Looking out of Gaudi's Casa Milo in Barcelona

I just wanted to point you to a couple of things going on the interwebs these days, with my name attached to them (yup, there are people who post stuff about me out there…kinda nuts if you want my opinion). Anyhow, here you go:

First, my Sigma Pro Gallery page is now up and running. I look pretty good in my white shirt. Yes I do. (my mom and my wife say I do). You can see it here (the page not the shirt, well the shirt too…).

Second, FstopGear is also featuring me in their “Week in the Life Series”. This is a six episode recounting of a scouting tour I did a couple of years ago in the Atlas Mountains of Morocco. Episode 1 to 6 are already out. You can start at episode 1 here.

Last but not least, my work  (16 images) is featured in the latest issue of the super awesome web photography magazine Camerapixo. My work appears alongside some other fabulous photographers. Hi-Res spreads and really neat page design showcases the photography in a unique way. Check it out here.

There is a business principle that essentially states that between Cheap, Good and Fast, you can only pick two at a time. Which would entail that you can NOT have good, fast and FREE. Well that was until now. Yes, ladies and gentlemen, the crew at Craft & Vision may have just set foot in unchartered territory for humanity and delivered on, wait for iiit, THE IMPOSSIBLE!

Today, Craft and Vision is releasing a new addition to their fantastic line-up, and you can get it, wait for iiit, FOR FREE!

“11 ways to improve your photography” is a fabulous collection of a fabulous hands-on, practical articles written by the following C&V photographers (David duChemin, Piet Van den Eynde, Andrew S. Gibson, Nicole S. Young, Alexandre Buisse, Stuart Sipahigil, Eli Reinholdtsen and Michael Frye). We are not talking here about some re-hashed, recycled materials. This is all new, all fresh, ready to help you take your photography to the next stage. The ebook explores topics as diverse as the power of the print and working on collaborative projects.

If you have read this far and still haven’t gotten to see it, I don’t really know what you’re waiting for .

I was approached by Sigma and asked if I was interested in a sponsorship. In essence, Sigma provides me with their lenses and, in return, I will give them access to some of the images I will make with those lenses.

What this means to you is that I now get to test a number of their offerings in the market firsthand and review them for you, providing you with additional information to make your purchasing decisions.

Now, like it is the case with all my sponsorships, I have every intention to remain objective and honest in my assessments. Sigma have assured me that I remain free to say what I truly think about their products. No questions asked. I greatly value honesty and will never recommend a product I cannot stand behind. I have used several Sigma lenses in the past and have enjoyed their strong build and quality, but rest assured that my reviews will always be direct and transparent.

Now, to promote their website, Sigma Canada has launched a contest with a prize package worth $1000. To get a chance to win and claim the goods, you only have to join the Sigma Canada website (http://www.sigmacanada.ca/mailing-list/) or upload Sigma photos to the Sigma User Gallery (http://www.sigmacanada.ca/sigma-user-gallery/) . The contest runs from now until December 31st.
