Where is photography going? I don’t think the future will be camera bodies or lenses. How many megapixels do we need, honestly? I think we’ll see innovative photography displayed in more creative ways through software.
Forget social media, it’s dead. No, the future of photography will be publicized and displayed to enthusiasts and curators alike.
I’m looking at a few ideas for myself and to share with others. I want to create digital zines in PDF and send out to anyone and everyone who is interested. E-books and zines are innovative. Compare these to the analog zines that can be printed and distributed. Digital can go further and last longer. Now, I’m comparing two software providers for this, like Adobe InDesign or Affinity Publisher. Adobe is a pricey, monthly subscription, whereas Affinity is a one-time purchase. I’m leaning towards Affinity Publisher.
Another concept I’m looking at is displaying and/or buying Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs) More on this concept later as it will probably take on a post on its own.
Nothing like a glorious hike in the Fall. This was the first day we reset our clocks to standard time so we had to hit the trail at the right time. Then, to catch the early sunset (5PM), we drove through the Talimena scenic byway near the Arkansas border. Of course I had to bring a camera along.
I love photo walks. I love photo hiking. When I am hiking and see this wide open space of nature, it helps me thing in a different, more freeing and expansive way. Like my mind is open to possibilities and expansion.
Must find more opportunities to do this in the fall and winter to keep my brain active.
The thrill of seeing your images on an iPad, is a beautiful experience. This 5th generation Pro model, with the new Apple M1 chip is amazing. The speed, the screen, the 5G connectivity all combined to help me process and publish my images faster.
The mobile photo studio just got an upgrade today and I am loving the process. The experience of viewing, selecting and processing your photos on this thing is much more enjoyable than on my MacBook Pro (M1.)
Yeah, I gave the photo website a makeover again. This time I turned it into more of a photo blog instead of a portfolio. Chances are I will convert it back based on whatever whim I feel at the moment. But for now, you can check it out at PhotoDenbow.com
My approach to iPhone photography (phonetography) is unabashedly simple, minimal, and practical. Acquiring the best equipment, with little to carry, process everywhere I go, and publish on the go for me is best.
Yes, there are four items here, but the keyboard and pencil magnetically attach to the iPad, effectively making it only two pieces of gear I need to carry and one of them go in my pocket. This is the ideal setup for my mobile studio and photo lab to create the best phonetography images I want.
Apparently my latest photo passion is capturing those beautiful neon lights. The more unique the better to me. If you’d like to see these and more when I add to the collection, click here for my photo website, Photo Denbow.
Ever notice how the Photos app resembles a film negative contact sheet? I am amazed with the viewing experience from the iPad/iPhone/Mac and all the information that is built into it. My workflow is simple: Take images with the iPhone, let them sync to the cloud and they are visible on any device you want to view or edit. I can also shoot images on my digital camera, load the SD card into the reader, insert reader into my device and transfer there for post-processing.
Why do I prefer the iPad to do this with? First, the experience of viewing, choosing, and editing your photos on an iPad is much more fun and interactive than just seeing them on your laptop. I can take my digital photo lab with me everywhere. And seeing my photos on a brilliant screen is more intimate for me. I am able to hold my digital images in my hand and interact with them, flag, post-process, and even sketch the composition.
Today was a beautiful fall day and I didn’t want to stay home so we packed the cameras and headed east to smaller towns surrounding the Tulsa area like Chouteau, Pryor and Claremore, Oklahoma.
You would be surprised what there is to see in this great country within 200 miles of where any of us live. I don’t care what state or town

I hardly knew you, but you just weren’t enough for me to consider keeping you on. I had high hopes for a modern, lightweight, mirrorless camera but your interface and outdated, unsupported features that made you so appealing to me just wasn’t cutting it. The software was not supported for MacBook nor the bluetooth/wifi connectivity.
Low light shooting in Manual mode produced way too much noise and grain that I thought I was working with a Nokia 600 camera phone from the early 2000’s. I shouldn’t have to rely on your Scene modes that does the work for me. No thanks.
The good news is I still have Nadia, my ever faithful companion.
