Build a Better Photograph – Book Review
Michael E. Stern is a photographer. He’s also a scientist, business man, and an educator. In this very informative and anecdotal book, Build a Better Photograph, he walks us through what it means to be a professional photographer in the fields of Environmental Portraiture, Product Photography, 3D Scanning, and Compositing Techniques. His personal stories of how he secured certain jobs keeps us on the edge of our seats. As he relates some of his experiences working with clients in the corporate world he discloses some of the pitfalls that photographers can run into when faced with tough assignments and less than cooperative people.

This stellar collaboration between Glenn Rand, educator and Program Director for Graduate Programs at Brooks Institute, and Tim Meyer, Portrait Division Chair at Brooks Institute, is a blessing for all photographers interested in portraiture.
Mastering Photographic Composition, Creativity, and Personal Style – Review
When I first saw the title, Mastering Photographic Composition, Creativity, and Personal Style by Alain Briot, I got excited about reviewing this book. It is, to me, what photography is all about.
Macally ECOFAN Bamboo Cooling Stand for Laptop – Review
The first thing that attracted me to the new Macally ECOFAN Bamboo Cooling Stand was that it was made from bamboo. Bamboo is not a wood, but a grass. It has incredible strength, both tensile and hard strength that is, pound for pound, stronger than steel. It grows very fast almost anywhere that’s temperate in climate, and is completely biodegradable, Hence, the name ECOFAN.
Mastering the Nikon D700 – Review
What is so effective about this book is the anecdotal examples throughout. The Nikon manual can be used in conjunction with Mastering the Nikon D700, and the authors refer to specific pages as we wend through the chapters and discover the many features of the camera. Read the full review here.
Comply NR-10i High Tech Noise Reduction Earphone w/ Mic – Review
Kudos to Comply for their great engineering in making these one of the most comfortable sets of in-ear phones I’ve tried.
A Review of ivideosongs Music Lessons – Review
ivideosongs had a great idea when they decided to enlist the aid of accomplished musicians to give their various perspectives on how to approach playing your instrument of choice. Who better to teach you than the players of the stars? Russ Kunkel and Liberty DeVitto are two of the most recorded and accomplished players in music today.
RICKSHAW Bags
Our intrepid reviewer, Owen Rubin, reviewed these fine Rickshaw bags on 10-30-08. His incisive review and great photos are a must for those needing a quality messenger-style bag. At the MWSF ’09 show Owen introduced me to Mark Dwight, owner and designer of these pragmatic and stunning bags. At the time I was carrying my MacBook around in a smallish backpack, along with MacWorld materials, and running out of room. Owen said, “come with me. I know exactly what you need.”
Audiobyte Computer Speakers w/ Amplifier – Review
One never knows what to expect when a company invites evaluation of the product they produce. I suppose they think that, for the money, their product can’t be beat. Well, guess what? There are lots of products out there which can be beat, easily, especially "for the money." I don’t know why some companies even bother putting out a product at all except for the fact that not everyone knows a good "widget" from a bad one. However, in our estimation, the Axiom Audiobyte Computer Speakers will stand with any home or professional speakers in their class.
atrio M8 PROFESSIONAL EARPHONES
Review
I’m glad to say I’ve met my spiritual sonic in-ear guru, atrio professional headphones by Future Sonics. These phones are the first I’ve found that fit me the way I believe the company would have it. And the amazing part is that the silicone sleeves that were already on the m8’s I received fit perfectly.
Zefyr
Review
At the core of Zefyr’s design is a high-thermal conduction interface compound, which enhances heat dissipation by providing a direct heat conduction path between MacBook’s bottom casing and Zefyr’s cast aluminum heat sink assembly.
