Buying a camera is a big investment and no small decision. There are many elements and specs to consider and research. One factor of picking a camera is deciding whether to get a full frame (more appropriately called a 35mm frame size) or a crop sensor camera and you may easily overlook it if you're not aware it's an option.
Read MoreFirst of all, let me say that this is a great bag! I've had it for over a year and used all across the US and in all conditions and temperatures on all sorts of adventures, so I feel that I can speak to it well.
Read MoreThe other week I did a concept shoot where I wanted to highlight the Mountain Hardwear Lamina Torch Z sleeping bag. I wanted my subject standing in the bag in the middle of cold and harsh conditions to show that he was remaining warm. In the end I got the shot I wanted, but not by going to cold conditions.
Read More4 days... 3 days... 2 days... 1 day away! The weekend was drawing nearer as we prepared ourselves for hiking San Gorgonio, the tallest peak in Southern California.

I've been on this road trip across the United States and somewhere in Kansas, I pulled off for the night to sleep as per usual (cause most humans need sleep).
