  • 24 March, 2014 – Uinta 30L Camera Backpack Review

     

    If there is one thing worse than gear addiction it is camera bag addiction.  I know vey few photographers who do not suffer from this particular affliction.  Today Nick Devlin shares his views of the NEW Uinta 30L Camera Backpack from Guru Gear.  Nick as usual covers all aspects of this bag while actually using it.

    Looking for the ultimate summer photography vacation.  We still have a few berths lefts on our Svalbard – Land Of The Polar Bears workshops this July.  This is a small boat cruise into the ice pack to photograph Polar Bears as well as numerous excursions around Svalbard for other wildlife photography and landscapes. This will be an unforgettable trip with a maximum of only 11 particpants.

    Kodak famously failed to adapt to the transition from film to digital photography, and finally stopped making digital cameras in early 2012. Now the famous old brand has been resurrected by JK Imaging Ltd, which is producing cameras in partnership with Asia Optical. We got a quick look at some of the 2014 product portfolio earlier this year at CES but this week we had a more detailed briefing at a European press event. Click through to take a closer look.

  • 20 March, 2014 – Two New Books by Michael Reichmann

    I’m excited to announce today two new books of my photography to be published over the next few months. The first is a new 72 page soft-cover Monograph titled "Mexico: The Light and The Warmth" published by LensWork. The second is titled "Michael Reichmann – a 20 Year Photography Retrospective". Designed by Arturo Chapa, one of the world’s top book designers, this large format, cloth bound, hard-cover book will have 400 pages, containing 380 images. It will be available in two editions; a signed limited-edition in a clam-shell style slip-case, and also in an open edition without slip-case.

    I am also making an initial announcement today of The Luminous Endowment for Photographers, a not-for-profit entity which will provide scholarships, grants and awards to photographers world-wide.
