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.

5 Why Analysis
The 5 Why Analysis has long been used as a technique to identify the root cause of a problem, most commonly when dealing with quality issues. Rather than making assumptions and jumping to conclusions, the 5 Why Analysis digs deeper into potential causes, often with facts, data and logic.
Swallows at Irving Eco-Centre
This short article features images of swallows at Irving Eco-Centre (La Dune de Bouctouche) located in Saint-Edouard-de-Kent, New Brunswick. These photographs were captured in early May during a trip my wife and I made out to the East Coast of Canada to visit family and friends.
