EM.'s Madd Ramblings

Photography is a fast growing, widely popular art form that has seen a huge explosion in recent years. With that comes a wealth of information that is extremely useful, but oftentimes overwhelming. With this blog, we will attempt to sort through the noise to find the latest trends, technology, equipment, techniques and information having the most impact on the photography world and try to make some sense of it all so that no matter what your level of expertise, you can walk away feeling fairly confident that you will have the tools needed to make informed decisions on how to progress your career and/or passion.

*DISCLAIMER*
Please keep in mind that the information provided on this blog are opinion pieces and that we are NOT responsible for any actions you may take based on them. We are simply here to offer such opinions in an attempt to provide our readers with helpful information. Opinions are just that, OPINIONS! Ultimately only YOU know what your photography needs are and what equipment is best suited for your individual needs. Occasionally I might post my opinion about things outside the scope of photography, things that matter to me and may matter to you as well, but again, these are just MY opinion. I am not a public figure nor am I in public office so don't expect me to be PC. I will always be honest with my opinions, sometimes brutally so.
