Canon lenses are fantastic. They’re the ones that I use for nearly all the product images I shoot for our reviews of books, cameras, lenses, lights, etc. Indeed, the lenses and the cameras work together to have a look. I don’t care about clinical image quality, insane sharpn…
Ooops, guess we’re doing two tonight. Goodness. Compare this to the video from last night. Tyshawn Jones is just getting so much speed up for these tricks. It’s like a different sport. Both so great to watch. Saw a quote from Tyshawn Jones where he said he grew up watchin…
Well, Fabio Wibmer is very, very fast on his bicycle. Just about the first trick in here is Fabio successfully jumping the Lyon 25 Stair we learned about earlier this week. And, uh, he does something we didn’t see in that other video because if you make it to the end of the vi…
“Their wish for all the Beyoncé uproar? Those folks will finally recognize that Black women and girls reign supreme at the rodeo. Carter added that most people questioned why Bey, a Houston native, hadn’t entered the country music scene sooner.” 💬 Join the discussion…
A conversation at dinner with the kids left me wanting to know how to rhyme in sign language and when I found out, it feels like it should have been obvious. In phonology (the study of the smallest units of language), the parts of a signed word are: handshape, location, palm o…
“According to Mr Peryer, it is not uncommon for geese to be bisexual, though he adds that the duo were the only pair in the Waikanae Estuary…It is also not unheard of for geese to mate with swans, with the offspring…known as a swoose.” 💬 Join the discussion on kottk…
Dolly Parton’s ‘I Will Always Love You’ was released 50 years ago a couple weeks ago and it’s a very good song. We all know Parton famously wrote IWALY and Jolene on the same day, which, like, one time I made 4 batches of ice cream and packed them all into pints and clea…
Hurry up! This month, the Phoblographer is giving away a beautiful 7Artisans 50mm f1.1 lens in Leica M-mount to one lucky subscriber. It’s overall in pretty great condition and brings with it the patina and aging that makes its beauty shine through. Now, we’re giving it away…
Punxsutawney Phil and his mate Phyllis have had babies and both of the articles I read about this deeply weirded me out. Listen, I get it, you don’t get to be President of The Punxsutawney Groundhog Club Inner Circle by being normal about groundhogs, but it feels a little cult…
JUST A FEW DAYS LEFT! Let’s be very honest here: Fujifilm’s best image quality comes from the Fujifilm GFX lineup. That goes for their lenses, their cameras, their sensors, etc. Medium format’s major different isn’t necessarily in how the aperture and depth of field work…
At the beginning of this documentary, the narrator says something about “how did whales end up in the ocean,” and to be honest that fucked me up because whales make sense to me if I think of them as something that’s always been in the ocean, and if I have to reorient my mi…
Goat farmers traveling from MN to CA got stuck in traffic in UT and goats must be milked every 12 hours, so when traffic cleared they stopped at Tractor Supply where the community learned to milk goats and sent the farmers home with freshly milked goats. 💬 Join the discussi…

“Ms. Sharr proposed that Olga move into their Cambridge home temporarily so the system could get to know her better. They would support her, they said… She was floored by their generosity. “There really are people who are angels,” she said.” 💬 Join the discussion…
Coming soon to Youtube, photographers can watch the film Fill the Frame for free on April 6th. The film, which came out in 2021, profiles the work of several street photographers. The list includes some of the greatest street photographers alive such as Dimitri Mellos, Jonathan…
I like the skate videos where the skaters show how high or fast or far they can go and the control they have over their bodies while flying through the air, but I also like the videos where the skaters put their feet on the ground sometimes and use the board as more than somethi…
Because I don’t hardly blog anymore, I turned the email newsletter for my ice cream shop into kind of a blog where sure I talk about ice cream a good amount, but I also tell stories about when I was a tour manager for a band, document how terribly hostile Intuit is towards the…
Nikon photographers are getting something that they arguably should've received a while ago: access to the Tamron 28-75mm f2.8 II lens. The company announced today that Nikon users will soon be able to purchase the lens for their system at $999. This is great news in so many dif…
Hey, real quick, what’s something you always wanted to do, but only just started to learn how to do in the last year? I always wanted to learn how to play guitar and last year my son and I started taking guitar lessons together and now I can sort of play guitar a little. If y…
This 2013 Kings of Leon cover of Robyn’s Dancing on My Own inspired Callum Scott to sing Dancing on My Own for his audition for Britain’s Got Talent, which eventually lead to Scott’s version of the song hitting #2 on the UK charts in 2016 and becoming the #1 download in th…
For several years, we've featured images on climate change and so many other environmental issues. Few have really taken to the conceptual world of photography to do it, but Adedolapo Boluwatife has made a series called Invitation to Invade that has rightfully earned awards with…
