Finding the Perfect Notebook for Photographers

photographer-notebooks-1-2

Notebook. No photographer should be without one!  – Ansel Adams

Notebooks for Photographers

I’m a mix of the old and new. I love digital cameras, but I have love for analogs too. My iPhone is filled with music, but I have a collection of vinyl records at home. Technology and electronics are great, but there’s something special about mechanics that work with you without electricity.

Right now I’m writing this post on my Macbook, but many of my posts actually start in my paper bound notebooks.

Even some of my photography starts in a notebook. I love writing any photography related ideas down on paper.

When it comes to creativity, I still connect more with the old school. Putting the pen to paper gets my ideas flowing, while computer screens can put me in a daze. Notebooks also don’t come with internet access, which can be a very good thing when trying to limit distractions. But the best part is how I can take that notebook anywhere and have it when my next idea comes to me at the most random time, which is usually the case. 

Plus computers don’t have that ribbon bookmark. I love that thing.

So what Notebook do I use? What is the Perfect Notebook?

Personal Gear Review : Ricoh GR

Ricoh GR View 1

Disclaimer: Ricoh gave me nothing. Ricoh doesn’t even know who I am. That’s too bad. But at least you know this review is honest.

A Personal Review of the Ricoh GR

The Ricoh GR digital camera has been out for a couple of years, but is still at the top of the list if you’re looking for the highest quality pocket point & shoot. I’ve used it for over a year now so I thought I would write a personal review for anyone who is trying to decide what the best camera is for them in this category.
