As many of us, including myself, prepare to travel this summer, we -- as photographers -- tend to carry a lot of lithium batteries for our photography gear. After all, we aren’t going to check our precious and pricey cameras, lenses, and other equipment. Naturally, batteries are a necessary component of any photographer’s kit, whether they be camera batteries, lithium-ion AA or AAA batteries, or something else.
Two filmmakers created a short film, "Volcano for the People," that explores the recent Iceland volcano eruption less as a natural phenomenon, but more as a collective experience that brings humanity together.
Traveling and photography go hand-in-hand, but without the right gear it can also be a pain. Fortunately, there's some great affordable travel photography accessories out there that will make traveling with a camera a joy.
You’re hitting the road and your camera is at the top of the old checklist. Your goal is to make photographs that will be memorable and bring back the feelings of being there. So how can you do that?
Photography is not about the camera. It’s not even about the beautiful images we create. It is about telling powerful stories. Photography is a tool for creating awareness and understanding across cultures, communities, and countries; a tool to make sense of our commonalities in the world we share. I believe the way to find common ground is by seeing yourself in others.
