12 January, 2014 – Hasselblad H5D-60 Review

12 Jan

It’s been quite a while since I reviewed a Hasselblad system. But, I have now been working with a Hasselblad H5D-60 for the past five weeks. In many ways it’s been like revisiting an old friend, and I’ve greatly enjoyed the process. My review of the H5D-60 is now online. 

For the past several days Kevin Raber, Lars Svanstrom and I have been exploring and photographing within the mountains of central Mexico. It’s been a remarkable experience, visiting hidden valleys and obscure villages that are rarely seen by Gringos.

Special thanks is owed to Lars, whose knowledge on Mexico spans some 40 years of photographing here, along with his excellent Spanish. He helped us find locations seldom seen by visitors.

One of the images from that shoot is now on the Home Page. I’ll have a small portfolio of images from this trip here some time next week.


You can win an all-expenses paid photographic expedition to Antarctica, along with air fare from anywhere in the world. The value of this prize is $ 15,000.
