New Orleans: Street Photography
Street Photography from the Saturday and Sunday before Mardi Gras 2012. Fujifilm X100 to keep it light and simple. ...However this little Fuji has been exhibiting the "sticky aperture blade" problem for quite some time now. Erratic exposures caused by the lens not being able to stop down correctly. Fujifilm USA,...
Early Spring
Technical Notes: Finally lugged the heavy Mola and Speedlight combo outside for a shoot. All primes for this one, (50mm, 85mm, and 105mm) which I actually prefer to zoom lenses. I guess you can consider the 35mm equivalent on the X100 as a prime. It is still early in February, but glad to see some...
Banh Bao
Notes: Some real behind the scenes of my photo shoots, which to be honest have always basically been field trips to remind people of the simplicities of life, and how to carry oneself in this crazy world of online noise, self promotion and sugar coated society of no substance…or something like that. A few years...

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.
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...
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...
