Notes on photography gear, filmmaking, motorcycles, and the occasional personal essay.
AI is the best tool Chris Chase has picked up in 30 years of business—so why is it suddenly getting in the way? Four stages explain how.
Two AI models chained zero-days from a sealed test sandbox all the way into Hugging Face's production servers. The accurate version of this story is scarier than the shorthand — and it's a warning for anyone running AI in their business.
I work in AI every day, and it may finally let me make the film I've carried in my head for ten years. That's exactly what scares me.
My honest read on the new Frontier Governance Framework.
The long reach. A 100-500 zoom that stays compact, autofocuses fast, and reaches deep into wildlife and sports range.
The compact 70-200 - noticeably shorter than the EF version and perfectly balanced on the R5. The new go-to telephoto.
The wide end of the holy trinity. 15mm gets me into tight interiors and dramatic landscapes, with IS for marginal-light hand-holds.
A constant f/2 standard zoom - basically a bag of primes in a single barrel. Heavy, but I'd rather carry one lens than three.
Four spare LP-E6NH packs. The R5 sips power when you push it; this is the simplest insurance policy in the bag.
Tethered shooting without the tether: the WFT-R10A doubles as a battery grip and pushes files straight off the card to a server in real time.
