Dirty Santa
Material possessions have ruined what used to be known as the most wonderful time of the year. Why are we so miserable and feel pressured to find that gift that someone had put on a long list of “wants?” Ol’ Saint Nick went corporate and…

Photographic Memories
After organizing decades and terabytes worth of images recently, I realized that I rarely take time to appreciate these images. I have thousands of images of my daughter, but I never look at them. They are stored in the dark, collecting digital dust. I want…

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…

Keep On
Keep wondering. Keep wandering.

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.

MORE PHOTOGRAPHY PRODUCTIVITY
SIMPLIFY YOUR PHOTO WORKFLOW WITH THESE SUGGESTIONS. .jpg for daily snapshots, .dng for the keepers. Take it from someone who has been shooting RAW images, these files take up a lot of hard drive space. RAW files are slow to transfer from one location to…

Limitations
My creativity and imagination for starting a novel or short story is stifled now. I can’t write unless I have thought it through and can see the whole story in my mind. I need to sum up the whole in three paragraphs until I can…

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…

Aero Denbow
This is my first flight since pre-pandemic times and I couldn’t be happier. Travel, exploring, getting away is all in my nature. Every time I am in an international airport I fight the urge to upgrade my flight to go anywhere else. Next stop: everywhere.…
