A combination of Interactive, Film and Music make the SXSW Festival in Austin the best blend of pop culture events you can attend in a ten day period.
When you arrive they give you 3 muslin bags with designs signifying each portion of the festival and a guidebook for each. Welcome to Austin!
What does all of that mean? Continue Reading »

Nikon continues developing its Nikon 1 Series of mirrorless cameras, with the addition of the V3.
Sporting a 12,800 ISO at the top end, 20 frames per second, a new hyper auto-focus, and full 1080/60p HD video functionality, this cold be the only camera your family may need.
The all important wi-fi is now built-in, thankfully, so sharing your life moments will be almost as easy as usin your smart phone.
One thing you phone doesn’t have: the range of lenses available. Now they have added a sweet 70-300mm to the line up, selling for about $600. This will get you right up front with all of the action on the field, so you won’t miss a moment of your family’s active life.
A pocket rocket to be sure, this may become your lightweight choice whether you are a the family pro, or the pro looking for the pocket option.

What can you get for $2. today? A music video? A small cuppa coffee? A Lottery ticket?
How about a pretty dang robust photo editor for your mobile device?
I just got a hold of Handy Photo, and as I’m always on the lookout for cool new photo app, this one hit so many marks for a low cost it was time to share.
Plus at the end, I’ll turn you onto another app that will become a mainstay for you.
They are short and sweet but will give you the info to get the most out of the app and your photos.
Cloning, Selective Color/Exposure Controls, Textures, Filters, Frames, and a ton more.
here is the overview:
Yes, I have it on my iPhone, but I prefer it on the iPad just to have a larger worker area, and my fingers have a bit more chance of being precise.
Actually been using a POGO stylus for things like this.
One feature I particularly like is History function, so I can go back and see what destruction or enhancement I have wrought.
And HANDY PHOTO is available on iOS and Android!
