Sonya
Meet Sonya, the Alpha 7 mirrorless camera system from Sony. I managed to grab her, an extra battery, charger, two 128GB memory cards and a Lacie all-terrain mobile 1TB hard drive. Now I need to think about a new photography work flow.

Cryptocurrency
After researching the hell out of it and posting about altcoins, I finally invested a small sum to see how this plays out. It will be either a fun lesson learned or a wise investment. Who knows?

More or Less
Regarding my previous post about consumerism and the idea that we have to have more and more, I believe that less is actually more. The more you have, the less productive you can become. I’ve learned this the hard way and spent a lot of…

Minimal & Maximal Design
I’ve always been fascinated with design, especially design that invokes an audible “ooh.” My first, impressionable experience was watching a Lamborghini Countach rocket past a highway patrol car in the movie “Cannonball Run.” Here are some examples of next-level design, engineering, aerodynamics, technology, magnificent and…

Zine v.2
I just published Photo Denbow Zine volume 2, Neon Nights. It is now available for download in a 1.2MB sized .pdf format. For best viewing, I suggest opening in Apple Books or a PDF reader. Below is Volume 1.

The Future of Digital Currency
If I stopped to think about it, and I have, most of my money is digital. My paycheck is directly deposited to my account. My transactions are digital. I frequently pay for goods and services with the flick of the Apple Watch and the built-in…

Crypto Denbow
I missed out on Bitcoin and not investing early. One BTC currently equals $59,263.01. Same with Ethereum. 1 ETH currently = $4,543.21. So, I will slowly invest in lower, more affordable tokens instead. To be honest, the money I invest in these digital currencies will…

Volume 1
A few months ago I wrote about my own publishing house and how much fun I was having. Even more recently I mentioned that I wanted to branch out by creating digital photo zines. After jumping on a Black Friday deal, I finally decided on…

Home Screen Share
Ten years ago was the last time I reviewed my top ten phone apps, and so much has changed over the past decade. The most significant change for me was switching from Android to Apple. I dropped all Google products and software a while back…

Young & Dumb
What was I thinking ten years ago? What’s funny to me is I now have a deconstructed iPhone 4 mounted on the wall on display. This makes me wonder what else I am currently wrong about and what to change.

Microfiction
Long-form writing is becoming a lost art during these days of short attention spans. With all the media content available to us, our time feels limited, so we want to maximize our consumption time. Blogs have been taken over in favor of quick social media…

Show Your Work
This is a thought coming from myself, here in the minority: if you are a photographer sharing your images on Instagram or Facebook, stop. Too often have I wanted to see someone’s work only to be redirected to IG. I can’t see your work. I…

Digital Photo Zines
Recently I expressed an interest in creating photo magazines with images and text. I really do believe that it is one aspect of the future of digital photography I don’t want to miss out on. So I downloaded InDesign from Adobe as a trial and…

Watch Out
I love my Apple Watch. My Apple Watch, Chronos, can also be annoying. Apple Watch’s Fitness app encourages me to close three rings; the Move ring, which indicates calories burned while moving. The Exercise ring for your activity, and the Stand ring to encourage you…

Crypto Photo Denbow
Do you own a Photo Denbow original? In the not-too-distant future we’ll see more cryptocurrency usage as well as the purchases of NFTs. What does that mean for photography and photographers? Getting paid. There is a massive market for digital artwork now, and getting paid…
