This story about the loss of Ivey Imaging is sad, but it was only a matter of time… Still, interesting anonymous quote about the profitability of film processing. Thanks everyone at Ivey…you guys were reliable and professional.

Epson Stylus Photo R2880 Announced
Posted in Photo News, tagged Epson Stylus Photo R2880, Epson, inkjet printer on May 27, 2008 | No Comments »
Great. Now I’m waiting for the 17″ wide version. I kind of hope HP does it first as I’ve heard good things about their machines and as importantly, their software. This is a little like cameras. A lot of fuss and bother about which one to buy… Epson is the leader for a reason but [...]
Photoshop is now online and free (somewhat)
Posted in Photo News, Workflow, tagged Adobe, Photoshop, Photoshop Express on March 27, 2008 | No Comments »
Adobe has been planning this move for a while now and here it is, Photoshop Express. Launched today as a beta, with paid subscriptions/features to come… Free for now, with a 2 GB limit. You’ll hit that limit pretty fast but you can keep your photos on other online services and just use the image [...]
Reichmann’s State of the Union Address
Posted in Photo News, Ramblings, tagged Reichmann, Luminous Landscape on February 6, 2008 | No Comments »
What I like about Michael Reichmann is that his work spans everything from galleries to commercial jobs to workshops, that he cares about photography, and that he understands and uses the right tool for the job. This gives him, and his opinions, a lot of context. I don’t always “agree” with what he says, but [...]
My debut in Popular Photography Magazine, March 2008
Posted in Make Better Photos, Photo News, tagged Pop Photo, Popular Photography, Tips from the Pros on February 4, 2008 | No Comments »
I’m pleased to announce that I’m writing a monthly column called “Tips from a Pro” in Popular Photography Magazine as of March 2008. The fun part is, it doesn’t feature my photography.
Yep, the cool thing for me is that I get to interview the photographer who created the feature photo and distill their technical and [...]

Posted in Photo News, Ramblings, tagged Canon, Canon 40D, Canon XSi, Nikon, Nikon D300, Olympus, Olympus E-3, Pentax, Pentax K20D, Samsung, Samsung GX-20 on January 24, 2008 | No Comments »
(Updated for discounted price on Canon 5D as of 1.24.2008)
A slew of new models announced just before PMA 2008: Pentax K20D, Samsung GX-20, Canon XSi. These cameras have the latest sensor designs and noise reduction systems and from what I’ve been seeing/reading, these are a solid step above the previous generation. What to do if [...]
Casio EX-F1 Digital Still/Video Camera
Posted in Camera Tech, Photo News, tagged Casio, Convergence, EX-F1 on January 6, 2008 | No Comments »
Here they come, the convergence cameras (still/video). Casio’s EX-F1 is apparently shipping. No idea if it’s any good, but it will be fun for the person who wants it all and wants the latest thing.
Galbraith’s Update on Canon 1D Mark III Autofocus Dec 2007 Edition
Posted in Camera Tech, Photo News, tagged autofocus, Canon, Canon 1D Mark III on December 11, 2007 | No Comments »
Apparently the story isn’t over yet. Somewhat amazing and it makes me wish I were an electrical or mechanical engineer so I could *really* understand the design choices made by Canon. Anyway, it’s too bad this is lingering. On the other hand, the 1D Mark III is still one heckuva a camera and most people [...]
Specialty Cameras: Sigma DP1 and Ricoh GR Digital
Posted in Camera Tech, Photo News, Ramblings, tagged Ricoh GR Digital, Sigma DP1 on November 30, 2007 | No Comments »
Given the complexity of building a digital camera that meets or exceeds the high standards of quality attained by major product offerings…bleah…let’s try this: it’s darn hard to build a good camera and Canon and Nikon just happen to make it look easy (even if you were expecting more from their final products). I mean, [...]
Canon 1D Mark III Autofocus… Story Continues
Posted in Photo News, tagged autofocus, Canon 1D Mark III Autofocus on October 31, 2007 | No Comments »
Rob Galbraith points out that all nine of their Canon 1D Mark IIIs had this high-temperature problem. Others I’ve heard of have or have not had this experience. Canon of course hints that it’s a minimum number of units. (We can thank our legal system and culture for the predictable, official obfuscation.) Meanwhile, in England, [...]
