About

What we do

News 

We don’t regurgitate press releases.  

If we write about a product launch, we won’t just tell you what it is, but why it matters (or not) based on our experience and professional opinion. If we don’t have anything to add to the conversation, we won’t cover it.

Features

Grab some coffee — or a beer. 

Photo essays. Interviews. How-tos. Opinions. Lazy day entertainment. Late night inspiration. This is what you can expect in our features section. Eventually.

Reviews 

Personal and story-driven.

Our goal is not to facilitate a quick purchasing decision, but to provide real-world, experiential opinions of a product. We want our reviewers to write from their hearts as much as their minds.  

There are many excellent photo tech review sites. We aren’t trying to beat them at their own game (that would be impossible). We’re taking a different angle. 

Explainers 

Because nobody’s a know-it-all.

From techniques and how-tos to deep dives into technology and gear, our explainers are written for anyone to understand.
