Only 3 weeks until the Summer Olympics opens in Beijing. The coverage will start to inundate the airwaves, website, and every other screen.

In a country with over 1.4 billion people, the diversity and experience of the […]

Special word for today’s giveaway is “HOLGA”. Shocking, I know.. Details below.
Of course you’ve heard about the Holga. Just the coolest low tech film camera around.
And since it’s all plastic, a lightweight wonder also.
There is a cult built around this camera and if you’ve never put your hands on one, here […]

Recently we told you about the reprinting of this visual journey through the United States by Robert Frank in the 50’s.
It was such a departure from the photographic styles of the time, that he couldn’t find a publisher in the states. In Paris, there was a company that took a shot and brought to […]

Of course we just did a review, so it’s only fitting that we send one of this excellent tool, complete with bundled software for you.

The Wacom Bamboo Fun tablet.
We’ve discussed some of the cool working features of this pen/tablet/wireless mouse combo, and a bit of the software you get: Photoshop Elements, Corel Draw, […]

The good folks at Crumpler have come up with another fine item in their bag line.

Photo Studio Set recreation, using Georg Hurrells original Camera at the California Heritage Museum
The glamour of the screen actors from the beginning of the cinema in Hollywood, will be remembered not only by their immense bodies of work, but the photographs of George Hurrell.
Shooting on an 8×10 view camera, he captured all of the […]

It’s not Grand Theft Auto, but you should be aware of all things around you when you’re shooting on the street. No need to advertise that you have thousands of dollars worth of gear hanging on your shoulder. Of course your camera may give it away, but if want to be a little less conspicuous, […]

While at the Gregory Crewdson lecture at the Hammer Museum last week, we got a signed copy of his new book Beneath The Roses for you. This is a large one with plates measuring 14.5″x 9.5″ and the overall book dimensions of 16.3 x 11.7.

We only mention size because that is a hallmark of his […]

Around the corner from our apartment in Passaic, NJ, there was a store that was a called a “5 & 10″. So named for the cost of the items they carried. Everything from toys, housewares, and some hardware. A mini department store.
Now, I never found the 5 cent items, except candy, but there were a […]

The photograph tells the story. Everytime.
It’s not the articles, musings, reviews. They may help explain a modus operandi, a back story, a behind-the-scenes look.
Last week at the Hammer museum in Westwood California, Larry Fink regaled us with the tales of his life. We learned about the town he lives in, his politics, his […]

I told that we picked something up for at the exhibit last night. Now, it’s Martin Shoellers book of celebrity photographs, called Close Up ,which is pretty cool in itself, as the Female Bodybuilders has yet to be published in book form.

Actually the title of one of my favorite George Harrison songs. A light tune with a serious message.
But there is a slightly more serious anthropological bent here in this weeks choice of giveaway. As we have, perhaps, sufficiently distanced ourselves from the indulgences of the holiday season, and the world economy helps give us pause […]

Last week we posted a video about a camera bag called a ShootSac. When we first saw it at PhotoPlus, conceptually it worked. A strong bag for using on the go at an event. And it could be made to appear unobtrusive.
