My heartfelt, plain-English review of the...
One month and over 20,000 images later, I’m ready to say a few things about the GH1 that’s sort of like an actual review. (And note that for simplicity, I will just refer to the GH1 as a DSLR, though I realize it technically is not one without the mirror mechanism.) It is not the best DSLR and not the best camcorder… but still may make you fall in love with it. At $1500 US...

For Teenagers, Hello Means ‘How About a Hug?’ →
vivvo: “It was needless hugging — they are in the hallways before they go to class. It wasn’t a greeting. It was happening all day.” What the hell.  This is ridiculous.  Why are people afraid of human contact?? “Parents, who grew up in a generation more likely to use the handshake, the low-five or the high-five, are often baffled by the close physical contact.” NYT gets +1000...

What I'd tell myself about photography if I could...
If you have no idea what you’re doing, there is no better solution than to take a freaking lot of photos. Mess with the settings, mess up your pictures, experiment, take 10 shots of the same thing in different ways… something will EVENTUALLY work. Don’t leave your camera at home.
