As you're reading this, I am marching around Sonoma County with several other like-minded photographers. I'm on a workshop with Derrick Story on the "other side of the table" as it were - I'm a student. And I'm loving it.
It's the second day and it's already been so much fun. I have barely scratched the set of photos I've taken thus far. Rest assured you'll be seeing several of them in the coming weeks on the blog and my other social feeds.
The photo here I took during a workshop I hosted in San Diego last April. Our first night we had a great sunset. I liked the silhouetted line of my group on the rocks above the ocean, taking in the last bits of evening color. Sweet memories...
Technical Details:
- Sony A7R w/ FE 16-35mm F4 ZA OSS
- f/8 @ 17mm, 1/80 sec, ISO 800

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
