Wednesday, December 15th, 2010I’ve had more than a few frantic phone calls this week from friends and family looking for photo gift advice. In the spirit of giving and sharing I’ve compiled a list on Amazon ranging from $20 on up. There is still time to order and receive before Christmas.

Create Your Own Limited Edition Art Prints
Friday, February 19th, 2010
Framing snapshots and creating calendars and coffee mugs with your images can be fun, but have you ever considered producing your own limited edition art prints? An art print conveys quality and creativity and by limiting the number of prints produced, you establish value to your series.
Art Prints are a great way to share your photos. They make beautiful personal gifts, lucrative crafts to sell, or eye-catching decoration.
It isn’t necessary to be a professional artist, photographer, or print maker to produce professional-looking results. All you need is a digital camera, computer, printer, special paper, a pencil and a desire to express your creativity.

A Few of My Favorite Things
Tuesday, February 17th, 2009I’m getting ready to go to PMA 2009 (March 3-5 in Las Vegas) and I’m so excited! The Photo Marketing Association trade show is a great place for photo retailers, professional photographers, and educators to learn about the hottest imaging products for the year. Last year I visited a few of my favorite booths and decided to create a video so you can see some of the cool stuff I found in 2008. Thanks to my producer, Michael Welch, for shooting and editing this video for me.
The Making of the Canon XSi Videos

How to Shoot with a Digital SLR Camera
Wednesday, November 19th, 2008If you’re a photo beginner/photo enthusiast with a compact camera and have attempted to capture the action at your child’s basketball game, or any other situation where things are moving, you may have experienced some frustration in getting the shot. As fabulous as compact cameras can be for taking snap shots, they aren’t in the same league as a DSLR (that’s digital single lens reflex). DSLRs have faster processors that capture images faster. You can also interchange lenses, which is a big deal when you want to express your creativity and experiment with different looks and perspectives. I carry my compact camera with me everywhere, but if I want professional results I can always count on my DSLR to help me successfully capture the shot.
Check out these cool tutorial videos I did for Canon. You’ll learn basic camera techniques with the Canon EOS Rebel XSi, lenses, flashes, and accessories.
