When someone just has it right there is no need to say more but, there is a need to spread the word.

The bokeh is unappealing, camera flare unfocused, not to mention that the highlights are blown away and the main subject, for all intents and purposes, is not even in focus. Ok, enough of the techie crap. I remember a day when I started photographing and would have hurled this slide straight to the garbage, as it did not live up to my standard and quest to create the "PERFECT IMAGE". At that time

As photographers we all struggle to gain control over light, exposure, and composition all on a never ending quest to make the perfect image...in the end, only being truly happy with those little honest mistakes that just seem to claim themselves as art (thank God you were the one that released the shutter) and we are then comforted in our egos by the effort put forth in getting us to that

...over a Makers Mark I sat down with "These United States", like hooking up with that friend you have not seen in a million years it was like no time had passed and we just picked up where we had last left off. Collectively "These United States" is a band made up of multi-talented musicians with roots spread from Illinois to Kentucky. Based out of the D.C area, these guys lay down a straight

On the cusp of Halloween night was the 40th anniversary of the Detroit legendary rock group MC5. In the stream of a new documentary currently being filmed to honor MC5, a "To the Day" blow out bash was held at the Crofoot Ball Room in Pontiac Michigan. Featuring 18 local groups consisting of new sounds in music from Detroit bands like "Lies Unknown" on through national spotlight acts like "The

Sometimes you stare at the lights and you are blinded, others, you are swept into a time of contemplation, emotion or awe. While photographing the recent Joe Satriani concert at the Royal Oak Music Theater in Royal Oak Michigan, I stared into the lights and was blown away. Shifting gears, these days, in an attempt to expand my photography and the portfolio I am developing; I can not figure why I

Have you been searching for a Quality 50mm 1.4 lens...are you a Nikon shooter? With the release of the new D700 DSLR and knowing Nikon's past history of "bait and switch" one may not need to much of a crystal ball to figure a re-vamp of prime lenses could be in the works.I have been hunting camera shops U.S wide and nobody has them in stock, they are all back ordered from Nikon. All though I

You have found yourself in down town Detroit, maybe you are starving or just looking for one quality brew and a GREAT HAMBURGER, There are many restaurants to choose from but, I am waiting for the invite to the place that thinks they can out do a Nemo's Burger. Nemo's Bar and Grill is located on Michigan Ave. just a block or so East of old Tiger Stadium. Opened in 1965 this bar has stayed in the

....an hour's flight from Kodiak City we lift into mornings low hung scattered clouds. Dodging our way through snow capped mountains sitting high over lush green alders dotted with purple splashes of Lupine growing vivid against the greenery. Between picturesque valleys, out across the Shelikof Straight. Calmly above whale spouts and salmon fisherman, a history is revealed. Dean, a float

Literally off the beaten trail…a couple hour's plane ride from land, or between 3-6 hours by ferry, you can find yourself surrounded by Lake Superiors deepest waters on one of the most pristine natural habitats found in the United States. Moose abound, Wolves can be heard at night and the occasional Fox may just trot with you as you blaze your way across the Greenstone Trail, better known as "The

You are in Michigan, maybe for a family visit possibly for an extended business trip. If you had some time to travel through out the state, one of many classic adventures would be a trip to Mackinaw City and the Mackinaw Bridge. A five hour drive from Detroit Metro Airport, with hotel reservation's and a weekend to burn you could visit some of Michigan's gem tourist locations including:1).

Nikon is releasing their new D700...the best pre-review can be found @ D-PreviewAn absolute main stay for quick new equipment information.For those who want the in-depth, never forget The Luminous Landscape A place I often visit just to keep myself humble.One of the things that hit me right off the bat on this seemingly cool new D700 is the fact that the CCD is calibrated to give a true 35 mm
