Why I Switched Back to Things 3 for Task Management
Back in 2022, I wrote about why I kept coming back to Todoist. That is no longer the case. My work system is dialed in. My personal task/project system is, occasionally, pure chaos. It’s a rotating cast of apps. I realize that switching apps all of the time makes me part of the problem. Shiny... Continue Reading →
TUESDAY TIPS: Tv Setting
We've covered the Av setting in a previous blog post, so now it's time to go over the Tv setting. If you haven't read the Av post, it wouldn't hurt to check it out, because there are some basics there that aren't duplicated in this post. Tv is like Av in that it allows you... Continue Reading →

iPhone 17 Pro Max Review
I don’t generally update my phone every year, but last year I opted to do the AT&T Up Next Anytime thing for $10/month. I figured I might as well get my money’s worth. I did not do the Up Next Anytime thing this year, and I plan on going back to my usual two year... Continue Reading →
GFC Molle Panel Install
When I first bought my GFC camper, I spent hours combing through accessories and build-outs trying to get ideas for my own. One of the items on my must-have list was the molle panel that installs around the front window of the camper. There was a third-party company that made them, but they were consistently...

Sabrina’s Golden Hour Paddle Board Shoot
Back in August, Sabrina and I headed down to the river for a paddle board shoot. It’s a spot I’ve driven past many times, but this is the first time I’ve stopped. I’ve been craving a water shoot for a while now, and even though the river wasn’t deep enough to get every shot I... Continue Reading →
The Red Jacket
Sabrina and I are getting pretty good at the quick impromptu shoots. There was a red leather jacket that we knew would look amazing on her, so we had to squeeze in a shoot the other day. No grand location--just a cool brick building downtown. We work well together, and I can't wait to see... Continue Reading →
What is Digital Signage (and Why Your Business Should Care)
You’ve seen it everywhere—from the menu at your favorite taco joint to the screen informing you of the latest and greatest products available at your nearest electronics store. Digital signage is quietly taking over the world, and most people don’t even realize it. But if you’re in marketing or comms, digital signage isn’t just a... Continue Reading →
Down by the river
I had the opportunity to work with a new model earlier this week. It’s always a little nerve-wracking to work with a new collaborative model. It’s not like hiring someone for a commercial shoot where the outcomes are clearly identified prior to showing up. It’s more of a, “show up and see if we have... Continue Reading →
First Camping Trip of 2025
We hit 70º last Wednesday, so I decided to throw the dog and the cameras in the truck and run up to Willow Creek for the night. 100% worth it. The sunsets have been lacking lately, so it was a gamble. It paid off, though. There’s nothing better than sitting by the camp fire with... Continue Reading →
DJI Service Kudos
I got my first DJI drone back in 2016—a Phantom 3 Standard—and it was the perfect starter drone. I flew it all over the Coast Range in Oregon, random spots in Montana, and a few neighborhoods. In 2017, I upgraded to a Mavic, and I’m still flying it eight years later. I don’t use it... Continue Reading →
