Skype for iPhone released
Not in Canada, eh? Pity. Oh well, it crashes anyways: Update: Looks like the crashing is only a problem on jailbroken iPhones…updating Cydia seems to stop the crashing!

BiehlerCam is born
Inspired by something Peter told me about that Moose Peterson mentions in his videos, I wanted to find a way to mount another camera on top of my Nikon D90 with the goal being to capture the process of shooting photos sort of through my eyes. Moose calls it his MooseCam but I couldn’t actually…

Create amazing photo collages
This is some pretty slick software, called Shape Collage, available for Mac/PC/Linux and it’s FREE! I pointed the application to a few hundred iPhone photos (most of them from SXSW) on my computer (it can also traverse web url’s for photos or even my local Aperture library), then hand drew a cactus shape and it…

Kodak Zx1 First Impressions
Last year I was able to check out Kodak’s first foray into the handheld HD camera arena when they lent me a Zi6 for a month. When I sent it back, I immediately picked one up as soon as they were available locally. While not perfect, it was a great little camera for my purposes….

More iPhone macro shooting
I finally got around to trying out the macro feature of the lens adaptors I bought awhile ago for my iPhone (which I can also use on my Zi6 which has it’s own macro mode): You basically just have to unscrew the wide angle lens and it breaks down into two parts – the macro…

Getting to SXSW 2009
Today was a travel day for getting to Austin, Texas for SXSW Interactive. Of course, this meant that I brought a bunch of camera gear with me onto the plane…including this handy little suction cup gorilla pod mount for my Zi6 HD camera that you can see on the right. I also added the fisheye…

Illuminate Yaletown
Last month, after Northern Voice wrapped up, there was a unique event being held in a part of downtown Vancouver called Yaletown that seemed like an ideal photographic subject. Basically a couple of city blocks were closed to vehicle traffic and a number of light installations were set up by local artists. There were also…

Joe McNally Photography Workshop
This past weekend I attended one day of the ImageQuest Professional Photographers Convention in Richmond. I kept waiting for someone to ask me to leave since I don’t consider myself a professional photographer. The only reason I wanted to attend was in order to see Joe McNally’s session. I’ve seen a number of videos he’s…
