When the Apple Photos app makes curated memories from the camera roll, it likes to title most things of mine, “Hanging Out.” Which is great because that’s definitely tops on my list of fun things to do. Here’s what we ended up doing after the multicultural festival at the mall, come take a drive with […]
Gwinnett Place Mall | Saturday, May 14, 2022 Stopped by for about an hour before heading off on a fun adventure around town, but I’m glad Gwinnett county had a festival to showcase our diversity. Here’s hoping once they decide on what to do with the old mall that it will be a nice inviting […]

Here are random things that I’ve been fortunate enough to have eaten recently from our lovely food paradise that is Metro Atlanta! I know I’m biased, but until you’ve driven around looking around for good Asian food in cities around the southeast, you don’t know how good we got it. Anyways, here’s random dishes I […]
Catching up on posting a few recap photos from past events. This space was really nice! Unlike the plain corporate in the heart of the city ones that I’m used to, the open space and lighting made for some nice photos. The communal workspace is right behind Ponce City Market and I think there’s a […]
Here are a few photos from the event I helped cover after the Johns Creek Intl Festival. Pretty much like everyone else, if I haven’t been to a particular location for event photography work, I google to see the logistics of the place and what other folks have shot. Not every event is the same […]
Here are some of my photos of the Johns Creek Intl Festival from this past Saturday 4-30-22. Thanks to all who posed for photos! Everyone did a great job on stage. I definitely enjoyed the music from the School of Rock (The covers of “Rebel Yell” and “Bullet with Bufferfly Wings” was crazy!). There was […]

Songkarn Thai New YearWat Buddha BuchaApril 10, 2022 | Decatur, GA Here are some photos from our adventure this past Sunday. It was a Thai themed day, beginning with a stop at Wat Buddha Bucha to celebrate songkarn and get some blessings, to trying the new Surina Thai place in Doraville. The food was very […]

Here are a “few” of photos from my perspective of a guest. I sat all the way in the back row with my rarely used […]
Just some fun photos from the first “official” day of Spring down here in Georgia. Thanks to Chalita (@chalitanata) for always coming along for food+fun+thrifting. I don’t think it can be stressed enough that one can see so many different multicultural communities here in metro Atlanta. In a half day one can get great Thai […]
Holi Color Festival Yugal Kunj Radha Krishna Temple and Community Center Duluth, GA | March 19, 2022 Wow what a fun event! I didn’t get to stay long, but here are photos of the friendly folks I met on Saturday’s festival of color. I can’t believe I’ve never experienced this celebration that’s right down the […]
Every year it’s a little different in terms of blooming color here in Georgia. I remember at the start of the pandemic the colors were really nice and vibrant with a purity in the air. This year the cold snap kinda ruined some of the blossoms. Here’s hoping the cold weather will finally be gone […]

Thanks to the lovely ladies of the Lotus Petals Dance Group for wanting photos! Here are a few BTS from a fun short shoot on a crazy cold weekend in Atlanta. What’s going on with this weather lately. Also thanks for the doughnut! 🙂 I’ve been playing Elden Ring non stop for two weeks now, […]

Big thanks to Jenny and Vivian for coming out for a quick photoshoot on Saturday! It wasn’t as hot and humid as it was on Thursday and the sunlight was diffused behind a bunch of clouds. I wanted to use the Lunar New Year lanterns at Atlantic Station before they were taken down at the […]
Tuesday morning was cold and rainy but that made for some nice photos. Today though was crazy hot and it seems everything bloomed overnight. So here’s what I got from my normal drives and walkabouts. As you can see most of these spots are just simple non fancy places you can get to from the […]
Thanks to Claudia, Byung, and Jazz for coming out to take pictures with the flowering okame cherry trees in downtown Norcross. The petals don’t last long so I’m definitely glad when I can get a shoot in during peak colors. Rain was predicted for this day so we only had about a one hour window. […]
Sunday started off really cold but I wanted to take advantage of the morning light. No real plan on this day, just head out of the house with random cameras that I don’t use often, and be a tourist in our own area. I had two frames left on the Fuji Instax wide and at […]
74th Chin National Day February 19, 2022 | Gujarati Samaj | Tucker, GA Thanks again for the invite to CND. I had a great time covering the event. I feel like my main goal is to always paint the prettiest picture for the various Asian community events here in metro Atlanta. There’s so much to […]
It’s still a bit chilly for me, but the first trees that I normally use for photos bloomed late last week. While I was out location scouting I remembered this time of year would be good to get product shots of my photo books and products in the natural environment that I shot the original […]
So here are some photos from two rolls of Fujifilm Superia 400 shot with my Olympus Stylus Zoom. I got this camera from a friend years ago and it just sat on the shelf. It’s funny how in the midst of a film shortage in 2022 I thought it would be neat to roll around […]
Sunday was no real plan, just stop by a few events, drive around and shoot some film. Was late to the monthly Caffeine and Octane car show, but there were a few unique cars left that were worthy of a few frames of precious film. We also stopped by to see the Lion and Dragon […]
Went to Atlantic Station last night to see another Lion Dance ushering in the lunar new year. Pretty good turnout for a cold evening. The lanterns looked very nice during blue hour. I rolled with an 85mm 1.2 on the RP and Canon 24mm 1.4 on the Sony. It seems like I’m running into folks […]
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 […]
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!
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.
