Modular Cameras Continue to Revolutionize The Industry
Camera “concepts” are a dime a dozen. BUT…I always love it when smart designers take an idea we take for granted–like that consumer/pro-sumer camera made up of a singular body with various other moving parts–and totally shreds it. This is the case with numerous new/emerging manufactures at the moment…RED, GoPro, and even iPhone all fall...

Photography 101: The Radical Camera + New York’s Photo League
Every so often, I discover or am reminded of tectonic shifts in photography that seem to be little-known by the exploding world of photographers.

MCA (Adam Yauch) of the Beastie Boys Dead at 47 — RIP

Man vs. Wild: Pieter Hugo’s Incredible Photos of Hyena’s with Men
Sometimes, however, what starts with a cool cellphone picture sent from a friend becomes an amazing, thought-provoking piece of photojournalism that probes the relationships between humans at the wild, humans and animals, and humans and each other.

Shoots/stores up to 40...
