I’d like to step back into time to the day that I fell head over heels for you, and when you had me at hello. It was the summer, and I was walking around Greenwich Village. On the High Line, I decided to try a new feature on an Olympus camera. Then when you appeared, my head did a tilt–you know, like that special tilt that you see in cinema when a ravishing subject enters a room. We walked around together while people watching, sharing coffee, Italian pasta dishes and somehow avoided the scent of NYC’s garbage in the summer. We went home together, spent time together on the web, and then we called it a night. Since then, my feelings for you have never waned.

After announcing the new Olympus OMD EM1X earlier today, the Olympus M.Zuiko Digital ED 150-400mm F4.5 TC1.25x IS PRO is being announced in an effort to really bring extra support to the new audience that …
When I first got word of the Olympus OMD EM1X, it was through reading rumors on the web. But they turned out to be true–and I’ve got very mixed feelings about that. This camera has a lot going for it in the form of fantastic ergonomics, weather sealing that I’ve never seen thus far in a camera, dual cards slots, and the addition of AI in the camera designed to help the photographer. One should think of this camera as the Olympus OMD EM1 Mk II on steroids as it is designed to be a great option for those who are heavily invested into the system and who do their job with it. But then there are a lot of things that really make me scratch my head.
Full Frame cameras can be quite expensive to purchase, and that’s one of the main reasons why a lot of first time buyers opt to go with a DSLR or Mirrorless camera that has an APS-C sensor. There’s absolutely nothing wrong with that at all as there are some fine APS-C cameras on the market, but there are some Full Frame gems out there that cost right around $1,000 that will beat most APS-C offerings when it comes to overall image quality, and low light performance. If you’re looking to step up from an entry level APS-C camera, or are looking to buy your first camera, these Full Frame bargains are worth a look at.

Smoke bomb photography has exploded in popularity lately.

I think that the love affair with street photography and everything about it is fantastic when the photographer shooting puts the camera to their eye and captures a moment that has good intent behind it. Anything else and everything else I think isn’t acceptable; and the idea of empathy for your subjects should be expanded to what the long term effects of the image may have on a person–to that end one should think about whether hurting someone else’s reputation is worth Reddit Karma, Instagram likes, etc. But unfortunately, even though there are loads of tutorials online about street photography, there isn’t a single tutorial on how to have empathy for others or on ethics. For far too long, the community has pretty much mandated common sense.
