Video: RLCD Festival

Notes: Just random clips thrown together, 5D mk II and D90, mostly handheld, and of course manual focus on everything.  One could see the advantages of the little “HD” cameras out there with their extreme depth of focus (i.e. every unnecessary thing in focus), but I still like the messups and the old 16mm look.  Song is […]

Atlanta Photo Meetup: 57th Fighter’s Group II

Fun meetup at the 57th Fighter’s Group, a restaurant/bunker with lots of army and airplane props, and the Dekalb county airport in the background.  Here are the shots I got out of the craziness.  Thanks to Eric and the Atlanta Photo/Model meetup group for organizing, and thanks to Nhi, Brittany, and Breanna for coming out.  3 different cameras […]

Alles Gute! J&T Wedding

…liebe… Notes: …Editing most of the photos while listening to “Disintegration” by the Cure, yeah, “Plainsong” sure makes me think of stuff…Thanks for letting me be a part of your day…

Foveon Strobist

Technical Notes: Actually a mixture of modeling light photos with the Canon and strobist shots with the Sigma SD14. Normally I shoot Nikon and off camera speedlights via CLS and TTL, but this time Pocket Wizard strobes and manual settings.  I prefer the creative variety that shooting CLS gives you, especially outside, like being able to shoot f/2.8 or […]

AAPA Awards

AAPA Convention | Marriott Marquis | Atlanta, GA When I was a kid, I wore thick glasses and read a lot of books.  Relatives would call me “little doctor.”  I guess it would have been a smarter career move, instead of this whole “artist / photographer / documentarian / lazy thinker” joyride that I’ve been on […]

Lao New Year 2010 – Wat Sattha Dhamma – Habersham County, GA

Wat Sattha Dhamma | Alto, GA Random Notes: Like most Lao things, humble beginnings on this one as well, but there aren’t many times in America these days where you can witness an old timey barn raising, people pulling together to build something.  Time will tell if this becomes a Lao “Bonnaroo” field, and more complaints from […]

B&B

  Notes: Pix by Misa and me :), Nikon CLS strobist stuff and Capture NX as usual…

Room to Read Event

The Lovett School | Atlanta, GA Notes: John Wood had a pretty comfy position at Microsoft ten years ago.  While travelling through Nepal he visited a quaint school in the mountains and found their “library” was merely a filing cabinet with things left over from hikers and travelers.  Apalled at this he vowed to return with more […]

Brushes

Notes: Collaborations from the little iPod/iPhone app Brushes.  If anyone would like to purchase any of our “masterpieces,” we accept payment in candy! 🙂

Manophet: Lonely Buffalo

I had the pleasure of meeting a gentleman in Laos, Manophet, whose life story is pretty amazing. As a farmer, monk, soldier, singer, translator, teacher, and father, his life was full of triumph and tragedy, that should make us all think about our own selfish desires and priorities. I’m saddened to hear that he passed away due […]

Kennesaw Photo Meetup

The reason I bring so much glass to these informal shoots is to further familiarize myself with the strengths and weaknesses of various gear in my toolset.  While almost anything can be used to make an image, we each have our own opinions as to which are the better tools to help us achieve the […]
