When I was a kid, I found a Sony Cybershot in my dad’s office and quietly I smuggled it out. And I swear it really was a Sony.  

Out of pure curiosity, I started snapping photos on my dad’s stolen camera and posted them to Facebook. That one decision changed my life forever. 

From wide-angle to ultra-telephoto, Tamron has announced the world’s first 16.6x all-in-one zoom lens for APS-C mirrorless cameras!

With exceptional image quality plus amazing close-focusing, fast AF and VC image stabilization, this new lens makes photography more fun because it’s so versatile, it inspires your creativity.

I am looking for a camera that allows me to be free and agile—something that feels athletic. I prefer using low camera angles because being closer to the ground helps me connect better with my subject.

Last year, I missed the shot.

We were on Mount Chopicalqui, a 6,354-meter peak in Peru’s Cordillera Blanca. Near the top, there’s a striking snow cone feature, a perfect sweep of ice that defines the upper mountain. I was exhausted. The altitude was brutal. I didn’t have the energy to dig through my bag, switch lenses, and set up. That moment passed, and I’ve regretted it ever since.

This year, I came back with a different approach and a different camera.
