Film Throwback: Kodak BW400CN and Miss Viet Georgia Pageant 2012
Since I’ve been shooting film for the last few months I thought I would revisit some photos I shot back in 2012. Hard to believe these pageant photos are now 10 years old. So crazy the fast nature of life. Anyways, if my memory is correct I was shooting mainly with my digital Nikons and […]
Continue readingFound Film: Kodachrome from 1965
I found some slides and 35mm Kodachromes in a thrift store the other day. From the stamp the photos are from about 1965. It was a pretty cool find, someone’s wedding photos and precious memories sitting amidst the junk. Who knows what our era will leave behind for future generations to sift through. Here are […]
Continue readingPhoto Outing – 01-23-2022
Last week was snow here in Georgia, and now this week is the start of the various Lunar New Year celebrations around metro Atlanta. Hopefully both of those things signal an end to the cold weather. For Sunday’s outing I thought it would be cool to shoot for fun with some of the older cameras–a […]
Continue readingSnow in Georgia – 01-16-2022
It snowed here in Georgia, first time in a few years I think. Very nice backdrop for photos, but awful for the folks that lost power and heat. Anyways, here’s what I managed to get with many various cameras!
Continue readingBlack and White Conversions from Sigma Foveon Cameras
I gathered some random raw files I shot last year from my Sigma cameras and did some black and white conversions. Some from color, and some from infrared. You lose a bit of the drama in converting the near IR photos, but I mostly wanted to see if it’s unique enough to be doing more […]
Continue readingAnamorphic: Petit Le Mans 2021
Here are my photos from a quick stay at Petit Le Mans this year. Had the normal gear for regular pictures, but I thought it would be neat to mostly shoot with the anamorphic ISCO taking lens combo. It definitely has an Xpan type of look.

Here are my photos from the big game. The final score could have been a lot better, but I had fun. Learned a long time ago to not put your happiness into things you can’t control–like silly football games. I only took one camera, the weather was an amazing 71 degrees, there were still signs […]

Here are my photos as a guest from the wedding on Saturday. Everyone knows it’s impossible for me to show up at any event (work or otherwise) without a camera (or two/three) in hand. Thanks to my “interns” Bounsa and Cecilia for helping out! Hopefully the ice cream at Frosty Caboose was fair compensation. 🙂
Continue readingAnime Day Gwinnett – November 27, 2021
Had a wedding to attend on Saturday evening, but during the day I checked out the Anime Day event down the road at Gas South District (formerly Gwinnett Center). Pretty cool show, especially for $5.00! Parking was also $5. It’s nice to see a show affordable enough for the young folk to get in and […]
Continue readingFall in Georgia 2021 – Rolling Post
Hello everyone, I thought it would be neat to have a rolling post/feed of some of the random photos I’ve shot down here in Georgia this season. Fall is an odd time here, it gets hot, then somewhat cold, then hot again, and then finally the leaves change. Depending on where you live in metro […]

Motul Petit Le Mans – 2021-11-12 Fri Photo BlogMichelin Raceway Road Atlanta – Braselton, GA Hello everyone here are some of my photos from a lovely brisk morning at Road Atlanta for this year’s Petit Le Mans. Similar to cars, there are just too many cameras and lenses to pick only one, so here’s what […]
Continue readingPetit Le Mans Kickoff: Suwanee, GA – 11-09-2021
Road Atlanta had their Petit Le Mans Kickoff right in our backyard of Suwanee, so I headed there with my random gear. It was good to try out the possible kit that I’m still deciding on for this weekend’s race. I shot my normal Nikon 35/105mm combo, but also wanted to try out the Isco […]

This past sunday was the annual classic car show in Suwanee Town center (www.suwanee.com). It’s been a great start to fall thus far with the brisk mornings, fall colors, and of course the Atlanta Braves! I’ll try to post more going forward since I’ve been shooting with almost all the random gear in my fleet. […]

May is Asian American Pacific Islander Heritage Month here in good old Georgia. Thanks to the city of Dunwoody for hosting a small pop up event that allowed our girls to showcase their talents and passion for their heritage. Dinner was at the new Tum Pok Pok off Buford Hwy near City Farmer’s Market. Pretty […]

Happy Chinese/Viet/Lunar New Year everyone! Here are some of my photos from last week’s festivities from a few of our local CFM/HK Supermarkets. Please check them out for the best selection of food and groceries in metro Atlanta. www.cityfarmers.market. I sure hope that by next year the big events and pageants will return again! 🙂
Continue readingLate Post: Fall in Georgia Colors
Last year in 2020 I did manage to take a lot of pictures. There weren’t as many portrait sessions/hangouts that is pretty much my lifeblood, but all things considered I can’t complain about still having the freedom to even have photo walks. The images were sparsely posted on FB, but most just ended up on […]
Continue readingAtlanta – Photo Walk – 01-25-2021
It’s been a cold and cloudy winter down here in Georgia, but that’s pretty normal. With the lack of events happening I figured now would be a good time to get out there and try to capture some different landmarks and views around Atlanta. I’ve always said it’s good to be a tourist in your […]
Continue readingSigma SD10 (and SD15) “Review” and Photos (in 2021!)
Hello everyone! Around the holidays I added another tool to the fleet, an ancient Sigma SD10! This camera was announced sometime in 2003, and I lucked out because it came with 3 lenses, a flash, battery grip, and a hard case! Plus the camera looked like it had barely been used! So here’s what I’ve […]
Continue readingNikon 105mm 1.4E on F100 and Portra 160
Film will always have a certain pull on me. Even though I have tons of digital cameras that will produce instant pictures that I can edit immediately, the texture and process of film is something unique in this era. One combo I haven’t seen any photographer online use is the Nikon 105mm 1.4E on a […]
