Yesterday was the first time since I got to Vancouver that I had some time off. I hooked up with my colleague Byron from BikeHugger who was out to cover the bike scene surrounding the Olympic games and he introduced me to Kris Krug, international alt-media (the term for the journalists covering non-mainstream-media political issues). ... read more

I had to take a mis-ordered shipment to B&H today to return the gear and get a credit, and after I did I (of course) walked around the store for a while. Somehow I managed to leave there with a Nikkor 14-24 f/2.8 lens for our test lab, and a D-700-vertical release/battery pack. We’re looking ... read more

We’re doing a bit of housekeeping tonight, changing the category structure of of the Aperture site to be more function-focused. As a result, thing might be a bit odd looking on the site tonight as categories appear and disappear.read more
My father was a commercial photographers in the late 60’s and early 70’s, so I was only slightly surprised to find this magazine from 1972 in some of his tear-sheets when I was recently cleaning up his archives.Not a lot in here about digital, but if you look in here (aside from the film ... read more
When we relaunched the MacCreate site months ago, we began using a technology called BuddyPress for our community forums. A direct link-in to Wordpress (which powers this site) BuddyPress had some great promise. It also has vastly large holes for spammers, something the develoeprs keep saying will be addressed with each revision, but to date ... read more
Please accept our apologies if you were keen on using the Community site today. We will be doing a full overhaul of the Community site today, which should mean some downtime.

Note to self: do not use Babelfish to translate English to Russian and vice-versa. It’s actually better to not be able to translate things than to read the butchered results. ... read more
You’ve probably noticed that Aperture 3 was released today. You’ve probably also noticed that we were the only site on the planet with actual content at launch. We’ve been fortunate enough to work with the incredibly stellar Aperture team at Apple for years now (hats off to Martin, Joe and Kirk— this is a great day ... read more
Some of you will have noticed our new look by now- we have rolled it out on MacCreate.com’s home page. That landin page used to be a series of boxes with just a list of articles, now it’s a look at our entire network. You can access all parts of the site and it pulls ... read more
Okay, so I’m ga-ga over the iPad. There are a few things i wish it had (camera, GPS) that would really help with some app ideas I’ve had for a while, but the idea of the iPad is driving me nuts. I’m probably going to get rid of my 13" MacBook Pro and use a ... read more
To better deal with the massive, massive files we’ve been generating in a new photographer workflow video series we’re creating on a Canon 7D, (we shot more than 80GB of video on one day of a two day shoot and have been editing that in a number of programs), we just bought some RAM to ... read more
