“The Four Seasons of Namiki” Tearsheets
You might remember a couple of Podcast episodes that I released last year, in which I covered two photography assignments that I’d done for a client in Paris.

Almost Too Easy!
Things are getting so easy! This is a good thing of course, most of the time… When I first bought my Canon Pixus Pro 9500 printer, the first time I had to change an ink cartridge I was lost. I’d been used to having to press buttons for a number of seconds etc. to get [...]
Changes to the MBP Podcast Feed
The file that iTunes or other RSS feeds reads to see if there are new podcasts out got a little bit bloated with all the information for the 200 episode archive. Because of this, I decided to put it on a diet, and made a few major changes.
