Photo Rights (Repost from Petapixel)
Knowing your photo rights is incredibly important. although I have yet to be stopped for taking photos, I want to be prepared in case it happens. Websites like Carlos Miller’s documents inappropriate law enforcement activity and the huge misconceptions about photography in public. The biggest misconception: photographing federal buildings is illegal. Think about it this [...]

Review: Spider Holster System
Since starting up in the world of photography, I’ve always been a big supporter and fan of having a camera bag that doesn’t look like an obvious camera bag, which is why I love my Complete Seed with Photo Bucket and my 6-Million Dollar Home. That being said, I also really like having my camera [...]

Engagement Photos: SolAmanda
Nevermind the ever-present question of why you would need engagement photos – I don’t really understand it entirely. But Sol and Amanda wanted some engagement photos done, and they were willing to feed me charlottesville food in exchange. nice trade, eh?

Food: Dutch Oven Baked Sesame Bread
A variation I’ve been wanting to try since baking the first loaf from Ratio is a sesame bread. I used the same basic recipe, but then coated the proofed dough with water and covered it with untoasted sesame seeds (which I got for a great price at Buon Italia in chelsea market).

Photo: DIY Lightbox
As I get more and more into photography, I went from the kit lens to the more high-end lenses (f 2.8 100mm USM macro and f2.8 24-70L), then I went to get the flashes (first a 430ex, then a 580exii). Now that I have the “essential” hardware, I wanted some light modifiers. It started with [...]
