JA Fall Wedding – Photo Spots Breakdown
Hello, hope everyone had a good start to the holiday season here in the states. It’s cold and rainy right now and the year is winding down so I thought I would do a post about a neat wedding from earlier this month. (I could do a much longer post on the fact that on […]

Wat Lao Buddhakhanti Fall Festival 2025 Photos 4052 Zoar Church Road Snellville, GA I stopped by one of our local temples for a bit a few Saturdays ago. The small low key festival reminded me of the olden days, when there were so many trees on the property and things were definitely not as busy […]

Continue readingNikon 200mm f/2 vs Nikon 105mm f/1.4 Portraits
I had a fun photoshoot the other day. It was all outside and the weather was agreeable so it was a perfect project to use the best camera+lens combos that I have. I could have titled this post, “Portrait Shoot with Hanfu in the Warm Early Georgia Fall” but to be honest, in this era […]

Diwali in Dunwoody Create Dunwoody | www.createdunwoody.org Dunwoody Nature Center | October 17, 2025 Fun family event, with some great food from a new restaurant! I definitely liked the spice level. Two sets of photos, one right before sunset with some nice sunlight, and the other in the pitch blackness. Definitely a test for my […]

Petit Le Mans Kickoff 2025 Photos Suwanee Town Center | Oct 7, 2025 Another fun night in downtown Suwanee with these crazy race cars! Thanks to the drivers and teams for bringing the impressive machines and the lovely models for posing! The RA tent had a lot of good free merch too. I shot the […]
Continue readingCanon R8 + Nikon 105mm f/1.4E vs Nikon D700 + 200mm f/2G
I have enough material from work level stuff to post this quick comparison. Not to show which one is “better,” but to just simply show the image rendering and bokeh that one can get with these two setups. The idea for this came from the Lunar New Year at Stone Mountain, as I wanted to […]

Sunday Feb 9, 2025 | Stone Mountain, GA Hey I made it out to the last day of the Lunar New Year Festival at Stone Mountain park. (First Set of Photos Here if you missed that post) The weather was great and there was even a cherry tree in bloom! Thanks to the Chinese Cultural […]
Continue readingFujifilm GFX 50S + Nikon 105mm f/1.4E
With all the buzz around the new Nikon Z 135mm f/1.8 Plena, I thought I’d exercise some self control and instead tinker with my existing “free” combos. Here are some sample portraits and photos with the Nikon 105mm 1.4E on the Fuji GFX 50S. It’s mounted with a simple dummy adapter, the one I use […]
Continue readingNikon D700 + 105mm 1.4E
All this time I totally forgot about trying the 105mm 1.4E on the classic D700. This lens usually stays forever mounted on my other main body. Always wide open at f/1.4 because well, that’s where this lens shines annnd because the D610 sensor is so dusty every speck shows up at smaller apertures. The D700 […]
Continue readingSunday Funday + Bonus Rainbow!
Thanks to Chalita and her dad for randomly stopping by the other day! Here are some photos from a somewhat spontaneous mini adventure. The rainbow was definitely unplanned, but for Georgia in the summer, it always has to shower unexpectedly somewhere. Stepped out of the house with 3 cameras, and 3 different lenses. Nikon D610 […]

Before the hurricane and tropical depression rolled in we were on our way to a nice colorful fall down here in Georgia. But as usual, the wind and rain knocked down so much of the foliage around me. I did manage to squeeze in some film shots alongside the normal digitals. It’s still fun to […]
Continue readingOlivia – Fall Portraits – 2022-10-08
Thanks to Olivia, Nadia and Mena for the great collaborative senior photo shoot! It was really fun exploring and shooting in a totally new (to me) area. Crazy how two hours north of Atlanta can have such different color this early in October. Great job team! Here are a few photo highlights of our day, […]

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 […]
Continue readingMomocon 2022 Photos and a walk around Atlanta
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 […]

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 […]

This is what it looks like this year on Arabia Mountain and other random spots around town. Banh Mi on that flowering oasis spot seems to be a tradition, I hadn’t done that since ages ago with Christine. 🙂 Thanks to Byung and Claudia for taking my picture! The flowers and desert plants truly are […]

Today was a quick fun shoot with the blooming peach tree and a surprise trip to the carnival! Hard to believe I’ve known this superstar since she was a “baby potato!” Cotton Candy and Del Taco for dinner?! Truly the life of a star. 🙂

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. […]

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 […]
