The Vahagraphy YouTube channel took to the streets of Newport Beach, California to quiz people about photography, asking things like: "How much would you pay for a wedding photographer?"

Photographers and filmmakers constantly argue over what camera takes better images and video, but when asked to pick whether footage was shot by a Canon or Sony camera, these YouTubers struggle to tell them apart.

In 2019, photographer and YouTuber Jared Polin -- also known as FroKnowsPhoto -- received an all-access pass for 48 hours in order to document the presidential campaign of Senator Bernie Sanders. He is seeking backing on Kickstarter for what will feature around 100 photos in a 256-page book.

Even though everybody knows how important it is to insure their photography gear, few people ever get organized enough to actually do it. It's just too much of a pain in the rear... well, it was. A new app called MyGearVault makes organizing and insuring your gear so easy, you're out of excuses.

Apple has a distinctive style when it comes to product images promoting its gadgets. After seeing the teaser image for the new Apple Watch, photographer Jared Polin of FroKnowsPhoto decided that he would try his hand at recreating the shot as closely as possible.

If you don't mind shelling out $880 on a single memory card and putting all your eggs in one basket, you can buy Lexar's 512GB CF card (or SanDisk's 512GB SD card for $600).

In mid-January, Nikon started offering completely free repairs for D750 to fix the flare issue that was discovered in some units.

Many photographers love photo-themed T-Shirts -- from camera brand-specific ones, to the cool offerings of Dodge & Burn, all the way to funny and maybe inappropriate shirts like the Camera Sutra.

Is it okay for a professional photographer to try and crowdfund a new camera? It seems like the answer to that is No, if you go by the response to pro wedding photographer Stephen Yanni's recent GoFundMe campaign. A campaign that raised no money, but a whole lot of outrage, before being ultimately pulled.

It wouldn't be the weekend without some interesting (and maybe a little silly) DIY project for the tinkerers out there. Last weekend it was turning an old film canister into an LED flashlight; this week we give you: how to turn an old SLR and lens into a DIY peephole for your apartment.

Photographer Jared Polin recently had the opportunity to photograph the musician Macklemore in concert. Fortunately, instead of just shooting the three song set and moving on with his life, he brought his GoPro along to give interested photographers a taste of what it's like taking photos from the pit at a packed out concert.
