I've briefly touched on backing up in various episodes over the last six years, but following a conversation this week with Matt Marshall, a great photographer from the UK, I decided to wrap a few ideas, including Matt's, into this week's episode. Thanks for all the...
Today we're going to take a look at the Canon PIXMA MG6120 Wireless Photo All-in-One Printer. This is basically an A4 or Letter paper size printer, with a scanner built into the top, but despite that, it's a sleek looking machine, with various feature that make it...
It's been some seven weeks since I released my last Podcast episode. If you listened to the last few episodes, you'll have heard that we found that I had a brain tumor. I released a couple of blog posts in the week or so before the surgery, but since the surgery I've...
Last week, I reported of my brain tumour that we just found in my post "A Reminder of our Transience". The response to that post was awesome! Thanks so much to everyone that left a comment! You have helped me to be strong in a somewhat difficult time. This post is a...
David duChemin is a world & humanitarian photographer, best-selling author. David recently took a fall during one of his workshops in Italy, and is still recovering from his ordeal. With me finding out last week that I have a brain tumour we find ourselves with a...
OK, so this is a difficult thing to talk about, but I'm not one for hiding things away, however personal, so here we go. About six weeks ago, on the evening of the day we'd reached Patagonia, after a few days at sea from the Falkland Islands in the last stage of my...

Here's a video slideshow of most of the photographs from my recent Photography Expedition to Antarctica, the Falkland Islands and Patagonia. I will be doing a series of Podcast episodes on the expedition in the coming weeks, but I thought I'd get the photos into the...
About six months ago, I decided that it was time to make my compact digital camera really compact. I traded in my Canon PowerShot G10 for a PowerShot S95. The G10 was a nice camera, but it's not really all that compact. It certainly isn't small enough to just stuff in...
I love it when a package arrives from B&H, and today was no exception. When ordering some 24" rolls of Hahnemuhle Photo Rag a few days ago, I checked my Wish list, and found that the Westcott 7' Octabank was down in price by a couple of hundred dollars, and I have...
Following on from the last video, here's a look at how I kept my camera bag, and of course that means my camera equipment, dry during our Zodiac rides in the Antarctic recently. You often take waves over the side of the Zodiac, and even just the spray from waves can...
