This summer, TEDxYouth went to Lincoln Nebraska to find youth speakers and they struck gold.

If you head on over to B&H and put the Canon 24-70 2.8 II in your cart, you'll notice when you go to check out the price drops. Oh then there's a mail in rebate! There's discounts on the Canon EOS 7D Body, Canon EOS 7D with EF-S 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS Lens, Canon T5i with EF-S 18-55mm and Canon EOS T5i with EF-S 18-135mm.

In the wee hours of the night Nikon announced the new D5300, not even a year after its predecessor the D5200. It's no doubt that entry level cameras are going above and beyond what they originally were, but new features on the D5300 rumor to make it appeal to videographers and photographers alike.
Hoffer Photography is comprised of Tony and Amy Hoffer, who are amazing wedding photographers located in Philadelphia. Yesterday Tony posted a blog and it wasn't just any blog, it was the best kind: the sarcastic kind.

The X100s has pretty much been sold out since it's release, but B&H has a few back in stock! The Canon EF 200-400mm f/4L is back in stock as well. Plus they also have the Fujifilm X-E1 with XF 18-55mm f/2.8-4 lens for sale with a $200 instant savings! The used department also has refurbished D600s in stock.
The Fujifilm X-A1 with 16-50mm lens is back in stock at B&H as is the Wacom Intous Pro in Medium! The X-A1 is a little guy that packs a nice punch, it's available in Indigo Blue and is awaiting your add to cart click. It also comes in black and is available for pre-order. It packs a punch at 16 megapixels and has a 1.5 crop sensor. It comes in at a mere $599, so it's a cost effective alternative for those who are in love with the X100 and X100s but don't want to drop the cash. It still has the ability to shoot auto and manual but the best part is unlike the x100 and x100s, the lens can be swapped.

We can talk about pricing all day, every day, but when it comes down to it, it's not just about how much you're charging but how you're displaying it. Most of the time we put a lot of thought into how aesthetically appealing our pricing pages look, but how they're laid out can end up making or breaking an up-sale.
Well first off, I am not positive anyone actually retained what the specs on the new iPhone 5S are going to be. Mostly because I'm sure the only thing running through their minds was 'I love goldddddd' from Austin Powers Goldmember. But lets push aside the fact that you can rock a phone that will glisten in the sunlight like a shiny olympic medal and talk about some of the much needed upgrades on the new 5S.
In the photography world, social media connects you with a multitude of people and not a month goes by where someone doesn’t mention they’re moving.

The digital age not only helps us communicate and run our business but sometimes it is a hindrance to our ability to run a successful and personable business.
