NY1 uses the China Light!
I highly recommend using this light, but how terribly unprofessional. Check it out here.
Chris Saunders on BMX Union
One of our own here at Pushitastop has an interview up on BMX Union about being a photographer involved in the BMX industry. It’s definitely a good write up, and Chris talks about a lot of different aspects of photography and bikes. As always, great questions by Kurt make it a dope interview. Check it out here!

Canon Introduces the EOS-1D C
I posted a picture of this concept a while back, however at that point it was just a rumor. Canon has finally announced the EOS 1D C, a DSLR that will shoot in 4K resolution (4096 x 2160), as well as many other formats. This is huge. All I can say is that I want it.
35mm Point and Shoots
I know I’m not the only person who has a tendency to carry around a little 35mm point and shoot with them when they go riding. I always keep a spot open in my camera bag alongside my DSLR, lenses, flashes, etc for mine. It’s a good way to create physical mementos of the spots you ride, the places you go, and the people you’re hanging out with. My camera of choice: the Olympus Stylus. It’s cheap, easy to use, and takes pretty deece photos. I definitely recommend carrying something like this around with you, even if it’s just something you slip in your back pocket when you head out the door in the morning. Someday you’ll be glad you have those pictures to look back on.
A review of the Stylus Epic can be seen here.
A Few Recent Pics…
Chris Saunders with a little smith at the new Somerville skate plaza (in progress)
My buddy Bryan Tarbell, who posts over at LeastMost dropped off his Bronica SQ-A along with a few rolls of expired Kodak Portra 400 B&W film for me to shoot. I just got the first roll back, and I got a few decent ones out of it, but now that I’ve got the feel of medium format cameras down I’m psyched to shoot more! Here are three pics that I liked…definitely cool to get back little square black and white photos…it’s like the analog version of instagram.
