well. Target audiences, major specs and press releases after the jump.
#MusicMonday Irony of Chaos
When photographing bands for group shots, be sure to get one of these. Lay down on the ground and have the flash just shoot right up at them.
