Bruce Osborn Explores Parent-Child Dynamics in Japan with “OYAKO”

Case in point is the work of Tokyo-based Bruce Osborn titled OYAKO: An Ode to Parents and Children, which gives us a peek into the relationship and dynamics between parents and children in Japan. The idea for this series -- which has been made into a book as well -- came while he was doing another assignment, but more than just a side project, it evolved into a more meaningful pursuit to share a slice of Japanese life and culture.

How I Shop: Ashanti

We all buy clothes, but no two people shop the same. It can be a social experience, and a deeply personal one; at times, it can be impulsive and entertaining, at others, purpose-driven, a chore. Where do you shop? When do you shop? How do you decide what you need, how much to spend and what's ...

Modern Camera Makers Need to Stop Sitting Pretty and Start Majorly Innovating

The more I look at the capabilities of smartphones and the more that I step into meetings with bigger photography technology companies, the more I start to wonder what traditional camera manufacturers think about staying ahead of the curve. If the sloth-like pace for them to create full frame mirrorless cameras and lenses is any indication, then I'm really scratching my head. Phone manufacturers, photography software companies and other companies are doing more things than ever to replace traditional cameras. When I hear verbiage like "giving designers the power to create photo-realistic images without paying for expensive photo shoots" I see the intent for disruption simply for personal profit. But I see other things too; most folks can't tell the difference between a photo taken with a traditional camera and a phone anymore. In fact, if you didn't look at the EXIF data you probably wouldn't be able to tell. This is just one of the many features of the mobile web.
