    I’m getting a Sony APS-C mirrorless camera – what should my first lens be?

    I convinced a friend of mine to jump on getting a Sony A6000 as this is, in the opinion of more than a few pro photographers, currently the single best value camera on the market.  His next question, naturally, was “what lens do I get for this camera?”

    Consulting  – The Business Side of Software Development

    Back in January of this year I finally signed up for Brennan Dunn’s DYFC Masterclass.  I say finally because I had it in my mind to do so, for several years now, ever since my colleague Joel Hooks gave an overwhelming testimonial for it.  When I signed up, I got DYFR for free, along with a ton […]
