I love LowePro bags, and I will probably buy another one to replace that horrible thinktank bag for days I need to carry a lot of gear. But I need a nice everyday street bag just big enough to carry an A7 or an X-T1 with a couple of lenses.

This definitely seems interesting, it could also be a little slow if you have a lot of negs. I'd love to give it a shot though.

Yeah, It does. I just won't jump into a camera bag purchase. I prefer not to buy them online anymore. A bag is personal, it's also a tool that helps you do your job the way you want to do it.

Even as a part time working pro you need multiple bags. I've been through my fair share of bags. I have three I use regularly now. Pelican for travel. ThinkTank Retrospective 50 for local jobs. 80s Tamrac shoulder bag. The Tamrac is my absolute …

Dreds at this point are fashion. That's it. Not some political statement, nor is it appropriation. I feel like I have a liberal belief system. And these hyper-sensitive liberals are killing me. Ugh.

Lightroom for the cloud will get better.

I will never forget the moment when I realized everybody I knew was lying about how talented I was. I was devastated. I put the camera down for years.. When i went back in 97 I embraced my ignorance and learned how to know that I didn't know …

Fortunately I don't think I need to at least have a dummy account. I know that when I had my own business page, I was getting near zero interaction. I've noticed with my meager 480 friend count I was getting even less interaction. Facebook should …

Do you really think the charts aren't fixed? But let's assume they're not, next week. Everything about popular music is fake and made with a formula. So what's adding some fake vocals from a computer that has learned what we like?

exactly! The worst part is he has a very "up front" personality. I don't see him lasting long. He showed me some of his work that received high praise. Meh. He looked at me like I was crazy when I told him that t-stops and f-stops were different …

He was claiming that journalism was pure. If you weren't chasing truth and honesty with your imagery, still or moving then you are a sell out.

Deleting the app was so satisfying. :)

So there I was at the pub smoking a cigar on the back patio watching a baseball game. Every few minutes is pick up my phone and go through FB. I immediately thought, this is dumb. I deactivated my account. I thought I'd spend the first day …

I don't mind the mobile usability at all. But I would dig a native Android app.

Yes that is a good point. I was talking to George Neare a freelance photojournalist, he would often fund his own trips to northern Africa, and then try to sell his images... Thanks.

I don't meet too many photographers where I live. It's a small town, and the ones that are here are a tight clique. However, I met a local J-School student at the University of Oregon. We talked about the work we do, we discussed the finer points …

I agree, I should print the best of them. I would though print in a traditional darkroom.

I'm glad some were recovered.

whoa! i never heard that story. That is crazy.

Well, I went to look for something on Brett Weston and I found this interesting Time article http://time.com/3801493/burned-to-nothing-when-photographers-destroy-their-own-negatives/

We weren't really a picture family, I have a few fro my parents, who are gone now. Oddly, I didn't really take a lot of family pictures myself.. I do most of my own scanning. There is something great about old family pictures.

I went over to friends place. And I got to see pictures his grandfather too in the 50s Minnesota. There were so many negatives and slides, it was really interesting.

I love it. I'm doing a lot more reading than writing, but there seems to be some smart cookies on board. I guess there's a certain amount of wait and see. I think/hope this turns into something really amazing.

Lately I have been reorganizing my old negatives into new binders. I'm adding new pages of negatives to binders every month too. I can't help but to think about what's going to happen to them when I'm gone. I'm not a famous photographer, and I …

I have noticed the same thing. It would seem to me that Facebook gives more screen time to natively posted content than external links.
