Stop constantly upgrading your gear, it’s making you miserable

GoPro – I’ve Lost That Lovin’ Feelin’
My GoPro and I have hit a bit of a rocky stretch in our relationship. I’m not sure yet if we’re heading for divorce, but we’re defiantly not newlyweds anymore.
The last straw was when my GoPro Hero 3 Black Edition decided to fry its 64 GB SanDisk Ultra micro SDXC memory card in the middle of a shoot.
But it’s not just the technical problems I’ve been having with my GoPro that have been bothering me – we’ve kind of drifted apart artistically as well.

Sigma 35mm f/1.4 – Hands On Review
I have been hearing a lot of buzz about the Sigma 35mm f/1.4 for a while now, but up until now, I haven’t had the chance to try one out on a real gig.
As a pro photographer, I learned a long time ago that it is a bad idea to make photo gear decisions based on cost – it’s just better to buy the best equipment for the job.
But in this case, it’s pretty hard to argue with a lens that costs about half of its name brand competitors.
In this article I’ll share my hands on experience with the Sigma 35mm f/1.4 lens and some sample photos.

The Mogopod Is One Heck Of A Versatile Monopod
Mogopod’s claim to fame is that they are the “world’s most versatile monopod“. This is quite a heavy claim, so I was pretty excited to get one to try it out. The short story is – I love it! for an in depth review, dive in.
AA Batteries for Photography Accessories
I use a lot of AA batteries. So many in fact that finding them all and getting them charged up for a gig has become a significant bottleneck in my workflow.
I have finally realized that it is time for a more sophisticated system to actually manage all of the batteries that I need – as opposed to the old system which mostly consisted of pulling batteries out of my kid’s toys, TV remotes (or wherever else my AA batteries had migrated to) and then shoving them into ten different chargers the day before a big shoot.
Lensbaby And Photojournalism – A Lens Review
Being part of the news and documentary photography business in Israel I usually work with the classic “hard-core” equipment, Canon 5D Mark II camera and the 16-35, 70-200 L type lenses. The equipment is minimal, usually fitting two ‘Newswear’ pouches on my belt. Anything else stays home.
This is why I was excited to get something new, the Lensbaby lenses – a Composer Pro, Sweet 35 Optics, Soft Focus Optics and Fisheye Optics. While I never got to try them, I knew they were small and compact, something I can easily carry with me on my photographic journeys. I’ve read few reviews about those lenses but was always missing the unique angle of someone who took them on a news or documentary mission. I decided this would be the unique angle I will explore.
