Binders Art Supplies and Frames | Buckhead | Atlanta, GA www.bindersart.com | www.rossinfineart.com So glad I attended the Ross Rossin artist talk at Binders (Peachtree Road) last night. Lots of great wisdom and life tips from a modern day master. I definitely need to get back into drawing as I’m super rusty! 😭 It was […]
There was a lot going on in Metro Atlanta as usual, but here’s what we ended up doing: the monthly car show in Tucker, Pho Restaurant for lunch, and Arabia Mountain in the evening. It was a fun full day for sure. Gear Used: Sony A7 and Canon 85mm 1.2 with Sigma adapter, Canon EOS […]
I was watching Doom Patrol on streaming the other day and noticed that the first episode really features downtown Lawrenceville in broad daylight! Which is easy to notice since, well, I live in Gwinnett and come here all the time! 🙂 Here are some photos from an early morning walk around the square with 3 […]
Share How to Break into Game Dev and EsportsGeorgia Game Developers Association | Gwinnett Technical College It was nice meeting everyone at the game dev event last night! Lots of cool games and glad I stopped by to get some inspiration. I gleaned lots of great information, like how working on one’s portfolio should be […]
Young Atlanta Fashion ShowHigh Museum of Art | Atlanta, GA | August 6, 2022 It was nice meeting everyone at the fashion show! Thanks to every fashionable person for posing for photos. 🙂 Great turnout, even with the crazy summer time rain that didn’t let up until after midnight. Feel free to use my photos […]
Hello everyone! So last week I decided I was only going to shoot my infrared Sigma DSLRs. Normally I have all sorts of cameras to produce colorful work, but I thought it would be a good choice to go all IR in hopes of getting a specific vibe. The spooky illustrative kind of mood that […]
So here’s some of what I shot earlier this year on 2 more rolls of Fujifilm Superia 400. Unlike the two rolls that went into the point and shoot Olympus Stylus I thought I would put the film behind some nice primes. For one roll I used the Canon EOS 750 and 24mm 1.4 and […]
Hope everyone is enjoying the summer and avoiding the terrible heatwave! Just wanted to share some of the camera gear that I’ve gotten since earlier this year. Part of the fun of photography is wondering about another camera or lens’ special ability–since they all have one! Some of this gear was free, and others cost […]
Thanks to Tram for wanting photos the other week! It’s so nice to have a photogenic model that is also super at doing hair and makeup! 😉 This was also a good opportunity to test some of the gear collecting dust on the shelf before I settled on one for the whole shoot. The grid […]
I didn’t get to stay long but big thanks to all the friendly cosplayers that posed for pictures on Sunday morning! IRL stuff is much better than the online world! 😉 Again, feel free to use my photos in your social media feeds or for whatever! It’s okay! Anyone that would like to shoot again […]
This past Memorial Day weekend was full of events down here in Atlanta. Almost too much and the traffic proved it. Here’s a few of the things one could have attended on Saturday alone: Jazz Fest at Piedmont Park, Momocon, an Atlanta United game, Caribbean Festival in Central Park, a Vegan food festival, an R&B […]
It was a fun day with my little/not so little anymore baby bear! No real plan today, just left the house with an “old” Pentax K10D, an “ancient” Nikon D100 and a Sony A7. Here’s what we did and shot on a day with really nice weather. The morning started off with an impromptu P.E. […]
The Short: A Sigma with probably the best and most vibrant colors of all the Sigma DSLRs, with the responsiveness and reliability that was missing from the earlier SD14–BUT, it’s also a Sigma camera with probably the craziest highlight blowing potential in all exposure modes and picture settings and hints of the inconsistent white balance […]
Wat Lao Buddha Sattha Dhamma Sunday May 22, 2022 | Alto, GA It was a short stay on Sunday, but very cool idea on having a pageant winner reunion! Gear Used: Canon EOS RP and Nikon 105mm 1.4E (all manual focus!), Fuji X100, and Olympus E-M1, rolling with odd gear on this very hot and […]

When the Apple Photos app makes curated memories from the camera roll, it likes to title most things of mine, “Hanging Out.” Which is great because that’s definitely tops on my list of fun things to do. Here’s what we ended up doing after the multicultural festival at the mall, come take a drive with […]
Gwinnett Place Mall | Saturday, May 14, 2022 Stopped by for about an hour before heading off on a fun adventure around town, but I’m glad Gwinnett county had a festival to showcase our diversity. Here’s hoping once they decide on what to do with the old mall that it will be a nice inviting […]
So I got to try out my cousin’s Canon EF to Nikon F Ai adapter. (Yes such a thing exists on Amazon) A little bit of history, before the advent of digital mirrorless cameras, it was impossible to put a Canon EF lens on a Nikon F mount camera due to the Nikon’s longer flange […]

Here are random things that I’ve been fortunate enough to have eaten recently from our lovely food paradise that is Metro Atlanta! I know I’m biased, but until you’ve driven around looking around for good Asian food in cities around the southeast, you don’t know how good we got it. Anyways, here’s random dishes I […]
Again, catching up on old event recaps. After the GAWP event I didn’t want to sit in traffic all the way down 75 into Atlanta, so I walked around downtown Dalton. It’s a very nice city at the foothills of the mountains. While driving I found this really nice house with tons of kwanza cherry […]
Catching up on posting a few recap photos from past events. This space was really nice! Unlike the plain corporate in the heart of the city ones that I’m used to, the open space and lighting made for some nice photos. The communal workspace is right behind Ponce City Market and I think there’s a […]
Here are a few photos from the event I helped cover after the Johns Creek Intl Festival. Pretty much like everyone else, if I haven’t been to a particular location for event photography work, I google to see the logistics of the place and what other folks have shot. Not every event is the same […]
Here are some of my photos of the Johns Creek Intl Festival from this past Saturday 4-30-22. Thanks to all who posed for photos! Everyone did a great job on stage. I definitely enjoyed the music from the School of Rock (The covers of “Rebel Yell” and “Bullet with Bufferfly Wings” was crazy!). There was […]
So I added another “old” camera to the lineup this past month, a Fujifilm S5 Pro! I’d always wanted this camera since about 2006 or 2007 but I had a Nikon D200 at the time so this camera was always on the get it later when it’s cheap wish list. Now that time has made […]
Wat Lao Buddha Khanti | April 24, 2022 Hey that was a pretty fun return to the sensory overload that is LNY on thak baht Sunday. I hope all the out of town guests and new faces that I saw felt welcome in our crazy festival atmosphere. I didn’t bring my usual camera gear, but […]
