Hacking a WD Passport as a Photo & Video Backup Solution on the Go
Either you shoot video or photo – perhaps both – proper backup of your work is a must. I spent a few months planning my last photography tour through the northern Argentina. Among the multitude of options to prepare, I wanted to find an efficient way to backup all the photos and videos while on location without hauling a laptop……
Register your video & photo equipment prior to US departure
Once I was expecting my bags, upon my return from a recent trip to Argentina, and I was ready to leave the terminal area at the Miami International Airport (MIA) I was requested, by a customs officer, to a manual and thorough search of all my belongings. I didn’t think twice and followed the agent……
Northwest Argentina | Photo Tour
I recently came back from a couple weeks in Argentina. The experience was simply great, not only because I was able to visit friends and relatives, but because I was able to travel with my daughters to my ‘place of origin’. The experience was topped with a family wedding and a unique photographic experience on……

Set narrative and design in Guillermo del Toro’s Pan Labyrinth
Set narrative and design in Guillermo del Toro’s films are as fundamental for the production as the story itself. In this instance I wanted to focus on two wonderful movies by director extraordinaire Guillermo del Toro. I personally consider Mr. del Toro as one of the brightest and most profound directors of the last two……
Timing and opportunity – Tyrants of reality
Jodorowsky’s Dune (2013), a documentary directed by Frank Pavich, tells the epic pre-production process of Jodorowsky’s failed attempt at adapting Dune, Frank’s Herbert famous novel. The documentary is very enjoyable and a fantastic journey. Alejandro Jodorowksy work has always been very interesting to me, either because of his surrealistic background in the theater and as……
Is the Camera part of the story ? Sundance Filmmakers
A lot has changed in the last decades. Image acquisition and film-making have gone through major light-year leaps. I have to confess a little jealousy for the availability and easy access to the stupendous image quality and versatility that nowadays cameras are capable of achieving. Take it from me. As someone that watched 8 mm……
