I am dusting off my blog!

Written by Doug on December 30, 2016 — Leave a Comment

I have not been to CES in 2 years. While I am waiting for my media credentials to be approved, I thought I would dust off my blog. Life has been busy. Summers helping family with a campground we owned, the rest of the time running a photography accessory company, The Lens Flipper . Seems that I […]

WPPI Overall Experience:

I had the pleasure of spending two days at WPPI. Not as long as I would have liked, but sometimes life comes with a full schedule! Fortunately, the experience I did have there was perfect. One my first day there, I began my adventure on the show floor getting familiar with the vendors and what […]

Snapshot Smartphone Camera Remote

How many times did you really want a remote camera trigger for your phone? Trying to use a pole like xShot? Shaxon has a nice solution. The Snapshot Smartphone Camera Remote. Now, I don’t know exactly how it works. It does not pair through Bluetooth. You do need to download the app, in iTunes or Google […]

Go undercover tech geek!

One of the coolest items I seen at CES this year was the Tech Slinger (www.techslinger.com). It’s a harness for your tablet, cellphone, and who knows what else you might have to carry. It can be a single or double sling. I used CES to test out the Tech Sling. I must say a full size iPad3 AND […]

Imagin the horror!

Back in September my wife and I spent a few much needed days at our favorite spot, Disneyland. On our last day, we had a call from our neighbor letting us know someone broke into our house.  It was a very long trip home. When I opened the door, the first thing I saw was a box […]

This is a social media test. As i get more into using social media and blogging I am finding I need some programing help. This is only a test.

The only thing stopping this TurnStyle sling from being perfect is my equipment’s weight.

A few years ago, I had the opportunity to test the “Sling-O-Matic” by ThinkTankPhoto. It seemed to be a little bulky, and did not work well for me at conventions. Also, after a while my back started to ache. Of course, it does not help that I have a Canon 1dMark III and a 100-400, […]

A message about ThinkTankPhoto, the company..

Written by Doug on March 11, 2013 — Leave a Comment

I had the privilege of taking a member of ThinkTankPhoto to photo deadline room during a recent NASCAR race in Las Vegas. It was fun to watch his amazement of all the photographers using ThinkTank. But what surprised me the most was all the praise photographers have for ThinkTank. There was not one negative comment that I heard. […]
