To me, minimalism is simply about focus – not camera focus, but focus on a single idea. Thinking about ONE thing – forcing my mind to go into almost a meditative state and zeroing in on one important theme or subject. Being careful and deliberate with all my choices – that’s part of the hallmark of minimalism for me.

I’m slightly more than half way through my experiment with using my iPhone 13 Pro as my main camera. I committed to one year back in November of 2021. What have I learned? I think that in most cases – for most people – it’s all the camera you need.
That line is from the new TOP GUN sequel and no doubt, one of my “friendly” followers saw […]

I am working with a gallery – (more on that later) to do a show of my iPhone images and when I mean show I mean gallery-quality, big prints. 30 to 40 inches on the longest side – and yes – from an iPhone.
Camera straps. You either love em or hate em. But there are times when it’s hard to deny that they sure make things easier if you need to keep your hands free.
My annual trip to Bosque del Apache, National Wildlife Refuge is complete. I arrived home this past weekend. I drove 3100 miles round trip in my new 2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee Loredo X. By the way, when I say “annual” that was pre-COVID. In 2020 I did not go to Bosque because of the virus and it was very strange not to be in New Mexico around Thanksgiving.

The three pieces of Topaz software that I use the most are Gigapixel AI, Denoise AI and Sharpen […]
’ve decided to put together a guide to sharper images. Please note this is not a scientific guide or a white paper. It’s got more information in it than my typical blog posts, but it’s not EVERY SINGLE THING you can think of when it comes to sharp photos.

It’s a thesis based on my own decades of experience trying to both understand what a sharp picture is all about, and how to go about getting one. It’s written with one goal – to help you get sharp photos.
