Visiting Colorado in the fall is like hitching a ride on a fast-spinning carousel and looking through a kaleidoscope at the same time. Mother Nature serves up a magnificent show to visitors and photographers from all over the world in late September (if she’s on time). However, there are some traps. As most of you [...]

Thoughts about XF Lenses and XF 16mm F1.4
Some of you asked us about a brand new addition to the Fuji XF line of lenses – XF 16mm F1.4. In short – we are not getting this lens. Don’t get us wrong. Based on early reviews and samples, we are confident that Fuji has produced another winner: all metal, sharp and bright with [...]
Happy Easter
The blessing of the food is one of the most beautiful Eastern European traditions. Families bring baskets of Easter food to be blessed on Holy Saturday.

We are very honoured to join the ranks of such great photographers as Damien Lovegrove, Marco Larousse, Jorge Ledesma and many others. Jorge writes: “Origami is the Japanese art of folding paper into decorative or representational forms. At the collective we think [...]
Photo Hoarding And How To Avoid It
If I were to choose one advantage of film over digital cameras it would be constraint. “What is he talking about?” you may ask. Back in the good old days, a film had 36 exposures max, and many of us went on photo trips with just a few rolls of film. This limitation meant that [...]
