October 15, 2013 By Eric Reagan

Easy Canvas Prints

If you’ve seen deals from Easy Canvas Prints that look just too darn good for a large canvas print, then you might just be onto something.

AjRichard.com Scam Shop . . . or One More Reason to Stick with B&H, Adorama & Amazon

June 17, 2011 By Eric Reagan

Nasiv Mansurov has a great article that sheds some light on yet another bait and switch photo retailer operation.  I know everyone wants to find the best deals on camera gear, and folks are having a hard time finding popular gear in stock since the Japan earthquake earlier this year.  However, Nasiv’s investigation into AjRicard.com (aka scam shop) after his buddy ordered a 5D Mark II from the site should serve as a reminder that “if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.” [Read more…]

Uncle Earle

As a follow-up to the buzzing story from earlier in the week, a California woman has come forward with a rather convincing claim that her Uncle Earl Brooks shot the $200 million+ Ansel Adams negatives in 1923.

Sonic Photo, Broadway Photo, Best Price Camera and Other Scammers Get Busted

The New York Attorney General has busted these scam shops for their nefarious bait & switch tactics, which result in heartache stories across the photography community year in and out.

While they’re getting off with a $765,000 settlement after being investigated by the New York AG, hopefully the officials will keep a closer eye on them.  This isn’t the first time Broadway Photo has been on the wrong side of the law though.
