It started with the Hasselblad XPan, which led me to purchase the Fujifilm TX-1, and even made me go further into the 3D printed 120 format world with Sasquatch, CCB, and Exposing Engineering.

We were sitting on a train between neighborhoods in Osaka, Japan, when Chris Niccolls turned to me. "I'm thinking of buying a new camera," he said. I was shocked.

Low-budget horror movies aren't for everyone. But it's difficult to ignore Obsession, which just raked in over $30 million in ticket sales over the Memorial Day weekend, taking it to $80 million worldwide. Not bad for a film that was made for just $1 million.

Thirteen years ago, I sat in an amphitheater in Los Angeles as Adobe announced that it would be shifting from Creative Suite to Creative Cloud. I remember being skeptical, but I was also willing to give Adobe the benefit of the doubt. After all, it created a beloved line of tools.

When I was in college, I had the opportunity to spend a semester abroad in Florence, Italy to study. There, I took a "Chemistry of Art" class that culminated in a visit to the Opificio delle Pietre Dure, where priceless works of art are on display. It is also where many are stored and maintained.
