The Rig: Brian Dunlea

My name is Brian Dunlea. I’m a portrait and landscape photographer, but I dabble in street photography as well. I’m not a professional and I’m very new to photography. I started in January 2012 with a view to starting a songwriting site. I’ve been a drummer/singer/guitarist since I was 15.

The Rig: Donovan Bond

Name’s Donovan Bond. I live in Toronto, Canada with my wife Melissa, and 4 cats. My last job was as a “Senior Art Director” at a marketing agency. I would typically hire photographers rather than actually be one, but I was always the one who’d shoot parties, events, and employee headshots.

Cullman Magic II Review and the Fuji X100/s

Cullman Magic II ― when Innovation meets Design, the ultimate travel tripod for Fuji X Series Cameras. It is rare to have products completely transform an aspect of your photography. Sometimes, its a lens that we fall in love, we absolutely love the bokeh, other times its a camera in and of itself very much like the Fuji X series but other times, its something we didn’t quite expect it would ― a tripod, in this case an amazing tripod for the Fuji X series cameras in my opinion ― the Cullman Magic II with the Cross CB6.1 ball head (with a quick release plate). The Cullman Magic II is an almagamation of technology and design both meeting at cross roads to provide a product that completely fulfills a need in travel photography and other uses as well. As we all know, tripod stability is of paramount importance in order to attain pin sharpness in our exposure and I can wholeheartedly say the Cullman Magic II provides that and much more .

Documentary Photography: Capturing the Moment

    I really have no words to quantify the meaning of this image. Here are my parents in a full embrace that only they understand, they are in their world, a world without children, a world where its just them holding each other and remembering what the last 48 years has been. Its a moment that one cherishes forever and I’m glad I was able to capture it and save it for eternity. Long live documentary photography!
