The Truth About Expensive Cameras
Throughout the years I’ve been making videos, I’ve gone through a fair share of camera equipment. Back in 2015, I started with a small power shot Canon camera my mom used to photograph family pictures with. Obviously, I was like 13 at the time, so I didn’t know anything about cameras, but I knew there were other YouTubers with a blur in the background of their videos and I really wanted my videos to look like that as well.

A letter to the cell phone photographer
I am in no way saying cell phones have not come a long way with cameras. Some even have that "dslr" quality. I am in no way dissing on cell phone photographers. But I had an interesting and insulting conversation today with someone. It really opened up my eyes. The way the new cell phones are advertising their great, multi lens cameras are NOTHING like a DSLR camera. First off, DSLR cameras have a multitude of settings that cell phone cameras do not. I know because I have one of those so called cell phone cameras. The auto focus is really all you can use, and if you use manual its NOTHING like using the DSLR manual. I would like to ask the cell phone photographers that claim they are better than the rest of us, what does Aperture mode mean? what does it do? do you know what an F stop is and what it does? How about typical depth? Do you know what the shutter speed is and how important you need to know how to use it, what about the ISO? do you know how that effects quality of photos? I bet, they can not answer at least 2 of these questions if not more. DSLR cameras will ALWAYS be the professional ones. Anyone can pick up a camera and take photos, and maybe really great ones, I don't doubt that at all, but how silly would it look to show up to a gig with a cell phone as a camera, a professional gig that you are getting paid 200 dollars to do? I bet you if anything, you are not getting hired.

50 Things Photographers (or Any Artist/Creatives) Can Do During Lockdown. Top Story - April 2020.
During these worse times, like the world-spread novel pandemic COVID-19 (Coronavirus), the government implemented so-called social distancing, work-from-home, self-quarantine, shelter-in-place, and lockdown. Any activity to avoid the rapid spreading of the virus. Many photographers, artists, and designers' job offers and projects were canceled or deferred. Some may not be working, maybe furlough, or got laid off during this crisis. It can be a very hard time for everyone. It may be emotional or mentally stressful for us being caged not just for a few days but weeks and, hopefully, not for months.

Destination Wedding | Modern Simplicity on Lake Como
If there is one place on Earth that defines us (besides our home), it sure is Italy. With the foothills of the Alps as its background, Lake Como is an upscale resort area in Northern Italy’s Lombardy region popular for its dramatic scenery. It’s the place we’re constantly gravitating to come back to. And if there is one piece of cinematography that triggers our imagination, it is La Grande Bellezza (The Great Beauty).

Sam Keller: Empowering Women Through The Lens. Top Story - April 2020.
Sam and I met on a nature walk with friends in Boulder, Colorado by Lake Wonderland in the spring of 2014. She was shooting with a Yashica 124G using infrared film. We bonded over cameras and each other's photos on Instagram. Sam always has her style and aesthetic on point. She has become such an amazing photographer and powerful business woman, capturing stunning images of strong women. We reconnected last year when she moved to NYC and have since worked together on awesome projects, including the latest one she brought me into with Milk XYZ. Sam took photos and I made a behind the scenes video.
