Nikon Has a Problem Nikon, it's time that you address a problem that plagues professional photographers with your flashes. Please fix it.

Fair criticism. I havent liked a Nikon flash since the SB-800, which is like 20 years old at this point. These days I use either Godox or ProFoto strobes on my Z8 bodies. I’d LOVE for Nikon to release a great modern flash that kicks the competition’s butts they way they have with cameras and lenses.

The Two Greatest Full-Frame DSLRs Ever Made—No Debate DSLRs may seem like a thing of the past but they aren't. Here is a look at two cameras that shine in this regard.

I love my Z8’s, but I do miss my D850’s a ton (definitely the last great DLSR)!

The Death and Rebirth of Medium Format There's a Hasselblad 500C/M sitting in a pawn shop somewhere, priced at a few hundred dollars, gathering dust between the guitars and the jewelry cases. Thirty years ago, that camera was a professiona...

I started my career in a south OC portrait studio shooting medium-format film. I still miss that form factor — the rhythm, the deliberateness, the physicality. Modern systems are incredible… but for most editorial clients, they’re overkill.

A RANDOM HOT TAKE: I enjoyed James Gunn’s Superman. Not sure Gunn and I would click 1:1 (maybe 🤷🏼‍♂️—you never know with creatives), but the way he lets vulnerability bleed into his characters—not an imperfection in their armor but a feature—sets him apart from other superhero storytellers. That hits.
