Since 2016 I have photographed many subjects and learned many different techniques and tricks. Over the past 5 years I have spent creating articles, videos and anything helpful I've learned. This current list was put together from those articles.
A quick note is that a majority of these articles are written before Artificial Intelligence* since a majority of books that are created in 2025 and 2026 are AI Books. This is not one of those. I encourage AI use for learning and finding material that can help you as you learn.
