Location Scouting: Water Museum
Notes: Used the Gwinnett Environmental and Heritage Center on many occasions, but always good to revisit with a different angle. One of my goals is to record places for future reference, either for model shoots, or spots that might have cinematic or storytelling appeal. Plus it gives me a chance to do purely composition based […]

Notes: Found this Ampex Vidicon 25mm f/1.4 on another treasure hunt. The other 25mm I have focuses, but you can’t change the aperture. This one, you can change the aperture, but the focusing seems to have been set to infinity by the factory. A workaround is to “focus” by not threading it all the way […]

Notes: To get the 3D effect you have to use a Pokescope, or probably any other stereoscopic viewer. The Loreo lens is limited to f/11 or f/22, okay for outside shooting, but then I realized you can still shoot off camera speedlights with it. Brilliant! The plastic lens also creates lens flares that remind me […]
Continue readingIn Stereo
Notes: I’m done with regular old still photos and moved on to the next level ;). Playing around with the Loreo 3D Lens in a cap which is a stereoscopic image creator. Combined with the Pokescope, it sure does look neat, with a convincing 3D effect. This old world technology combined with the digital photography […]

Indian Food: Vegetables and Tamarind Sauce, Nan, and Curry: ★★★★☆ Notes: Second trip to the Southeastern Railway Museum. They love photographers or visitors in general so highly recommended for anyone interested in colors, urban decay, and a trip through time. Why modern day life isn’t as colorful I don’t know. Great place for both Lookbook […]

Notes: Helped out a friend on a pre wedding test shoot at Sacred Heart Cultural Center in Augusta. Place was massive and definitely a visual and architectural delight. In going through images to post, I normally cull the ones that fit the theme that I was trying to go for. For this one, the natural […]

Notes: Quick shoot a day or so before he had to go back to Laos. Thanks to KP for letting us borrow his very nice (and $$) PRS guitar for the shoot. 😎 The same brand of guitar that Carlos Santana and other famous musicians use (or get for free). Makes me think about how […]
Continue readingRandom Thursday
Notes: I don’t think I go out and take pictures, I more hang out, think of things to do other than being responsible, and the photos just naturally come out of it. A friend in college once told me he never got any of his work done because, “I was too fun to be around.” […]

Notes: I never went to photojournalism school to learn my photography. So in that way, I don’t have the code in which most of those types of shooters live by, the presenting of images unedited, without personal bias. I don’t know if I could live by that photojournalistic prime directive. I guess you could say […]

New Orleans, Easter Weekend. When I do get to travel, I take photos, I eat, and here I am writing about it. 🙂 I’ve been to New Orleans, probably over 20 times now. We arrived in time for the sunset and the glow of the city. Crescent Pie and Sausage Company Eggplant with crawfish sitting […]

Khmer New Year | Cambodian Buddhist Society | Lithonia, GA Hi! My name is Boon. I’m an Atlanta based Artist. I draw. I take pictures. I write. I’ve been covering events and documenting the multi ethnic Asian Pacific Islander community here in Georgia since 2004! Feel free to share with the links below. Thanks to […]
Continue readingSamurai Showdown
Notes: Can’t recall ever using IR on the waterfalls so I thought I would give it a shot, mixed in with some fake Samurai Showdown action. Kids, don’t try this at home, the rocks are slippery, and boy was it cold in that water. The wide angle forced perspective also makes the falls look tiny, […]
Continue readingWaterfalls
Notes: Pix from a day trip to my usual waterfall spots in N.E. Georgia–my old stomping grounds. Intermixed with the trailers and chicken coops are some really great spots, seemingly more so than here in Suburbia, ATL. Nikkor 85mm f/1.4 on the Canon, a combo I’ve been shooting with for the last few adventures. Still […]

Model: Minjee MUA/Stylist: Nhi Notes: I wonder if all the girls out there realize that most guys (including myself) prefer it when you ladies are just normal, without much makeup. We like you in t-shirts and jeans, scars and all… Granted, the first images are beauty shots for a specific portfolio purpose, but if it […]

Notes: Wanted to use the field again, and this is what we did before the wedding gig…maybe people will take my artwork and photos more seriously now…probably not… 🙂

Notes: Fridays seem to be good for color. Not too much gear for this one, the 24-105mm f/4 (which is not a bad lens when given enough light) and the Auto Sears 55mm f/1.4. That and some walking around and exploring to get to the spots. Actually shot a good amount of video on this […]
