Bought a Dell U2415 monitor
I have been using various laptops for all my photo work since 2006. Even before 2006 I sometimes used laptops, but back then I would sometimes be in one place for quite awhile so at those times I used desktops. My last desktop was one I bought in 2005. I added a 19" IPS LCD monitor that was wel...

Future of A mount
Of course I have no special knowledge or insight into what Sony is thinking and I don't make predictions about these things since I most certainly don't know, but it seems to me that there is a good likelihood that Sony will keep the A mount alive for a long time. How many A mount lenses are out in ...

Sony/Panasonic in Japan
I have probably mentioned before about the way Sony and Panasonic sell their cameras here in Japan which makes them rather unattractive and rarely bought by most non-Japanese residents. They have a Japanese-only menu that cannot be changed. A few stores sell a subset of the models as "internati...

Mom's little family camera
Mom's little family camera. Good for the kiddos' birthdays, trips to Disneyland, and school graduations.

Sabrina sells us a B&H projector
In this 1959 ad Sabrina is selling us a B&H slide projector. I don't know who Sabrina is and I don't know why B&H chose her for the ad. It is an eye catching advertisement though. I guess those ad men in the 1950s knew something though and must have had their hard to fathom reasons for choos...

DxO: Sony A900 vs Olympus E-M10II
I have been using m4/3 since April 2012. For the types of things I mostly photograph and the way I do it the smaller size and lower weight of all the gear is very welcome. The Sony sensors in the Olympus bodies are quite good and, for me, I am pretty happy with them. I was just curious on this late ...

KM Maxxum/Dynax/Alpha 7D jpegs
I was browsing through some of my old photos in Lightroom today and the wonderful colors of so many of my old 7D jpegs really stand out. I had two 7D bodies. KM couldn't fix my first one so replaced it with a new one and finally after 5-6 trips to KM USA, KM Canada, and Sony. I ended up getting a fu...

Yashica Electro 35 in his hands
We are still here in Kuala Lumpur and while walking in a shopping mall I happened to see this big wall mural advertising something. I noticed that the young guy has an Yashica Electro 35 in his hands. I bought one as a Christmas gift for someone in 1977. I bet the model in this advertisement had no ...

Smartphone cases in Asia
We are in Kuala Lumpur right now and yesterday I saw these rather unusual smartphone cases for women. To be used with the larger type smartphones such as the iphone 6. I guess with large smartphones it is helpful to have a carrying strap. :) OLYC3610.jpg The white one on the left is shaped like a ca...

Chinoike jigoku in Beppu
A couple of weeks ago we took a 3 hour ferry from Shikoku to Kyushu for a short one week trip. The first few days we stayed in Beppu. I was last there in 1985 on my very first trip to Japan! While in Beppu I visited the Chinoike jigoku (Blood Pond Hell -- hot spring). I was there in 1985 on my first...

India trip photos
My recent trip to India for about 4 weeks was good and I hope to go there again someday, but to visit a different part of the large country. I was in Rajasthan, Punjab, Uttar Pradesh, and Delhi. While traveling around in the north part of the country I stayed in Delhi, Agra, Bharatpur, Jaipur, Manda...

National Geographic photographer Jay Dickman presentation
Last night I couldn't get to sleep so I fired up my tablet and watched this video of a talk by National Geographic photographer Jay Dickman. He appears to be in his late 60s and has been a photojournalist and commercial photographer also over the years. I enjoyed his talk and presentation that also ...
