Back on December 19 of last year I was lamenting the changes in iPad iOS 4.2 that lowered the power to the power to the iPad 30-pin connector resulting in an inability to download CF cards to the iPad through a card reader. The reduction in power from 100 mA to 20 mA meant that the iPad no longer provided sufficient power to read a CF card through a USB card reader and iPad Camera Connection Kit combo. The only […]
Well. another Super Bowl has come and gone and this year’s champs are the Green Bay Packers. At least Pittsburgh made a game of it and it wasn’t a runaway blowout. Maybe it’s my New Orleans connection, but the end of this year’s game seemed to be missing something when I cast my mind back a year to the Saints’ historic win.

So I was reading Terry White’s guest blog on Scott Kelby’s Photoshop Insider today about his workflow and found his comments on editing down the collection – deleting the bad photos – to resonate with the comments from Joe McNally in the clip I blogged about on December 29, 2010.

Among the takeaways are: Get it right in the camera (to spend less time at the computer) Experiment Be tough on yourself when you edit the photos you’ve taken Learn to shoot video Have fun! While the camera can handle the […]

I wrote in an earlier post back in May of my experiences uploading images from a CF card via the USB connector in the Apple iPad Camera Connection Kit. The card reader I was using at the time was an old USB 1.1 which was contributing to the slow upload speed. I spoke about this with David Ziser when he was in Houston and he recounted he wasn’t […]
So, after several weeks and several false starts my first book is now available! You can preview and order it below. The ‘Lady Be Good’ by Richard Davis | Make Your Own Book I decided to use the Lady Be Good as my first book as I still find this to be a compelling story all these years later. In short, in 1943 a B-24D Liberator bomber took off on it’s first mission of the war and never returned. No […]
