I was a little disappointed in the lack of a card reader built into the iPad, but then I saw this little tidbit on the iPad specs page…
Pretty handy, however it is an SD card reader—not CF card reader. And we don’t know just what you can do with the Photos app on there yet ... read more

Think about it… if it has a built-in memory card reader, is one big touch screen, and runs some kind of iPhoto-like app, imagine traveling with just this device and your camera (no laptop). Smaller, lighter, and what a great way to view your photos at the end of the day, on a massive iPhone-like screen.

Our friend, photographer Thomas Boyd is heading to the Rose Bowl, and sent us this dispatch from his living room…A five day sports trip poses some real packing problems.

Snow Leopard brought to the Mac the same location-aware services that the iPhone has, but few developers have really tapped into the potential of having the Mac being aware of its surroundings. The program Network Location is one of the first of these and it’s a perfect tool for the traveling Mac user.
Though the program’s ... read more

Before I get started here… I would love some suggestions from you guys on topics. Write to me and tell me what you want to read about. Obviously, related to travel photography. I can’t help you with your cat’s fleas or what wine to have with turkey (well actually I can, but this isn’t the ... read more

Contrary to popular belief, travel photography is not about photos. It’s about people, and about the little bits of their life that you get to share. When you’re on the road take the time to talk to the people around you. Even if you don’t end up with a killer shot (this portrait will win ... read more

The LA Times has a nice photo gallery from photographer Rick Loomis’ trip to Cuba on assignment a few years ago, and links to articles on the possibility of travel in Cuba for non-Cuban Americans.
I’d love to travel to Cuba, and this article is making it seem more likely that we’ll all be able ... read more

Travel photographers will, at some point, be stopped by the police. In many countries there’s no freedom of speech or press and as a result taking pictures isn’t a necessarily legal activity. I’ve been stopped by the police, I’ve been teargassed and I’ve hooked up with a group of French journalists to cover an event, ... read more

We all know the iPhone camera ain’t half bad. Pair it with one of the dozens (hundreds?) of camera apps on the iTunes Store and you could have yourself something pretty cool. One of my recent favorites is AutoStitch for making little in-phone panoramas. It’s simple and awesome! What a great way to show off ... read more

Any travel related photo products, news, etc. that I see, I’ll be sure to report back here!
If you’re at the ... read more

Looking for the “right” or “best” camera bag is like looking for the best pair of shoes. What’s the occasion? How long will you be out for? Where are you going? And what else are you wearing (OK that last one may not apply… well not to everyone, at least!)
It’s a tough question, and I’ll ... read more

I basically always have a camera with me, and the thought of going on a vacation, or even just out to dinner, without a “good” camera is a bit painful. I mean, what if I want to capture a moment and all I have is my iPhone camera? OK the iPhone rocks, frankly, but obviously ... read more
