A Mess of Things…
…Season 5 Finale…well, this one ends sooner than I’d thought…thanks to everyone who have followed along over the years. This time I truly feel that it’s time to hang things up…try and forget about this “theme” and begin a new one, or perhaps just do nothing at all. I’m an artist that never really kept up a […]

Notes: This year the Fall season snuck up on me again. This past weekend was probably peak time for us, but the rain this week (and most of this past year…) knocked off most of the colorful leaves. Still scenic and calming though as I made the drive to the usual spots. Minnehaha Falls was picturesque but I doubt any “model” is […]
Continue readingPhotos: Oakland Cemetery in IR
Notes: Thanks to the Atlanta Model/Photo Meetup group, and of course Oakland Cemetery for allowing us to disturb this hallowed ground. Apologies to the phantoms and spirits roaming around with all the clicking and stomping. Infrared photos of Atlanta’s most famous cemetery, with a Sigma SD14 and 10-20mm. For every 5 shots that other cameras get […]

Random Notes: Helped out a friend at a wedding. Being a second option on a shoot actually allows one to be more free form and experimental since the pressures of delivering the exact shots are much less. I took the opportunity to bring some “odd” gear as well, the infrared Sigma SD14, in addition to […]
Continue readingNew Orleans: IR and Black and White
Technical Notes: Got a hang somewhat of processing the SD14 RAW files for false color infrared photos. All these random images are just from my photo walks or bike rides through New Orleans with the Sigma sans IR filter, which is turning out to be a heck of a little “ghost cam.” Again, the quirks […]

What’s that saying? People know the price of everything but the value of nothing? These images are from a Canon 10D, given to me by a good friend (Thanks JK!). It’s an older camera that doesn’t go for much on the used market, but I’ll graciously add it to the fleet. In the off and boring […]
Continue readingKodak Black and White Memories
With the recent demise of filmstock such as Polaroid instant film and now Kodak Kodachrome, I’ve been thinking about shooting more film. When I think back to random events in my life, I’m always glad that I carried a film camera around with Kodak black and white film, even when it wasn’t practical, […]
Continue readingPhotos: Random 85mm 1.4 Tests
Technical Notes: Random tests of the Nikon 85mm f/1.4, first impressions are: it’s not as versatile as the 105mm 2.8 VR Micro for portraits, definitely not as sharp wide open, and the minimum focus distance is limiting, but the bokeh is quite “painterly.” DOF is so shallow at 1.4 that you can definitely “buzz” a person […]

…Season 3 Finale… A big thank you to anyone who has enjoyed my artwork and photos over the years, and of course those who have met me in “real life” and have a slightly better idea of the person that at first glance, “just draws and takes photos of girls…” As you are reading this, […]
