Last week I released a maintenance update for my Stream Deck plugin library.

A friend of mine, who's also a photographer, offered me a couple of broken Profoto Acute strobe packs a few months ago on the condition I do something cool with them.

Recently I released an update for Take Stock that added a number of features I've wanted to have since the first release.

A couple years ago I built a GameBoy app and hardware accessory for controlling Capture One.

I was doing some digital organization today, including importing photos from my M240, which I apparently neglected to do over the holidays.

A few weeks ago I visited Urban Ore with some friends, one of whom, a fellow digital tech, pointed out some old-ish theatre fresnel spot lights.

Recently a photographer asked me whether there was a better way to build very large TIFFs, a grid of tens of thousands of smaller images, in gigapixel range.

In March I released a new app, Capturebot 2, and over the last few months I've been fixing bugs and adding a bevy of new features.

Last week I travelled to Greece for the first time, in part of join Capture One and work with their engineers1, but also to explore Athens.

I really like the idea of interacting with computers in ways other than the keyboard and mouse, especially in ways that can control applications without concern for focus.

For the past few months I've been working on a brand new app to help digital techs on set.

The first app update of the year goes to First Contact with a minor update bringing enhanced menu bar functionality, some bug fixes, and support for images with an alpha channel.

The latest version of First Contact, which is out now, has been in development for a over a year, and represents a nearly complete rewrite of the app from the ground up.

A new update for the Capture One Stream Deck plugin just hit the marketplace featuring six new actions and over 20 new image adjustments available on the Stream Deck + dials.

I've had a long term obsession with 3D printing a medium format camera.

Looking back over what I’ve (mostly privately) written about XOXO I’m surprised to find a clear arc.

All the way back in May I got a bad idea: Capture One for the GameBoy.

Far too long ago I announced a major new version of ScreeningRoom, thinking that its release was both just around the corner and that it was unquestionably better in all ways.

In high school I loved playing a little Flash game called Planarity.

It's a been a little while since the last Capture One Stream Deck plugin update, but it's worth the wait.

I have a fairly extensive1 collection of film cameras.

When Capture One announced they were releasing Capture One for iPhone a lot of digital techs rolled their eyes.

As I've been doing more motion work there are often aspects of that workflow I'd like to take advantage of in my stills workflow with Capture One.

Last year I got a Flanders Scientific DM241, and was thrilled to find many of its functions could be controlled remotely.

Digitial techs spend a lot of time organizing files; it's our primary job.

Guidelines got its first update of the year, and its biggest update to date, yesterday.

One of the primary jobs of a DT, especially on a high volume set, is managing images as they come in.

Photos from my December trip to the Big Apple.

ScreeningRoom started off as basically a "what if" project, and has grown to be one of my most popular apps.

I'm pleased to annount two big updates to the Capture One Stream Deck plugin.

The photographer I’ve been working with the last few days has really liked the idea of getting a 9 up grid of images to page through, and obviously as that’s something that takes more than ~7 seconds to do I wrote a little script to do it for me.

I'd like to introduce a new app I've been working on called First Contact, a quick and easy way to create contact sheets.

Recently I've been working on building out a more reliable network for my cart.

In January I announced ScreeningRoom, and yesterday I released the third update of the year!

Last year I released Capturebot Lite, an app designed to do one thing: create folders.

A while ago saw a link to some old LED hexadecimal displays, DL2416s, little four character modules that accept ASCII and have an LED matrix for the display.

After, checks notes, three years without any updates I scrapped my original background script plugin and replaced it with a proper application.

A project that I've been working on for quite some time is figuring out a good way to do room occupancy using thermopile sensors.

infomercial black & white Has this ever happened to you: you're in the middle of a shoot, images coming in faster than the computer can keep up with, and suddenly you notice something's wrong.

A common occurrence on photo sets is to be running multiple monitors; for the AD, client, stylist, etc.

Earlier this week I got nerd-sniped by a video about Newton's Fractal, which covered Fun Facts about finding the roots of polynomials that result in a fractal pattern.

A while back I bought a genuine Art Cube1 on a whim, as I'm wont to do.

It's been a little while since I've released an update to Capturebot, but after a couple betas earlier this year version 2021.1 is ready to go.

A while ago I picked up a Voigtländer Brillant from Seawood Photo.

A couple days ago I completed a new series of plots based on spirals radiating out from a central circle.

I’ve been meaning to revisit my ray tracing system for a while, but never really had the motivation to dive back in.

Over the summer, while California was in the middle of fire season I decided , mostly out of a morbid curiosity I suppose, to monitor the air quality inside my house.

I've been having a little bit of "plotters block" recently, but I finally started making some new plots today.

Last week I was listening to the latest episode of Make Do and near the end the conversation turned to generic art from a department store.
