Read My Guest Post About Continuity Backups at OWC

by

Other World Computing (OWC) recently asked me if I’d like to write a guest post on their blog. OWC make SSDs and memory for Macs, as well as RAID solutions and various USB and Thunderbolt docks. I’m an OWC customer myself (check out my recent OWC Mercury Elite Pro Dock review), and have been for over a decade, so I took them up on the offer to reach their audience with some of my own experience as a creative professional. The topic I chose: Continuity Backups. If you don’t know what this phrase means, I think you need to read

Let Me Tell You About My Unexpected Life

by

This year I had the great pleasure of working with Whistler Blackcomb on a short film project as one of the subjects their Choose to Be film series. This series of six videos explores the lives of people that in the Whistler valley, and the choices they made that defined their lives.

Huge thanks to my good friend Jeff Thomas for

by

I’ve always been a huge fan of Really Right Stuff support gear so I was thrilled to be asked to contribute to the latest issue of their magazine. If you’re a previous customer than you probably already had a print copy of this land on your doorstep at some point, and if not, you can download a copy for free on this page. Hope you enjoy the insights! PS. Over on Shutter Muse last month, I wrote one of the longest gear comparisons that I’ve ever tackled. I compared every single Really Right Stuff ballhead, levelling head and gimbal! Check

New Recommended Gear Page at B&H

by

By now you guys know that I often work closely with B&H Photo to borrow gear for testing purposes, and sometimes to bring you great deals on all kinds of camera equipment. I have a pretty international audience on this site and what I like about B&H is how easy they make international ordering. Here in Canada, shipping is free for orders over $100, and they let me pay the tax and duties during the ordering process so I know what my final total is going to be. I can’t speak for the process in all other countries, but I

Drobo Explore Adventure Photography Contest Winner

by

I’m a little bit late posting this piece of news, but I’m very pleased to tell you guys about it none the less. I’m a long time user of Drobos for storing my photo archives, and this summer they ran an adventure photography contest which seemed right up my alley! I’m happy to say that the image I entered took home the top prize.

A self portrait

Instagram Takeover for MindShift Gear

by

I recently did an Instagram Takeover on the MindShift Gear Instagram page and I thought I’d share the images and descriptions here with you guys as well. My simple aim for the series of images was to show a small variety of my work, and also talk about which MindShift Gear products helped me in those specific instances. Over the past few years, several of MindShift’s carrying solutions have become an integral part of my work.   Day 1 Hey folks!

Throughout my career, I’ve always put a lot of time and effort into maintaining an active blog full of useful information and stories about my work.

Best Divi Site Designs Feature on Winning WP

by

Not too long ago, my website was featured by the makers of my favourite WordPress themes, Elegant Themes, as one of the top 25 sites using the Divi framework.  For those that don’t know, WordPress is a powerful website platform that’s free to use, but it requires a “Theme” to be used to take care of the look of the site.  That’s why not all WordPress sites look the same.  I use a theme from Elegant Themes called Extra, and it’s built on their incredible Divi framework that allows massive amounts of customizations to be carried out by regular Joes like
