This seems to be a common theme these days. Or vice versa – people switching from Canon to Nikon. I recently sold all of my Nikon equipment and bought a few Canon bodies. So you understand my analysis completely, here is what I sold/bought: Sold: Nikon D300, 70-200 VR1 2.8, 17-55 2.8, 11-18 4.5-5.6, 85 1.4, [...]

I had a cool opportunity to work with the Durham Board of Education last month. The project involved a group of grade 8 students writing journal entries about struggles that they are going through. Things like problems at home, body image, self esteem, pressure, etc. To visualize the project, they invited me into the school [...]

Every time I feel like my photo or video kits are complete, I manage to find some new toy to add to the extensive pile. This time it was an 85mm 1.4 Nikkor lens for my Nikon D300. I’m not sure where the urge to buy this lens came from, but I started thinking about it [...]
