I did a review of the Brevite Jumper when it came out and almost 6 months later, it is still my daily driver. The bad does not look like a camera bag at all. It’s casual and comfortable to use every day. And it holds enough gear to be dangerous.
Read MoreWhat's In My Peter McKinnon X NOMATIC Camera Pack (Big Boi Edition)
After a full week of messing around with the Peter McKinnon X NOMATIC Camera Pack, I’ve decided that this will be my Big Boi setup: more for lots of photography and a bit of travel. The lenses I chose were on the longer side since I do more portrait/glamour photography than video.
Read MorePacking the Camera Pack: Peter McKinnon X NOMATIC
So, that’s me silently packing/struggling to configure my camera pack. That’s not the bag’s fault. There are just so many options on how to configure the bag and my quest to use it most efficiently makes me very slow about all of it.
Read MoreTotally Unprofessional and Unbiased Unboxing of the Peter McKinnon X NOMATIC Camera Pack
There are dozens of photographers that have more technical and better-shot reviews of the bag, but I wanted my not-a-professional-photographer-just-an-enthusiast point-of-view. I even recorded me struggling to finagle my gear in it in the next episode!
Read MoreI Love the SwitchPod... but it's Incomplete!
Spoiler alert: I love the SwitchPod. It is a very portable, very durable, semi-min (compared to its competitors), “foldable/collapsible” tripod that extremely quick to setup/activate and use.
Read MoreSony WF-1000XM3 v. Apple AirPods Pro (Noise-Cancelling Earbuds Showdown)
I’ve had the Sony WF-1000XM3 since August 2019 and I’ve loved every day I’ve used it. I was blown away by the active noise-cancelling and the variety of EQ settings you can choose from. But, I recently thought I lost my Sony’s case and I’ve been hearing a lot of good things about the recently-released AirPods Pro, so I decided to get one of those and see for myself whether I am switching to the Apple or just try to look for a replacement case for my WF-1000XM3 from eBay.
Read MoreBrevitē Jumper Camera Backpack Review
Spoiler alert: I am loving my new Brevitē Jumper backpack! For me, it’s the perfect daily driver. It holds a sufficient amount of gear (1 body with lens, additional lens, some hard drives, mics, etc.) and the comfortable fabric and padding makes it easy to carry for extended periods of time.

Why do we spend thousands of dollars on gear even if we may never fully utilize all of its features?

Here are a few things I wish I knew before getting the Ricoh GR.
Read MoreDaily Cameras
When not in the studio, the Ricoh GR and the Leica M-P (Type 240) are my main cameras. I love them both dearly and would encourage anyone who are looking for their life-long camera bodies to consider both of them (mostly their most recent iterations because mine are old), but it is rare that I have them both at the same time, so here is how I breakdown my uses for them.

Why Purchase Noise Cancelling Headphones (When You Have Other Head/Earphones Like AirPods)
Firstly, it’s winter in New York. It’s fucking cold. You need to cover your ears. Why not cover it with cool tech that bumps awesome music and melts the world away. I also have never had noise cancelling headphones. I was never a fan of not being conscious of my surroundings, but things change. I’m getting older. Instead on dealing with the world, I just want it to go away.
