The iPad Challenge: Day 4
May 3, 2010 - No comment
Continuing the "iPad Challenge", today I'll look at how Photographers can use the iPad to make their lives easier (this is a photography blog afterall). (I have to apologize for not posting this article on the actual day 4, we got very busy here at the studio.) My goal over the last several months was to simplify my life. Long before the iPad was even released, I knew how it could be a valuable tool in running my business as a photographer. While I'd love to be shooting every single day of the year,...

The iPad Challenge: Day 3

The iPad is a great tool for business and life. Though I have spoken very highly of the iPad in my first three posts in this "iPad Challenge", there are several missing features of the iPad. A Camera We knew from the day of the initial iPad announcement that it wouldn't have a camera, but all I can say is "WHY? APPLE WHY?". It just doesn't make sense that Mr. Jobs would leave a camera out of this great device. I'm not the only one thinking this - writers throughout the blogosphere and in traditional,...

The iPad Challenge: Day 2

The "iPad Challenge" has been an experience for me so far. While this challenge is only in its second day, I've almost exclusively been using the iPad as my "primary computing device" since Saturday when I purchased it. The iPad has become an valuable tool for me (and a constant distraction for my staff who just can't get over the cool factor) and it's not just the hardware that makes it that way. Over the last several years, Apple has built a solid reputation for being innovative in the physical...

The iPad Challenge: Day 1
April 7, 2010 - 1 Comment
Yesterday was the first official day of my little, "iPad Challenge". I have to say, I don't feel like I actually worked! I've been using the iPad since Saturday night; you kind of expect the novelty to wear off after a couple days, but it hasn't and I'm not sure that it will. I started the day off early, about 6AM, yesterday. As I rolled out of bed, I reached for the iPad which was charging on my night stand to see if any important emails had come in over night. Nothing pressing. I jumped into...

The iPad Challenge
April 5, 2010 - No comment
First, I must admit. I'm an Apple Geek. Second, I must admit. I strayed from Apple for several years. I grew up with the Apple II computers. The Apple II, The Apple II+, The Apple IIgs. They weren't cool, but that's what we had at home, and at school. I was such a geek that I started learning Apple Basic just so I could write my own programs for it. They were clunky, they had huge FLOPPY drives that somehow I used to always corrupt. You remember them. Then one day my Santa Claus dropped...

AirTran to offer WiFi on all flights.
May 14, 2009 - No comment
It's no secret, I fly AirTran as much as I possibly can. There's two main reasons: 1) When I'm traveling, I want it to be as fast and easy as possible and don't want to deal with NYC crowds at the airport (whereever I may be). AirTran's terminals usually aren't as crowded as Jet Blue and the other" discount carriers", and; 2) I can't stand small seats, crying babies and waiting in line to get on the plane. I almost always fly business class and would never charge a client for my "luxuries" (hence...

AT&T Wireless to up over-the-air bandwidth to 21Mbps?
April 21, 2009 - No comment
Popular Mac Enthusiast and Rumors website, MacRumors.com reported today AT&T is in the process of doubling its standard 3G wireless network bandwidth from 3.6Mbps download to 7.2Mbps. They report (with sources such as Telephony Online) that this is a stepping stone while they upgrade their entire network to a new HSPA+ technology which could allow up to 21Mbps download. That's a larger pipe that most corporate office internet connections.

I wonder how many photographs were created while you watched this video? Or how many were uploaded to a social media network during the course of you watching this video? Thanks to Scott Berens for sharing this video.

Another great podcast for photographers
December 16, 2008 - 1 Comment
When I first wrote my article/review on "Podcasts for Photographers" last week, I included only podcasts that I have been listening to for a while. I had been familiar with this new (they're only on their 56th episode) podcast, but at that point had only listened to one episode. Now that I've listened to 5 episodes, I can readily and wholeheartedly add "This Week In Photography" to my list of Podcasts for Photographers. The hosts of "This Week In Photography" aren't your average Joe-Podcasters....

Professional Photographer Magazine reviews CaptureOne 4 Pro
December 10, 2008 - No comment
I own a PhaseOne digital back, but I'm still not sold on CaptureOne 4 Pro for my studio's workflow. While many complain about the interface, I'm more concerned about the functionality and stability. In our studio, we have chosen not to upgrade our production systems to Leopard because a few key pieces of the software we use on a daily basis are not ready for primetime on Leopard. One of those was CaptureOne until the most recent release, but still we're not sold. Here's Professional Photographer...
