This post is from a series of articles chronicling a 2020 cross-country trip with my wife and two daughters and a boyfriend, from California to Ohio (to visit family) and Pennsylvania (to drop off my oldest daughter at grad school), and then back. We spent over five weeks on the road…
(This post is part of a series of posts reviewing the Fuji 50mm f/1.0 lens.) Every December gear reviewers Chris and Jordan at DPReview TV put out a video naming the year's best and worst in cameras and lenses. They make it a trivia game and not only pick winners…
(Note: This article is part of a series.) Prior installments of this series grouped a decade of articles from the New York Times into a single post. No more. There are too many listings over a ten-year period. Going forward I will break the listing into manageable chunks, in this…
(This post is part of a guided tour of my book, Computational Photography, on sale now for $49.95 with free shipping.) I published a book of my work earlier this year, the books arrived in January, during the early days of the pandemic. The experience of developing this book ranks…

My book, Computational Photography, is now on sale for $49.95—normally $75.95—including Media Mail shipping! If you prefer you can download the high-resolution PDF for six dollars off, only $8.95! I have a book and it's Black Friday. It took me until yesterday for it to occur to me that maybe…
(This post is part of an ongoing review of the iPhone 12 Pro Max.) When I first turned down Cima road from I-15 I was relieved. The news reports in August had been depressing, nighttime videos of firemen battling a forest of Joshua trees aflame, one clip showing what appeared…
I messed up with yesterday's post. Yesterday I talked about Sidney Powell, the lawyer for the Trump Campaign who went too far with her craziness, revealing that it was indeed possible to go too far in the Trump Campaign organization. I talked about Rush Limbaugh and the strategic Tucker Carlson,…
