Website Rebranding
This announcement article provides readers with some advanced information and details about our website rebranding which is currently underway. Back in July 2019 we rebranded our photography website to better reflect our transition to the M4/3 system, while also recognizing our past work with Nikon 1.
The rebranding to Small Sensor Photography has served us well over the past seven years and helped us build a strong, niche brand built around specific gear ownership within the photography community. Our website rebranding currently underway to Photographic Freedom, is another step in our creative journey, and will better position our work for the future.

This article discusses opportunity cost as a life skill, and how using this approach can help keep us centred on what is important to us.

Creative Precursors

Creative Pathways
As photographers we have the freedom to pursue whatever creative pathways make sense for us given our personal philosophies and interests.
