Took a drive to Highlands North Carolina to take some portraits. It’s still green and uninspiring down here in Georgia, but as soon as I made the turn up into NC the leaves were almost peak! You can never predict the leaf season around Atlanta, but this year it’s a lot earlier. Anyways, here are […]

We stopped by the good ol’ Mall of Georgia for their 1st Anime Event. It was fun. Maybe next time someone will bring a console and tv with some fighting games. Or perhaps rent out an unused theater screen for an anime gaming tournament?! That would be really cool. 🙂 Pretty crazy how this mall […]

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 […]
