The good guys at PocketWizard were nice enough to send me some gear to play with and boy did I put it to work. I got the MiniTT1 a couple of FlexTT5 for Nikon as well as the The AC3 ZoneController. It seemed like an unbelievable radio triggers system that, not like infrared triggers, enables the user to use the system in full daylight or behind corners without direct view of the commander flash.

We are thrilled to announce a Destination Wedding Photography workshop in Phuket, Thailand, on April 20-22nd, 2012. As the world becomes a global village, a larger percent of weddings take place away from the couple’s home area, and many times even out of the couple’s home country.

It is always around September that the new year starts in Israel and it has always been a tradition to send greeting cards. These cards were always decorated with the traditional symbols of the Jewish holidays and I remember that as a child we were always fascinated with the glitters and kitch. A few years ago [...]

I look back at the older posts that I wrote and see that there is a thread going through some of them on the topic of the creative photographic process, influence and creating a personal photographic style, which is probably one of the hotest topics on the search lists for emerging photographers. I though it would be [...]

It was said by a photographer (and thanks for John Stanmeyer for reminding) that showing contact sheets is like showing someone your underwear. An interesting way to put it but surely there is a great interest in the contact sheet that shows the photographer’s thinking process behind the shot. The Contact Sheet I was in [...]
