I know, I know--I switched to Sony almost 5 years ago. But I missed my old M3 with the 22mm ƒ2 lens. It was the perfect walking around camera. The Sony A7R III is a small camera, but Sony just doesn't have a pancake lens I like. So I bought the M6 and the 22mm.... Continue Reading →
Apparently I never wrote about switching from Canon to Sony?! Let's fix that. I got my first Canon back in 1988. It was an AE-1 and I loved it. I shot through rolls and rolls of film. I took a class from a photo place in town and shot school sports, portraits, wildlife, weather--anything I... Continue Reading →
A few years back, I managed to score a free Canon AE-1 on Craigslist. It needed a little work, and I finally took it in to Blue Moon to get it fixed. They had it back to me earlier than promised, and I can't wait to run a roll through it.
When you're sick, and stuck on the couch, and run out of Game of Thrones episodes to watch, you have to find other ways to entertain yourself. Last week, I was sick, and I decided to poke around in the menus of my 5D Mk III. I found the Multiple Exposures menu item.I've never done... Continue Reading →
The Q button on the back of Canon cameras is used primarily for quick access to the camera's primary settings. If you're like me, and avoid manuals at all costs, you may have missed another function of the Q button, too. The other day, I discovered that while in the camera's menu, pressing the Q...

In a previous post, I talked about using an Eye-Fi SD card in Direct Mode to get better photos for your Evernote Food entries. Back then, I was using my Canon SD-780is to take better photos. I upgraded that to a Canon EOS M recently, and discovered that the EOS M has a dedicated Eye-Fi... Continue Reading →
I'm curious... Who's shooting what? Personally, I'm a Canon guy, but I have nothing against Nikon. I was just wondering if I had enough Nikon (or other brand) readers to make finding a guest poster who uses something other than Canon worthwhile. Well, that was an awkward sentence. Let me know what you're shooting in... Continue Reading →
The Canon P-215 found its new home with Natalie this week, so I asked her what she had planned for it... I won the scanner! I can't tell you how happy and grateful I am to Daniel & Evernote to have won. For YEARS I have wanted a nice scanner to be able to transition... Continue Reading →
A big CONGRATULATIONS to Natalie L for winning the Canon imageFORMULA P-215 scanner giveaway! She mentioned that she might write a little blurb about how she plans to use the scanner to become paperless, so keep an eye out... She may have ideas you haven't thought of yet. And an equally sized thank you to everyone... Continue Reading →
Just in case you missed the previous two posts, Canon was awesome enough to provide an imageFORMULA P-215 to me for a giveaway. Entering is simple, and instructions are at the bottom of the original contest post. Last Tuesday, I suggested 5 things you could do with the P-215. How about 5 more? Fashion conscious? Tear out magazine... Continue Reading →
If you haven't noticed, we're giving away a brand new Canon imageFORMULA P-215 scanner, courtesy of Canon and Evernote. Here are some suggestions of what to do if you win the scanner. First, the obvious: scan old photos, letters, etc. Store them in Evernote, and you automatically have a backup of all your memories. Receipts:... Continue Reading →
People save things. Journals, letters, photos, newspaper clippings and other bits of history eventually build a story of a life lived. Different generations save things in different ways, but most end up with boxes or shelves full of this history. If you haven't read my previous posts on this project, the basic plan is to...
