New Direction
Welcome to my new look. How’d you like it? Functionally, it’s the same as before. You still get to abuse me in the comments section, though I now accept Facebook sign-ins so, maybe that’ll be easier. I’ve moved a few things around to focus less on my snaps and more on the tutorials. Now all…

Lower Antelope Canyon
You’ve now seen my multi-limbed goddess pictures taken in Lower Antelope Canyon, Page, Arizona. I thought I should show you the kind of images people usually take. So here for your viewing pleasure, is the Navajo sacred place known as Antelope. Enjoy and as a Facebook CFO would say, feel free to click an advert…

Fire Painting Class 101
I am delighted to announce that the Star Circle Academy was stupid enough to let me co-host another ‘light painting with fire’ event with Eric. We spent Friday night on the beach with a brace of fire lovers burning things and capturing the results in full color glory. Light painting is cool. Painting with fire…

Heavens Above – I’m in Photoble
Looks like I’ve made another list of lists kinda website. This picture is used in Photoble as one of 20 examples of long exposure. Colour me happy about it. It was one of the first real long exposure shots I took. The image is taken from Glacier Point, overlooking Half Dome at Yosemite National Park,…

Tutorial: Burning Aerosols Over a Naked Flame
Now you’ve seen the video of me playing with fire, and you read the article about how to make giant fireballs with cornflour, the obvious next question is, how do you burn aerosols such as hairspray? That’s what we’re going to answer to day. And be warned, this one gets hot. This is the picture…

I’m on Artists Wanted
I’ve no idea what Artists Wanted is. They tricked me. They lured me in by saying that I could get a photo on a billboard at NY Times Square. The next thing you know, I’ve got a website, and I’m entered in to something called OneLife. Anyway, do me a favor, visit the below pages…

Dancing with Flour
Thomas David recently made a storm of news by throwing flour around and capturing it as it danced. Seemed like a fine way of spending a Saturday night, so we did the same. Convincing Deanna to cover herself in flour and jump around was easier than you’d think. However, it’s taken her two trips to…

Antelope Gods (playing in Antelope Canyon)
The Native Americans that control Upper and Lower Antelope Canyon are (rightly) very restrictive about what they will and will not allow you to do in their spiritual places. The list of rules for photographers is long but the reality is that the place is run by really nice guys that really love cameras. The…

Birth and Death at Horseshoe Bend
Page Arizona is home to some stunning scenery. The town itself is a tad scary but the views make it well worth the long drive. Deanna and I ended a stunning day sat on the rim of nearby Horseshoe Bend, drinking wine and watching the sun go down. I then started the following day sat…

Nikon needs to fire someone
I had a dream that my D300 broke. Before I tell you about that, let me tell you what will happen when I break my iPhone. I see it clearly in my mind. I knock my 3Gs off the table, I reach for it, grasping the air. I almost make it but it slips from…

Tutorial: I finally ‘get’ flash!
Break out the freakin Champagne!! It’s only taken a year. On Wednesday I attended yet another off camera flash course. Just like all the others the presenter (who did a great job) talked about the inverse square law, about f-stops and just photo stuff. This time he said something that no ones else has ever…

Review (Fuji X-Pro1): Our Fuji X-Pro1 weekend in Calistoga
Ah Calistoga, home of the wine country, heart of Napa. Place where I drank beer. Oops. It’s a truly magnificent area. You should visit. We spent the weekend hiking with the new FujiFilm X-Pro1 brick. There I said it, it’s a brick. It’s a fabulous brick. It looks old-skool and it’s solid enough that you…
