Africa is the cradle of our civilization. Yet, most Westerners see this massive continent from a distance, and often through a scrim of largely negative headlines.

For more than a decade, Boston-based photographer Lou Jones has sought to challenge this misperception. In 2013, he launched an in-depth photographic documentation of individual countries across Africa under the title the panAFRICAproject.
Jones joins us on today’s podcast to recap his efforts to date, which currently encompasses a third of Africa’s 54

Leave it to the world of photography to confuse size and speed. In lens-speak, the term “fast glass” refers to lenses with large apertures. In this article we take a look at the lenses with the largest-opening apertures. The aperture is the opening of a lens. The aperture’s size is expressed as a number that shows the ratio of the opening to the lens’s focal length. This number is referred to as an f/number, f/stop, focal

As the line between professional photography and videography continues to blur, one company has chosen to cater to this emerging class of hybrid shooters.
Sony released its first full-frame, interchangeable-lens cameras, the Alpha a7 and a7R, in 2013. With the release of these twin cameras, the company unknowingly embarked on what would end up being a five-year monopoly of the mirrorless camera market. Although not the very first mirrorless cameras of their kind, the a7 and a7R were immediately disruptive due to their revolutionary

Our last travel log had us heading to Nevada (or California, depending on which side of state line you’re visiting when in South Lake Tahoe). I’m glad we were able to cross this one off the bucket list because Lake Tahoe was far more beautiful than I could ever imagine. Fair warning, though! As relatively new trailer owners, we were pretty nervous driving those roads to the top. Some switchbacks were dangerously tight for us and our almost 30-foot rig, but we made it and paid for a camp spot among the trees in South Lake Tahoe.

It’s common knowledge that things won’t go according to plan. Deadlines will be missed; projects will go awry, and part of the adventure is learning to roll with the punches. But this felt like more than a few punches—we felt defeated. Our renovation process took a turn for the worse, not once, but twice. After five months of heartbreak, heated arguments, and two renovation companies with less than noble intentions, our 29' Airstream ended up in my childhood backyard. Our timeline had us on the road by mid-January, but life had other plans for

Many people dream about a fashion photography career as a life in the fast lane with gilded perks. In reality, it takes a discerning eye, fierce determination, and a penchant for risk. These very qualities were the driving force behind Erin Yamagata’s decision to trade the beaches of Southern California for the crowded avenues of midtown Manhattan. By her graduation from New York’s Fashion Institute of Technology (FIT) in 2015, she had assembled a solid fashion and beauty book, and was on her way to establishing herself as a fashion industry
