El Capitan: Split Screen View

I know, Windows has had this for awhile. But that’s kind of how it works with Apple and OS X. They let the other folks iron out the bugs before they implement it into OS X. Revolutionary? No. But when features get implemented, they generally work really, really well. Where this fits in best with... Continue Reading →

iPhone 6s Plus

For the first time ever, I preordered an iPhone on launch day. I had planned on staying up till midnight to get my order in as soon as possible, but I’m getting older, and didn’t make it till midnight. I did, however, wake up at 4am for no reason, so I ordered it then. The... Continue Reading →

Pencil by Fifty Three iOS Stylus

Recently, Apple announced the iPad Pro and Pencil stylus. Unfortunately, Apple's stylus only works with the iPad Pro. Long before Apple's Pencil, Fifty Three had their own Pencil stylus. And Fifty Three’s Pencil stylus works with all iOS devices. I love Fifty Three's Paper app, so the other day I decided to pick up their... Continue Reading →

Becca’s Photo Shoot

This one is another collaboration with Krystal of August Hair Artistry. She brought in Dallas and her awesome airbrush makeup skills, and they enlisted the help of Becca to model for us. Becca was one week away from a competition, so she was completely ripped.

Frog Jump Fitness Photo Shoot

I recently had the opportunity to shoot some marketing materials for Frog Jump Fitness. Laura is updating her website, and needed fresh photos. The 6am shoot gave us great morning light, and everyone involved was a pleasure to work with. I love lifestyle shoots like this. No posing, no staging, just capturing what happens as...

Data-Driven Graphics in Photoshop

There are times we have to create a bunch of similar graphics in Photoshop. Instead of creating each one individually, we can use data sets in Photoshop to whip up as many graphics as we need with just a few clicks. This is useful for thank you cards, scheduled promotional graphics, reminder cards--anything you'd use... Continue Reading →

Six Years With Evernote

Six years ago today, I tweeted this: The Twitter handle is blocked out because it was tweeted on an account I no longer use. Today, Evernote is the one app I use every single day. My entire work day is structured with Evernote, I've built an extensive personal and professional knowledge base, collected recipes and... Continue Reading →

Friday Photos

I was cleaning out a file cabinet in the garage the other day and ran across an old Quantaray 70-300 lens. It's soft and slow and ugly, but I had to play with it. Also spent some time at the showroom grabbing a few new photos. Definitely did not use the old Quantaray for these. I'll leave... Continue Reading →

Plantronics BackBeat Pro

This has nothing to do with photography. Or maybe it does--if you like to listen to music while you edit. I just had to mention these headphones.  I'm one of those strange people who loves the sound of Beats headphones. I like heavier bass. Before I bought my Beats Solos, I wandered around town trying...
