The Digital Story: About

The Digital Story is about making photography, music, and filmmaking enjoyable. Creativity flows better when technical issues are resolved. Instead of trying to figure out every blessed control on your digital camera, we want to show you the simple things that help it become an extension of your vision and a tool for your expression.

That's why we cut to the chase. The site's founder, Derrick Story, has spent years teaching and writing about digital media in ways to make it accessible, not intimadating. There are several ways to accomplish just about any task, we want to show you the clever, common sense approaches that you'll remember and use for years to come.

It's like reading a story. If it's interesting and makes sense, you'll probably stick with it. If you're lost after the first chapter, well, then, you might move on to other things. We want you to stick around.

Our weblogs, podcasts, and videos are created for your education and enjoyment. Our door is always open to your thoughts and questions, just drop us a line at:
