Notes: The photos all mean something to me, because these are the people in my life, but in selecting these particular shots, I pulled the ones shot with my various gear.  As with many things, edible and photographic, variety is the spice of life.  I would have to say the Fuji Instax has the best...

You Can’t Go Home Again

I’m sure most of us have mixed emotions when it comes to thinking about the places where we grew up.  In movies and tv, you see it a lot, famous people and athletes returning to their humble homes with a lit match or a bulldozer in tow.  For regular followers of my work, I’m sure...

Notes:  There’s this tree on the side of the road I frequently drive on, and it sure is pretty every single spring.  Lots of gear for this spur of the moment shoot (for me at least), Nikon+Canon, Sigma IR, and different techniques as well, Nikon wireless CLS, radio triggered strobe, and the heat reflector you...

Laos: A Country of Contrasts / Scrap Metal Foundry

Laos is one of the most beautiful and lush countries in all of Southeast Asia.  Even though the people in the remote villages don’t have electricity or running water, or a very high standard of living, the earth provides so much, that there isn’t as much belly rumbling as in other parts of the world. ...

Lao New Year 2555

Lao New Year 2555

I often wonder if all of my Lao New Year photos are actually doing more harm than good.  Because I don’t necessarily post images of what truly happens, when outsiders go to the temple/community center/fairgrounds, they might be in for a shock.  There are many things in the Lao community that I don’t agree with,...
Everything's Rosy :o)

Everything’s Rosy :o)

Never been photo bombed by a guy on a train before, but I guess there’s a first time for everything. One of the reasons why I shoot so many cameras is because of the wide variety of colors that each medium or model offers.  Fujifilm FP100C just has that Japanese sunlight quality about it that...

Portrait Photography with a DIY Two Way Mirror Setup

Portrait Photography with a DIY Two Way Mirror Setup

This particular project has been rolling around in my head for some time now–using a two way mirror to shoot through.  It allows the person posing to see a real time preview of what they look like and make adjustments.  It seems like such a silly and novel idea…people who are having their picture taken,...

T&J: Pre Wedding

Notes: Just helping out for this one.  The last 3 frames are from the J1 and 85mm combo.  I bumped down the resolution to the lowest setting and started firing off 10fps bursts to counteract the hand held video that wasn’t working.  It reminded me that these buffer filling bursts can be used as mini...
Yonah Mountain

Yonah Mountain

Notes: Even with the pollen I thought it would be fun to walk up Yonah Mountain.  When we got to the top, it started hailing, which was actually refreshing since the forest was a bit warm in the sun and all the bugs were out in full force.  While enjoying the breeze and grapes on...
Olympus + Leica

Olympus + Leica

Technical Notes: Olympus E-PL1 and the 80 year old German Leica 50mm f/2 Summar I took off the Russian Zorki 4.  Since the lens lacks any coating whatsoever, the flaring is way over the top when I shoot towards any light source.  It took a lot of post processing in Capture NX 2 to get the...
Nikon J1 and 85mm f/1.4

Nikon J1 and 85mm f/1.4

Technical Notes:  At some point I would like to get the Nikon FT1 adapter, so I can use my existing Nikon lenses on the little J1–but not at the high price of $250.  That adapter wouldn’t be of any use to my older D lenses anyway, as they become manual focus.  Not much better with...
