Mola Twin Speedlight Bracket
In researching lighting modifiers that might fit my shooting style I stumbled across the wonderful products from Mola. They produce only softlights, or beauty dishes as they are known around the industry. I’ve always tailored my kit to be thrown in the car mobile setups, but I thought that it would be fun to add...
Kodak Gold 400
Notes: Finally used this roll of Kodak Gold 400 that was probably at the bottom of the junk box for over a decade. 400 is definitely grainy, but I like it.

…things that have been on my mind…
A few weeks ago we went to visit our old sponsors. It's something most Lao people are familiar with, having an American family adopt us or help bring us over from the refugee camps. Over time, we grew up and moved away, while most of them passed away.

Nikon F100
Notes: Latest addition to the fleet (although about 10 years late to the party!), the Nikon F100. Will shoot black and white film for the upcoming gigs this month.
BW400CN
Notes: Random photos I got developed the other day. Kodak Black and White film from my old Minolta and 50mm lens. I would prefer to shoot all weddings mostly with this small format film but haven’t met a client that says okay.
Vy
Model: Vy MUA / Hair: Nhi I posted the above image because it is an example of the test I quickly fire off when I’m shooting off camera speedlights, either Nikon CLS or manual flash for the Canon. It had been cloudy and cold all day, but for some reason the sunset tonight was this...
R4
Model: Rosanna MUA / Hair: Nhi For these next photos I shot film to test out the Mola softlite. F100, Kodak BW400CN and the one light setup. One thing I have to remind myself is to always trigger the Pocket Wizard to wake up the SB800. When you shoot film with an automatic advance camera,...
Snapseed for Mac
Notes: Snapseed is now available in the Mac App store. A bit more expensive than the iPad app, but then again, most people don’t realize how expensive plugins cost for the various photo editing programs. Very limited options in the desktop/notebook version, and the jpeg compression is set for small file sizes, but it does...
AB
Model: Anh MUA / Hair: Anh Stylist / Runner: Van Lighting Assistance: Thomas, Annie Tech Notes: First shoot with my newest lighting modifier, a Mola softlite “beauty dish.” Haven’t finished making the mounting bracket yet, but good enough to take out on a random outing. The final bracket will be a twin speedlight setup. I...
Kodak DC 210 vs Nikon vs Canon vs — Does it even matter anymore?
The first digital cameras I used were the school’s Sony Mavicas that stored images on floppy discs and the Apple Quicktakes. It wasn’t until the affordable Kodaks came out that I finally got one of my own. My dad bought me that Kodak DC 210. It was on discount for about $400+. I was in...
