YOUR PHONE IS RUINING YOUR MEMORY

The science is out there: Your cell phone is ruining your memory… but don’t worry, thinking like a photojournalist when you take pictures can change all that.

GETTING SOME "CLARITY" ON PHOTOSHOP

Buckle up Photoshop CC users, this is going to be a bumpy ride.

GETTING SOME "CLARITY" ON PHOTOSHOP

Large Format

"THROUGH THE GROUND GLASS"

For quite a long time, I’ve been incredibly interested in getting into medium and large format photography. The unreal level of detail that this format can provide has always piqued my interest. Also, the sheer challenge of only getting one frame to get the shot perfect is really unlike anything I currently shoot.

Unfortunately for me right now, the cost to get into it is rather prohibitive (at least compared to my current situation shooting almost exclusively digital).

Thankfully there are awesome videos like this one (about large format landscape photographer Joe Freeman) to keep me occupied until my bank account can match my photography desires—Check it out:

Large format photographer Joe Freeman explores the Eastern Washington landscape in search of the right photo. Since the making of this film, he's quit smoking.

Here’s hoping I’ve got a long-lost relative somewhere with some large format gear for me to break into… but for now, I guess I’ll be taking the “large format state of mind” into my shooting—taking my time and making as few exposures as necessary to make the perfect image.
