Savannah, GA – Sunrises and Sunsets
Photos within walking distance of the hotel and convention center. This was about all I had time for. It rained almost every day there, and I forgot about all the bugs! Still very pretty though, and I hope locals there take advantage of all the sights and colors. I know I would be taking photos […]
Continue readingSanta Fe, New Mexico – Pt. 8
Just north of Santa Fe near the skiing area is a huge Aspen forest! Too bad it was early spring and there weren’t any leaves just yet. I bet around Oct it would look gorgeous for all types of photography, or just to marvel at the yellow and sunlight streaming through the trees. It truly […]
Continue readingGrand Canyon, Arizona – Pt. 7
It was pretty cold and windy that day at the Grand Canyon. On the drive there I couldn’t help but wonder about the people living on the outskirts of the park in modest homes. You drive for hours and come across a lone Burger King or a gas station. Here we have to take into […]
Continue readingSedona, Arizona – Pt. 6
The light in Sedona, Arizona is just different. So nice, so colorful. It’s like a built in buff to any camera that you bring. I think it was a good call on only bringing the X100 and A7 and 50mm. It was pretty cold and windy up at the airport overlook the first day but […]
Continue readingMeteor Crater, Arizona – Pt. 5
It was crazy windy at Meteor Crater–close to hurricane force winds and it was really hard to even stand upright, much less focus on photos. But what an amazing sight. This entire desert area is like a movie. From small towns that celebrate the golden and silver age of alien tropes, to real craters bigger […]
Continue readingChang Thai Restaurant + Winslow, AZ – Pt. 4
There’s this really great Thai restaurant off the exit in Winslow Arizona! The very same Winslow in the Eagles’ song! After all these years of having that song pop up in my random playlist, it never occurred to me that they were talking about a real town. A town that has built its tourism industry […]
Continue readingLos Alamos + Caldera, New Mexico – Pt. 3
Santa Fe, New Mexico has some wild things, like this Tibetan temple not far from the Wal-Mart and main strip! Really reminded of the Lao temples around the US. A few hours drive north of Santa Fe is Los Alamos, the once secret home of the Manhattan project. You can see the rest area bathroom […]
Continue readingSanta Fe, New Mexico – Pt. 2
Santa Fe, New Mexico is a lovely town. It’s got color, komorebi, and chiaroscuro maxed out for sure. So many contemporary art galleries too, with a few having work that would be at home on the east coast instead of out in the desert. This area has a much later spring than us too, and […]
Continue readingAlbuquerque, New Mexico – Pt. 1
Atlanta, GA to Albuquerque, New Mexico The sunlight out there is no joke! But luckily the heat is far drier than the humidity that we have here in the Southeast US. Here are some photos from Albuquerque, NM, including a Lao restaurant, a Lao temple, and Sandia Peak. I only took two cameras and kept […]

July 6, 2025 | Target Parking Lot | Roswell, GA Pretty great turnout for this monthly car show. It is also the first Sunday of the month, and a bit closer for me instead of going all the way up to Caffeine and Octane. Plus it’s right up the street from the Trader Joe’s, which […]

Peachtree Corners Car Meet Fire and Stone Pizza and Peachtree Corners Town Center | June 29, 2025 The brutal hot sun this morning was making me feel awful, so I didn’t stay long! But here are my photos edited to give the vibe of that harsh sunlight. What a nice collection of cars.

Canon EF 50mm f/1.2 Sample Photos and Mini Review The 50mm lens and focal length is one of my favorites and possibly one of my desert island lenses if I was forced to pick. It has a window to the world that shows just enough depending on where you stand, and can work well within […]

A few Sundays ago there was a cool British car show in Suwanee. I stopped by in the morning after the rain and shot GFX 50S with the Nikon 50mm and a D700 and the 200mm f2 for fun/practice. The vibes were different with the weather and lens choice. I. Fuji GFX Shots II. Nikon […]

Hello everyone, I bought a cheap used RF lens the other day, the 24-50mm f/4.5-6.3 IS STM. It’s a kit lens (very basic starter one) that they bundle with the R8. It’s a full frame lens, with a wide to normal field of view, but designed for lightweight travel and portability. Meaning it really compromises […]
