Some verses seem to suggest that God cannot be seen, while others claim He can (and has been) seen by human beings. This essay will examine this problem and suggest that the apparent conflict can be resolved by distinguishing between two forms of seeing.

Fujifilm's new GFX100RF is a camera that evokes a golden age of photography, but it’s both powerful and confusing all at once As a medium format camera with a compact, Leica-like body, the GFX100RF blends analog-style controls with cutting-edge tech at least on paper. But Fuji also makes head-scratching decisions that may leave photographers torn. It's a particularly strange camera to have used.

Because of his transcendence, God cannot be seen as he is, unless he himself opens up his mystery to man’s immediate contemplation and gives him the capacity for it. The Church calls this contemplation of God in his heavenly glory “the beatific vision” (). The belief that God became a human being is foundational to understanding how our salvation was made possible and is a core belief of the Catholic faith.

The first half of 2025 saw a rush of video-centric camera launches. The Sony FX2, Panasonic S1 II, and Nikon Z5 II are designed to capture pro-level video but approach video tasks differently. Since the Sony a7C II is incredibly similar to the recently announced Sony FX2, and since we just finished testing the a7C II as a studio camera solution, we through that into the mix as well.

In light of the election of a new Pope, I thought it timely to examine one of the more controversial and misunderstood aspects of Catholicism: the existence and role of the Pope. Specifically, I want to examine the evolution of papal authority and its impact on the Catholic Church throughout history. Why A Pope? A succinct answer for why Catholicism has a Pope is that God decreed the papacy. Two Bible verses can support the belief that God created the papacy.

In the ever-expanding landscape of creator gear, audio remains one of the most critical compoents of video quality. People will watch a video with mediocre image quality, but they'll jump away as soon as they hear bad audio. For streamers and talking head videos the look of the on-cameara gear makes a statement as well. Professional level gear signifies expert level opinions.

“I contend we are both atheists; I just believe in one fewer god than you do. When you understand why you dismiss all the other possible gods, you will understand why I dismiss yours.” – Stephen F. Roberts. The above quote by writer Stephen Roberts is intended to imply that atheists and Christians have both rejected the thousands of gods recorded throughout history; only atheism adds the God of the Bible to the list of rejected gods. This is a reasonable argument and one I address below.

To read the Bible correctly requires a certain amount of nuance. What do I mean by correctly? I mean that each book of the Bible has to be categorized appropriately. In turn, this entails that any examination of the text must consider the genre of the particular book, the historical context, who the author was, who the intended audience was, and the purpose of the text. Additional problems arise when one seeks to harmonize the Old and New Testaments.
