The Art of Teaching Art
There are many photos that take your breath away. This happens to be one of them for me. Sometimes, it becomes impossible for a camera to see what you see. And sometimes, it becomes impossible for others to do the same. Just like a camera, we have our own lenses, our own points of view, and our own visions of what we hope others can capture by the photos we present.

How COVID-19 Has Affected My Photography Practice. Third Place in Better Days Challenge. Top Story - May 2020.
Like most photographers, COVID-19 has had a profound effect on my business and my creative outlet. Of course, jobs are harder to come by, a recession is looming, and there are some jobs I’m just physically unable to take on, but my photography practice has also changed far beyond these inconveniences.

Mistakes Beginner Filmmakers (and Photographers) Make... #3
Lighting is key (no pun intended) to having great photos and videos. If you have no light, then all you’re going to see is darkness. The camera doesn't see light like we do. What you may think is too much light might not even be enough to get the look you want in your shot; and the most common thing I hear from people (and sometimes myself) is “I’ll fix it in post.”

4 Ways To Find Inspiration As A Beginner Photographer
Photography is an art. And every artist knows that there are moments when inspiration decides to abandon them and doesn't seem to plan to come back soon. The deadlines are accumulating, the calls from clients don't stop, but the ideas just don't come to a head.

35mm FAIL or GEM
FILM PHOTOGRAPHY About two years ago I decided to start taking film photos. I had only ever used digital and was way out of my depth. It was a new and exciting journey, so I went to a second had film store in Seattle and asked the man in the store more questions then he probably wanted to answer. I was so excited to learn every new thing I could. When I had finally picked a new camera and had enough film for the weekend, I met up with my best friend and snapped this photo above.

The Truth About Expensive Cameras
Throughout the years I’ve been making videos, I’ve gone through a fair share of camera equipment. Back in 2015, I started with a small power shot Canon camera my mom used to photograph family pictures with. Obviously, I was like 13 at the time, so I didn’t know anything about cameras, but I knew there were other YouTubers with a blur in the background of their videos and I really wanted my videos to look like that as well.

A letter to the cell phone photographer
I am in no way saying cell phones have not come a long way with cameras. Some even have that "dslr" quality. I am in no way dissing on cell phone photographers. But I had an interesting and insulting conversation today with someone. It really opened up my eyes. The way the new cell phones are advertising their great, multi lens cameras are NOTHING like a DSLR camera. First off, DSLR cameras have a multitude of settings that cell phone cameras do not. I know because I have one of those so called cell phone cameras. The auto focus is really all you can use, and if you use manual its NOTHING like using the DSLR manual. I would like to ask the cell phone photographers that claim they are better than the rest of us, what does Aperture mode mean? what does it do? do you know what an F stop is and what it does? How about typical depth? Do you know what the shutter speed is and how important you need to know how to use it, what about the ISO? do you know how that effects quality of photos? I bet, they can not answer at least 2 of these questions if not more. DSLR cameras will ALWAYS be the professional ones. Anyone can pick up a camera and take photos, and maybe really great ones, I don't doubt that at all, but how silly would it look to show up to a gig with a cell phone as a camera, a professional gig that you are getting paid 200 dollars to do? I bet you if anything, you are not getting hired.
