Archives for 2024

Yes, Wednesday is here dear readers, dazed and confused we are barreling down into the madness of 2024!

We begin with the most important news of the year so far, voting is open for the Trader Joe Customer Choice Awards. Voting ends 1/9/24 at 11:59pm Pacific. Five products are excluded because they are in the Hall of Fame (Mandarin orange chicken [of course!], soy chorizo, etc].

WE HAVE OUR first LENZE DAYE of the year at the B&H Photo daily deals good until 11:59pm ET or earlier if sold out:

+ Mitakon Zhongyi Speedmaster 65mm f/1.4 for $479 in Fuji G medium format mirrorless system, making it a “50mm equivalent”

+ LuxLI Timpani² 1×1 RGB LED Light Panel for $799

+ NanUK 918 Case with Foam Insert for Set of Six Lenses (Black, Special 50th Anniversary Edition for $100
+ despite the UK in the name, this has a Canadian symbol on it 🙂

+ Oben BC-166 Ball Head for $90

ON the free-streaming front, starting at 12pm ET on WEdnesday at Creative LIVE ON-AIR we have a 5.5 hour class by Lindsay Adler, “Posing 101: Couples, Weddings and Families”. Posing for photography that is, not how to become an instagram pose(u)r 😉

Also running in celebratory mode is Chase Jarvis’s very own “30 Days of Genius” featuring various rich and/or famous and/or creative people.

UPDATE: “Top Deals Mode” continues at the Adorama dailies, while nutritional and wellness and fitness supplements and assorted things rule the day at the Amazon USA Gold Box…

Wedding Bells at Creative LIVE ON-AIR, starting on Tuesday at 12pm ET you can free-stream the “Wedding Photography” class (Joe Buissink, almost 13 hours, Lesson #3 (32 min) is the “Kindle sample”).

Speaking of Creative LIVE, for a limited time only, coupon code CREATE2024 gets you $20 off any order of $39+ over there.

IT’s a nutritional supplement invasion at the Amazon USA Gold Box – as expected at this time of the year as gyms break records in new sign-ups 🙂

“Top Deals mode” continues at the Adorama daily deals today as well, too many to list here individually…

And finally we have a fresh 4-pack of B&H Photo daily deals:

+ Manfrotto Pro Light Reloader Air-55 Carry-On Camera Roller Bag (Black) for $250 after in-cart coupon
+ yes, we are starting the new “Bag the Bags” year in-style!

+ Impact PowerSync Mini Transmitter and Receiver Kit for $50

+ ReVo ST-1000 Pro Video Stabilizer for $40

+ Wooden Camera Ultra Quick Release Articulating Monitor Mount (Baby Pin/C-Stand) for $159
+ no wood and no camera are included 😉

New Year, New You and the Adorama daily deals have returned to the “Top Deals” mode where a variety of on-going deals are featured – too many to list here individually…

MEANwhile at Amazon, it’s Tax Time already with Intuit Turbo TAX on sale from $45 to $114 depending on version (Deluxe to Business). New Year New You also means Health and Fitness which is why they have this Fitbit sale with prices ranging from $49 (Ace 3) to $200 (Sense 2)…
