Olympus Releases the E-M5!

Posted on February 7, 2012February 7, 2012 by Jordan Steele

The much leaked and highly anticipated Olympus E-M5 is finally here.  Olympus has finally released the “professional” grade Micro 4/3 camera they’ve been promising for years.  Will it measure up to the hype?

Finding Abstract Beauty

Posted on February 6, 2012 by Jordan Steele

One of the things that I love about photography is finding beauty in line and form, especially in finding a view or perspective in objects that most people will pass by.  I especially love this when shooting architecture or travel photography. It is really a fun way to explore a place that I may have…

When is your camera good enough?

Posted on February 5, 2012February 5, 2012 by Jordan Steele

As an active member in several on-line photographic communities, I read a lot of photographers’ opinions on a wide range of subjects: photographic technique, inspirational photos, business and the quality of camera gear.  One trend I’ve noticed with the rapid pace of improvement in digital imaging is that many photographers get so caught up in…

New Tokina 300mm – Someone Who Gets It

Posted on February 3, 2012February 3, 2012 by Jordan Steele

I have always had a soft spot for Tokina lenses.  When I first got into photography, one of my absolute favorite lenses was the Tokina 12-24mm f/4 for my Canon DSLR.  Amazingly built lens, great optics.  Felt like a truly pro-grade lens for a reasonable price.  Tokina recently entered the Micro 4/3 fray and has…

Pentax K-01 Announced – My Thoughts

Posted on February 2, 2012February 2, 2012 by Jordan Steele

Today, Pentax announced their large sensor entry into the mirrorless camera market.  The camera has a 16 MP APS-C sized sensor, and that should be great.

Finding Texaco

Posted on February 1, 2012February 1, 2012 by Jordan Steele

Here in Ohio, the Texaco brand is defunct. There are no current Texaco stations in the state, at least to my knowledge. However, every once in a while, you may pass by an old abandoned gas station, and they sort of look the same. Dilapidated, grungy, old. It is rare that you pass by a…
