Why subscribe?

When we weren’t looking, the iPhone turned us all into photographers. Suddenly it matters. We need to learn and master this magic at our fingertips. Photography has become our second language and we want to speak and understand it.

That’s why you’re here. Curious. Maybe confused. But you want to know more. I’m here to guide you.

I started Bluewater Imaging to help newcomers understand digital photography. How to take and manage your photos, and to have fun with it along the way. Patient, judgement free help so you can connect with your family and friends by sharing what you see in your world.

5 Minute Photos is my weekly newsletter about digital photography, Apple Photos, and the importance of pictures. I hope you’ll come along for the ride and share what you learn with others.

Most weeks I publish twice.

One is a public post for everyone that talks about digital photography and how we use it. Ways you can do cool things with your photos. How to manage your pictures and avoid overwhelm. That sort of thing. If I see an amazing image or article, I will share it. Useful, fun information for the everyday photographer.

Free subscribers also get access to the past public posts on the home page.

In addition to the public posts, paid subscribers get an additional post that goes deeper into how-to tips. iPhone apps, editing photos and details about the Apple Photos ecosystem and how it works with the larger playground of digital photography.

Paid subscribers also get to comment and be part of the 5MP chat community. And twice a month I will have a live “ask-me-anything” chat event.

I hope you’ll sign up and come along for the ride.
