Figure Drawing – Alpharetta – 2023-08-15
Man I’m out of shape figure drawing-wise, but so glad there was a figure drawing session up in Alpharetta last night on a Tuesday! I think that day might work out better for me and hopefully I can budget out the time and funds to attend more. Lots of talented folks in this group. Great […]
Continue readingTucker Cruise In – 2023-08-12
Man it’s been hot and humid this summer. Here are some photos from this month’s Tucker Cruise In. There are two more left this year. I only brought along the Fuji GFX and Sigma SD15, and treated both like film cameras. The Sigma SD15 raw file had some crazy yellowish color cast, but the sharpness […]
Continue readingFujifilm GFX 50S and Nikon 50mm 1.8 Ai-S
Hello everyone I added a new tool to the fleet the other day, a medium format Fujifilm GFX 50S. For some the sensor size would be more aptly described as a Full Frame+, but this digital photography thing has been changing the status quo for quite some now. I remember back in the day about […]
Continue readingNikon D700 + 105mm 1.4E
All this time I totally forgot about trying the 105mm 1.4E on the classic D700. This lens usually stays forever mounted on my other main body. Always wide open at f/1.4 because well, that’s where this lens shines annnd because the D610 sensor is so dusty every speck shows up at smaller apertures. The D700 […]
Continue readingSunday Funday + Bonus Rainbow!
Thanks to Chalita and her dad for randomly stopping by the other day! Here are some photos from a somewhat spontaneous mini adventure. The rainbow was definitely unplanned, but for Georgia in the summer, it always has to shower unexpectedly somewhere. Stepped out of the house with 3 cameras, and 3 different lenses. Nikon D610 […]
Continue readingZNO Photo Album Review
Hello everyone, I’ve been using ZNO for some recent books (as the Fujifilm books from Costco are no longer available), and I would have to say I really like the quality. I got some photos printed on the plastic substrate a few years back and really liked them so I figured the full books would […]

I didn’t get to take hardly any photos for myself while working down in Savannah, but here are a few.
Continue readingGuardian Works – Atlanta, GA
Here are some room and decor photos from a recent event at Guardian Works–a cool spot in Atlanta that I hadn’t worked at yet. It’s very unique with so much character in the walls and material. Again, hope the photos can help out future event photogs and clients. I know I always do my googling […]

Here are some room shots from a recent lovely wedding, at the new location for Le Fais Do Do, now on the southside of Atlanta. Great looking interior like the old one. Hope these photos can help any future clients or photographers looking to book this space.
Continue readingRoad Trip – Day 7 – Springdale + St George + Vegas
St. George is definitely a great city to stop by and explore. There’s a free botanical garden with amazing colorful desert plants, and a high vantage point overlooking the city. There’s Utah Tech, a lovely white church, AND an Asian grocery store/restaurant! They have bamboo and pork buns too, along with the normal assortment of […]
Continue readingUtah Day 5 – Tropic + Kanab + Zion
It was time to say goodbye to Tropic and its awesome hoodie weather, with another quick morning photo walk. Sunrise wasn’t as nice as yesterday, but the light right afterwards was pretty amazing. Tropic to Zion is only like less than an hour, but a worthy detour is the town of Kanab, near the Arizona […]
Continue readingUtah Day 4 – Tropic and Bryce Canyon Sunset
The night before actually had some moisture in the air, so it made for a very nice sunrise in Tropic. Just like back home, photo worthy sunrises and sunsets usually come after some type of weather. I startled this little black cat as I was filming in the morning. I guess its home was nestled […]
Continue readingUtah Day 3 – Tropic + Escalante + Panguitch
The weather in Tropic this morning was once again cool and refreshing. In the back of the cabin area is a barn for chickens and they are pretty much the alarm clock. The whole time I couldn’t help but find parallels to this place and Samneua Laos. The first stop of the day was Mossy […]
Continue readingUtah Day 2 – Tropic + Bryce Canyon + Kodachrome Basin
One of the best things about the town of Tropic Utah is the weather. In June it was an amazing 58 degrees in the morning and a high of about 74 degrees when we were there. All thanks to the high elevation of 6,000+ ft. There’s a lot of wind and tons of UV light […]
Continue readingUtah Road Trip – Day 1 – Las Vegas, NV to Tropic, UT
Hello everyone here’s the first post of my trip out to lovely/lonely Utah. It was definitely a landscape photographer’s dream. I didn’t pack too much in terms of gear, I only brought along a Fuji X100, Sony A7 and 3 lenses, and a Black Magic Pocket Cinema Camera (original one), and of course my iPhone […]

Sabaidee everyone, I’ve freely shared my photos with our amazing community for many years now. There are no ads on my website. I don’t make money on page views. I do this thing solo. It costs me time and resources for web hosting. My site is an archive of the cool and lovely things that […]

Celebrating AAPI Heritage Month Suwanee Town Center | Suwanee, GA | May 19, 2023 Another great time in our backyard. Featuring some K-Pop singers, Indian Dancing, Lao Dancing, and the highlight for me was definitely the hanfu traditional clothing. Everyone looked like they stepped out of a silk painting. Thanks everyone for posing!
