The slow, inexorable decay Just took delivery of a used Panasonic GH2 from fellow photog John Griggs, aka Entropic Remnants. He’s moving away from Micro Four Thirds to Fuji X, so I took the GH2 off of his hands for a fair price. I now have two GH2s and will use them primarily for video.…

Took the Nikon V1 to the Central Jersey Jazz Festival. Last year it was the Somerville Jazz Festival, but they’ve teamed up with New Brunswick now and have beefed up their lineup and marketing. This year’s crowd was much bigger, but it was still a really fun, low key event, with everyone sitting in camp…

I’m currently down in Hatteras NC (OBX) with a 2013 Hyundai Sonata Hybrid. Hyundai was kind enough to loan us the car for a one week review, and our first thought was, “let’s put some miles on this puppy.” So we filled the tank in NJ and 13 hours and 481 miles later we were…

Nikon’s been in the news a bit lately, primarily because of it’s reduced forecasts and admission that their 1 Series cameras aren’t doing as well as they had hoped. That’s really a shame, because I’m really warming up to the V1. Go figure. On my last trip, the V1 was paired with the Pentax K-5,…

[Sorry for the long gap between posts.It’s been a busy summer with motorcycle stories among other things.] A couple of years ago I bought an Apple iPad 2 stuffed with the maximum 64GB of memory to backup my photographs when on the road. With the optional camera connection kit (two white dongles that let you…

You know that copy of Epyx’s Summer Games for the Apple II? I’m here to confess that the game that kept me up late way past my bedtime in 1982 was a pirated copy. That’s right, I somehow got a hold of the tools to unlock the awesomeness of the game (and the superlative graphics)…

A Pentax K-5 with the DA* 50-135mm F2.8, a Panasonic GH1 with the 100-300mm F4.0-5.6, and the Pentax Q with the 02 Zoom were used to create these photos. Can you guess which is which?

I’m a bit of a contrarian, tacking left when the rest of the world is tacking right. Sometimes there’s a valid reason for my contrarian views and sometimes it’s because I don’t like crowds much I think. So if you’ve spent any time in online photography circles, you’ll see that most serious practitioners of the…

I brought a Panasonic LX7 and a Pentax Q to a recent automotive press event where I got to test drive a number of electric and hybrid cars (along with some hooning in a Miata and wicked looking matte grey Hyundai Veloster Turbo). A Nissan GTR, Chevy Camaro Hot Wheels Edition, Cadillac CTS-V and a…

[I’m starting a new thing – The Sunday Pulpit – where I stretch my writing a bit. Please note that I can’t guarantee it will be every Sunday. Nor can I guarantee that I’ll stretch too far.] We all know how demanding pros can be of their gear. They require the ultimate in image quality…
