I found myself sitting in the atrium of a Hyatt Regency looking up. I started to wonder how things would look if I were up there, looking down. What I discovered is a beautiful subject for abstract photography. I tell the story of how this all worked out on today's TDS Photography Podcast - https://thedigitalstory.com/2025/04/abstract-architecture-TDS-photography-podcast.html

Dateline: Sunday, 2pm, outdoor ceremony on a cloudless day. To say that it was bright outside would be an understatement. The sun was beaming in at an angle. Those sitting in the audience could dawn hats and sunglasses. Those at the alter could not. This is what separates iPhone snap shooters from event photographers. And in this week's TDS Photography podcast, I'll explain how I pulled it off - https://thedigitalstory.com/2025/04/I-would-not-have-survived-this-wedding-without-fill-flash-photo-podcast.html

We have a new online workshop coming in May, updates for upcoming events, iOS 18.4 hits the streets, and more thoughts about the Fujifilm GFX 100RF. Plus my hands-on impressions of the new M4 MacBook Air - Yes, it's plenty powerful for photographers - https://thedigitalstory.com/2025/03/new-photo-workshop-plus-M4-Macbook-Air-photography-podcast.html

Fujifilm is the genius behind some of the most interesting cameras of our time. And the just-announced GFX 100RF certainly belongs in that category. It's beautiful, innovative, and relatively compact. I've been reading and thinking about this camera since its debut. And as much as I admire it, it's not for me. I'll explain why in today's TDS Photography Podcast - https://thedigitalstory.com/2025/03/everyone-seems-to-love-the-Fujifilm-GFX100RF-except-for-me-photo-podcast.html

As iPads and the software for them continue to evolve, we're in an enviable spot that allows us to travel lighter than ever, yet still fully enjoy our photography. This week I'll provide you with the current state of my mobile photography workflow and why I've selected those particular tools. All of this, and more, on today's TDS Photography Podcast - https://thedigitalstory.com/2025/03/mobile-photography-for-big-kids-photo-podcast.html

The last time I bought a MacBook Air was over a decade ago. It was the super nimble 11" model that I could slide in my camera bag to manage web pages and answer email while on the go. The screen wasn't anything to write home about, but it was so compact. Fast forward to 2025 and a substantial update to a 13" M4 Air. Why am I doing this?

Like for many of you, the OM System OM-3 was delivered to my doorstep this last Friday. What perfect timing! I had an all-day adventure in San Francisco lined up with the family for Saturday. I charged up the battery, mounted the 14-42mm EZ zoom, and hit the road. What happened next surprised this seasoned Micro Four Thirds photographer.

Would you ask a podiatrist to examine your eyes? Probably not. Yet, shy landscape photographers are routinely asked to shoot weddings. And what's even more delightful, is that they often say yes. So how do they not only survive this commitment, but thrive?

Whether or not you plan on buying the new OM System OM-3, you've got to admit that it's a heck of a camera - The brains of the OM-1, the body of a classic film camera. As James Artaius writes in his review for Digital Camera World, "This is the camera that out-Fujifilms Fujifilm." And this week we're dedicating the entire podcast to the brand new OM-3 - https://thedigitalstory.com/2025/02/give-it-up-for-the-OM-System-OM-3-review-photography-podcast.html
