Make The Memories IRL with FUJI Instax

First posted this about a year ago, but I think that it deserves another posting. When you go out , or party in for New Years. sure the phone may be your camera of choice, and maybe everything you see is so transitory that am IG story, or Snap will suffice.

But maybe the people you ring in the 2024 with, and the events surrounding it deserves a real life, in your hand, photograph. The printer below will let you take any image from your phone and print it out. Add a cardboard frame to make sure it’s displayed

The instant print game is pretty much owned by Fuji with the Instax line of printers.
That is not an opinion, it a fact.
As an Instax enthusiast forever, I love the instant gratification of the print in hand, and while I enjoy all the phone filters I can use to digitally share photos, there is something about a physical thing in your hand.

Have a look at this vid for a great walk through at this new addition: Continue Reading »

Photoinduced: How it Started, How Its Going

As the year ends, a little look back on how Photoinduced came to be.
After leaving a production executive position at a large ad agency late 2004, I wanted to see what was around the corner.
There was an idea that had been rambling around my head for awhile.
A place for photographers to go with a wide range of subjects addressing all of the joys of the world of photography.
Interviews with masters, gear reviews, gallery notices, and resources. This is what became Photoinduced.
Below is a post from 5 years ago about the journey, which continues today.
My deepest thanks to all of the loyal readers, the brands that have shared the latest in tech, and the photographers I have the utmost respect for, whom I’ve had the honor to interview.
This is kind of an origin story.
#TBT
13 years ago today, I woke up and wrote the 5 pg draft to a new business idea. A website, tied to on-demand content, with video downloadable to a phone for mobile consumption. There was a cable channel woven in, and a social media play (not sure if I called it that back then) It was photography based, and not my photography, but photography as a whole. Some of you out there may remember signing an NDA.
Yes, people thought I was nuts making a digital play, and who would have watched any full up video on a phone? Pipes
were not built yet to handle that, and phones were flip or blackberry.

Holiday Gift Guide #6: For The Road Warrior & Hybrid Worker

Whether you’re traveling or working from the home office, you need the right tools.
Or maybe it’s just the coffee shop, you want tools to help make it as easy as possible.
This is a big category, and I’ll try to group them into categories.

All of the items here I have used in the real world, and highly recco. The photos are large so you can see the details.

At home:
First of all, you want to have your laptop at a proper angel for comfort.
Twelve South has a perfect stand for that: The Curve


It’s a great height, and I just add on a  bluetooth keyboard and trackpad.
Then you want to be able to use your phone to possibly face time while reviewing work on the computer. Rolling Square makes a well-made, and elegant solution for this.


Reviewed here as well. 
With a modular system and magnets, your magsafe phone can be attached to your laptop and angle to the perfect spot. And it folds or is removable for travel.
Pick up an additional mag plate and one of their lights and you have a sleek working environment. Or even a charging plate.
A great stocking stuffer, is their InCharge  6 in 1 charging cable. Always have the right connector! Continue Reading »

Holiday Gift Guide #5 – The Audio!

Ok, let’s talk about audio.
You know that it’s 50% of your content, unless it’s bad. Then it’s 80%

Yes, this list hasn’t changed a lot from last year, except for a few big additions:

When you want to go more mobile, and connect directly into your camera , or to a portable mixer, the latest from Rode, the Rode Wireless Pro just works . With a receiver and 2 wireless mics, you can quickly hook up your subjects for an interview situation. Plus this new setup gets you 2 lavalier mics for a more discreet mic situation.And finally, a compact charging and storage cage. In NYC, I’ve seen the local news station using these as they cover the local beat.

This new version features a 32 bit float, which is essentially a secondary recording that can ensure a quality recording when you go to edit. N0t able to use direct into your camera, but it’s your audio  insurance. Read more about 32 bit floats here.
Good news is that it is also compatible with a lot of other Rode products. Honestly it may be a bit harder to find due to the popularity, but worth the hunt.

Another solid choice is the Deity Duo, Continue Reading »
