Dolled Up
To continue with my domestication house ware series, I wanted to show off these M-Cups that my friend Chris got me for Christmas. They’re “matryoshkas made to measure” and are a set of six dry-measure cups that nestle neatly just like traditional Russian matryoshkas. I absolutely adore them and must say that having fun kitchenware [...]
A Pictorial Guide To Avoiding Camera Loss
Andrew McDonald, an “author, writer, and biped from Melbourne, Australia,” came up with an idea to keep some photos on your camera with contact info in case you misplace it and the person who found it is gracious enough to try to return it to you.

A Photo Credit Doesn’t Pay The Rent
When I completed my internship with Monte Isom, the most amazing businessman I know and fantastic celebrity athlete photographer, we went to Crif Dogs to celebrate and have a nice communal dinner of hot dogs (a staple when working with that crew and when visiting New York). First of all, it may sound silly to [...]
