The new site will feature larger images and a cleaner look, not to mention over thirty images almost nobody has seen.

Two Nikon lens coffee mugs have been seen on the internet. I’m drooling over them already. (if they are real)

Costco’s Hilarious Display Error

I can’t help but feel that Clint Eastwood’s box set mock-up was either not done accurately or the person who approved it was high.

Since the beauty of fireworks are the light trails they make, it’s best to use a longer shutter speed.

Get rid of haze in your photos the lazy man way

Everybody has photos like these in their collection whether they use a $50 point-and-shoot or a 5k DSLR: images with a lot of haze and no punch to them at all. I decided today to browse through some images that would normally not be included on my site just to show you how to add a little more life to them.

The area reminds me a lot of Tijuana, with vendors and food carts everywhere. This is also where we’ve been to many fashion parties. It’s at these events where this district flops upside down. It’s one way on the streets and a completely other behind closed doors in some of these showrooms.
