Why Competitions Suck

This post is an extract from my book, because it's an idea that keeps popping up and I am happy to share as much of my thoughts on "photography competitions" as possible. Since first writing this chapter I recorded a YouTube on the topic as well.



Laowa 6mm F2 MFT with Rolfie

I spent a day with Ian Rolfe to review his latest lens purchase, the Laowa 6mm F2 manual focus ultra-wide lens for Micro Four Thirds cameras.



Neewar LT-39 Travel Tripod Review

This tripod borrows a lot of design cues from the classic Peak Design Travel Tripod, but at a budget price. The quality of build is surprisingly good and far exceeded anything I expected from Neewer.



 

Shellie's Cookbook

It's been hard keeping this one a secret all year. We didn't even tell Shellie's mum! But at last we get to share a little of the joy from Shellie's Winter Cabin Cookbook.



Pergear 50mm F1.4 MF Full Frame

This lens made me a little bit sentimental for my old Minolta camera and Rokkor lenses. It's a great lens for any one wanting to experiment with fast primes on a budget. Manual focus and full frame 50mm F1.4 from Pergear for mirrorless Canon, Nikon, Sony and Leica L-mount.



Viltrox 28mm F4.5 CHIP for L-Mount

The fascinating and quirky Viltrox 28mm F2.5 CHIP has now been released for L-mount. This is a super small lens that pairs well with super small camera bodies such as the Lumix S9 and Sigma BF.

Winds of The Mustang

This essay is inspired by my last sunset in the Lower Mustang. The geology of this region is shaped by wind and water, turning stone into dust. The beautiful carvings of Tibetan prayers etched into tablets, and placed at chorten, are only temporary. That is the nature of our existence.

Golden Bhaktapur

In the early light of a winters morning the Durbar Square in Bhaktapur is usually pretty quiet, but filled with long shadows. Most tourists don't arrive here until later in the morning, so for a little while we get to enjoy Bhaktapur without the mayhem and chaos. The ancient streets are a gentle space for taking photos with the locals.

Winter Lights

I love the Arctic winter. I love the calm of a snow dusted landscape. I love the glow of light reflecting off clouds. I love mountain peaks trapping the weather and colours. I love the stars as a backdrop to aurora. I love the ice-covered branches turning gold when the sun pokes through a forest. I love that we can capture some of these moments on camera.

Momo Time

Novice monks in Nepal usually get two or three servings of Dhal Bhat every day, or some varition on that. Lots of rice, lots of chillies, lots of lentils. Every so often there's a special occasion, and the momos come out.

Why is Mastodon such a big deal?

A revolutionary social media protocal that offers decentralised networking and mentla health safe guards. Mastodon is part of the Fediverse, where thousands of servers are able to connect and share and define standards for their users. It's far more democratic, and it's all about building a community instead of an audience.

We Made A Cookbook

My craft is photography. Mostly I capture images for someone else. Their brand, their book, their magazine, their story. It's the same for my wife, Shellie, who is also a photographer and stylist and recipe developer. Together we've been able to make something for ourselves and we hope something that everybody else will love as much as we do.
