I get a lot of questions all the time about which camera to buy, and most of the time I don’t quite have the time to respond to all of them, so I’ve decided I’d start a regular camera guide feature.

Haven’t updated this in awhile – I’ve been fairly busy with work and school. A couple of nights ago was the United States 2008 election, which resulted in a fair bit of excitement here in Berkeley. I covered a portion of it, mostly the results viewing and reaction later on in the night.
Some interesting “Making [...]
As with all the other manufacturers, the pride and joy and “flagship” lenses of a lens manufacturer are its supertelephotos. Say what you will about the Nikon 14-24mm f/2.8 or Canon’s 50mm f/1.2 – when it comes down to it, it’s the 300 f/2.8 IS’s or 400 f/2.8 VR’s of the world (or maybe the [...]

Hi everyone, and welcome to CameraSex/ShutterSounds, a blog on all things photography. This has been a dream pet project of mine for some time, and after several tried and failed attempts using blogger and an old personal xanga, I feel like I’ve finally got the infrastructure set for it to succeed.
So what’s this blog all [...]
