An empty-sky day at Imperial Beach. I took this photo about an hour before the recording of the official launch of Photographers In Cars. Episode 001 was cut less than 100m from this beach. Have you checked out the new podcast? The audio feeds are in Apple Podcasts and Google Play, however I recommend watching it on YouTube. Later today I'm meeting up with Spencer for another podcast recording session.
But before that, I'm headed to the Salk Institute, an iconic building in San Diego. I've never truly been before. Getting a semi-private guided tour and everything. The institute is strict about photography - no commercial usage of photos, no tripods, etc. - so this will be a visit for the pure enjoyment of it. I'll take photos, of course... just for me. I will ask if blog posts and social media shares are OK.

Photography is ultimately about the photos. The software used to make them are our tools. I am often what photo software I use. To answer that… I need to give you a brief history of my photo software journey.
In my Live Edit videos, I process a photo I’ve never worked on before from start to finish. The bumps, missteps, and switchbacks are all part of the learning.
Finding several unique images within your existing photo is a great way to grow your eye for composition. You might have new, compelling photos hiding in plain sight.
Test your own filters for a color cast. All you need is a reference point and consistent lighting.
I get asked about my tripod spikes all the time. Finally another company is making a set like the ones I have.
Calibrating your monitor and printer can be a bit of a hassle. And you need equipment for it. Is it really necessary?
Not all printer drivers are created equal. You could be missing out on important controls and settings for your photo prints.
How fast are my photo edits? Turtle slow... and I've got reasons for that
