Fujifilm X100 Review – Portraits & Random Life from 10+ Years PART II Hello, here’s Part II of my Fujifilm X100 Retrospective. Part I was all about Wedding Photography and can be read Here. This one is all about random portraits, BTS shots from some of our photo hangout dates, and just ordinary scenes in […]
Just some random photos from the neighborhood and my backyard of the Snow/Ice Storm in early 2025. These were over the course of 3 days, and as I type this the sun is shining and the ice is melting. Hopefully just one more month of cold weather.
Hello everyone, in thinking of my series of posts about all the lovely cameras and lenses I have, I forgot that like many of my tools, I buy them, use them and never really got around to “reviewing” them. That’s how much I love taking pictures and editing. Much better than arguing online with random […]
Hello everyone Happy New Year. (The first of many if you cover enough different cultures as I do here in Atlanta!) In cleaning up work and old photos I think I’m going to start off with posting random camera gear thoughts and “reviews” that have been sitting on the back burner for so long. Again, […]

Hello everyone, here are some photos from the last two weeks or so with my new favorite combo, the Nikon D700 “Classic” and 200mm f/2. Yes it’s a heavy beast of a setup, but man are the pictures sharp and colorful, with a contrast and punchiness that can be had straight out of camera. Nothing […]
Hello everyone, this month has been about avoiding the cold temperatures and re visiting my old portraits. Some I’ve been re editing just to practice with some color grades that I don’t often use, and some are just a nice stroll down memory lane. I thought I would take a crazy left turn off that […]
Wow I shot these with Vivian (@imnotvee) last year and I don’t think I even posted more than a few. Well ’tis the season, so here are some more random portraits as I get back in the swing of things. 🙂 These are shots that I would probably print out as 4×6″s just to keep […]
I shot these photos with Amanda in 2020, which seems like forever ago. Don’t know why I passed by these specific ones on the first pass. I think that’s the cool thing about digging thru the archives of old photoshoots. Even some of the off poses can have their own charm when they’ve had to […]
It’s been many moons since I’ve done separate single posts of “model” shoots here. Those are still quite popular on the ol youtube and web of course, posed photos of pretty people with some new lens or latest camera involved. I think at some point I just enjoyed the randomness of the hang outs I […]

Nikon Nikkor 200mm f/2 G VR Sample Photos + Review It took about 20 years but I finally got one of the lenses that I’ve wanted for so long, the AF-S Nikon 200mm f/2G VR. It’s a heavy relic from the early days of DSLR imaging, announced in May of 2004, long before Nikon had […]

Hello everyone, now is the time of year where I try to head out as much as I can, get some air and exercise and admire the lovely trees and colorful leaves. I think I’ll treat this as a rolling post that I’ll update every couple of days or so. This year I was going […]
Above: Nikon D4, Nikon Df, and Nikon L35AF The other day I was thinking about toys, and how little kids from every walk of life love and cherish them. When we first moved to this country, I’d just started Kindergarten and was so proud to participate in show-and-tell with my little racecar and the tiny […]

UGA Homecoming Parade Athens, GA | Oct 4, 2024 It was a short but fun parade in Athens the other week. Walking around downtown is so different now. The old yellow gingko trees are long gone, and I used to remember them raining down leaves and the distinct smell as we walked to the comic […]
