“Making big moves right now is especially a dangerous and scary thing to do. And that’s what I’m most inspired about.”
NAB 2025 isn’t just about the giants. It’s about the entrepreneurs taking second mortgages on their houses to solve a problem they had on set. The little booths in the far corners. The passion in their eyes that you can’t fake.
From NiSi’s T1 primes to GoPro’s massive Hail Mary booth, this year’s show floor tells a story about who’s playing it safe and who’s swinging for the fences in one of the most chaotic logistics environments the industry has ever seen.

Lovely photo by @jill.petracek on the set of @gamechangershow . I look a little tired here, but these shoot days are incredibly fun and rewarding. It takes a real effort not to have shaky shots from many stifled giggles on my part. Much thanks to @samrushgeer@samreich@ebony.elaine@kevin_stiller@psrobalino and many others for the chance to experience this incredible roller coaster of a series from the best seat in the house. #gamechanger

ASC Awards Photo dump! Absolutely loved seeing old friends and making a few new ones at the 39th ASC Awards. I’m inspired by all of the incredible attention to craft in that room. One thing that I’ve always struggled with about being a ‘Director of Photography’ is that I often don’t get to hang out with many other DP’s throughout the year. Hanging out with my favorite camera geeks was a joy. Thank you @sigmacine for the invitation!
A lil commotion in the chat for this absolute LEWK!!

It was my privilege to sit down with Richard Jones and learn more about his daughter, 10 years after her tragically preventable death on set. Local 600 member Sarah Jones is remembered by all who work in the camera department, and we honor her best when we keep each other safe. Full video is up on @cinednews YouTube.

"Could this be the best zoom ever made?" 🤔 This question was posed on social about the new SIGMA 28-105mm F2.8 DG DN | Art lens, and it got SIGMA Ambassador Graham Sheldon thinking. How does the new lens compare to one of his favorite zooms ever, the SIGMA 24-105mm F4? Which SIGMA zoom is your favorite?
The new SIGMA 28-105mm F2.8 DG DN | Art is available now at sigmaphoto.com and authorized dealers nationwide!
