Here were some things that caught my eye on the convention floor.

Black and White Photography, Why?
Why would anyone want to shoot photos in black and white when we’ve got COLOR?
Why I Prefer My Classic Canon 5D Mark I Over My Mirrorless Micro Four Thirds Camera
Why would a camera that was released in 2005 still be considered over the many new cameras that are out today?
Free online math flash cards that I made
Got a phone, computer, or tablet? You can practice doing math in your head!
As a parent of young children, I observed their tablet time throughout the week. I mean, which kid doesn’t love their tablets? Lately, I’ve introduced them to the idea that tablets are more than just devices to watch baseball highlights, cat videos, and games. It was also a key to unlock the world’s knowledge all in the palm of their hands. So since I have a background in writing code, I made a procedurally generated math quiz… basically, online math flashcards that get harder and harder as the player progresses and level up.
Reasons to shoot film in a digital photography world
When I mention that I started shooting film again, most responses I get are usually, “Isn’t it more expensive to shoot film?” or “But film photographs look, old/retro.” It’s true, all of the above is correct. But, in my opinion, there are benefits that have been somewhat overlooked or forgotten about with this old medium. Let’s cover a few of them.

Hornblower Cruise with John Rzeznik of the Goo Goo Dolls
In May, I had a chance to board the Hornblower Cruise to attend a performance featuring John Rzeznik of the Goo Goo Dolls and Star 94.1 on the San Diego Bay.
Donald Trump Rally in San Diego
So Donald J. Trump decided to stop by my city (San Diego, California) to have a rally. I got a chance to go down and snap a few pics. It was pretty intense inside the press box and outside on the street. In a way, it was kinda surreal because it felt like I was witnessing a pivotal point in American history happening in front of my eyes.
