Review: Olympus OM-D E-M5 Mark II
It’s been three years since Olympus first rolled out their highly successful OM-D line of cameras with the E-M5.

Review: Olympus OM-D E-M5
A New Flagship? When Olympus announced their latest camera, the OM-D E-M5, there was more buzz among the photographic community for this release than there had been for probably any other Micro 4/3 camera since the original E-P1. Olympus resurrected their legendary ‘OM’ system name for this camera, creating a new line of Olympus Micro…

Random Shots From Yesterday
Getting time to shoot… Well, despite being crazy busy at work, I actually found some time to shoot yesterday. The first shot, to the left (click to enlarge) was a shot I’ve been meaning to take for months. I drive past it every week on a way to a meeting. It’s just off the highway. …
