Notes: Lucked out and the weather was great. Didn’t have to go far (well not counting the drive to Statesboro from ATL), except to the Botanical Garden and Downtown. The golden light that illuminated everything in pastels was a million times better than any electric cathode LED contraption out there. That’s why it’s so valuable […]
Double Vision. 🙂
Last week of Fall colors here in Georgia. Smashing Pumpkins and Matthew Sweet is always on my soundtrack this time of year…
Norcross, GA
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 […]
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 […]
Model: Pauline MUA / Hair: Nhi Notes: I tend to shoot with a different style or theme than the last one. Just a way to keep from getting bored, and also use the gear that was just sitting on the shelf. People only see the end results, and not the general flow of the evening, […]
Notes: There’s this tree on the side of the road I frequently drive on, and it sure is pretty every single spring. Lots of gear for this spur of the moment shoot (for me at least), Nikon+Canon, Sigma IR, and different techniques as well, Nikon wireless CLS, radio triggered strobe, and the heat reflector you […]
Notes: Almost a full day of shooting on this test run. Thanks to everyone who came out and stuck it out through the warm weather. Luckily the sakura and other trees were in bloom, and I tried to make the best out of local spots, from up the street to across town. Another camera juggling fest as well, and […]
Momocon in Infrared Notes: Photos from this year’s MomoCon. Only went on Saturday, but it was fun. Great weather and city atmosphere, but it was somewhat chaotic and the long lines kept us from going anywhere. So it was more like a really long extended lunch in high school where the kids are free to run […]
Notes: “Team Neekon” for when we take photos…and “Team Jobless” for when we battle in Fat Princess!! 🙂
Notes: All the snow in the Southeast is a bother, but it sure does look good in photos. The Sun as the best and only light, and the icy landscape as a big reflector. I keep on forgetting to use the Lumiquest Softbox III. It’s small and easily fits into my bag. Combined with the sunlight, the results […]

MUA and Hair: Nhi Model: Christina, Miss Vietnam Georgia 2010 Location: My front yard 🙂 Technical Notes: All primes on this one, that is, lenses with a fixed focal length. 50mm, 85mm, and 105mm. Have a hard time deciding which one is my favorite for portraiture, so I just use them all.
Notes: Thanks to Rachel (and Vicki), Monica, and Lan for posing on a cold day at Piedmont Park. Cherry blossoms don’t last long, maybe 3 to 4 days at most around here. Again, my “shoots” are almost always organic in nature, mostly with a “let’s see what’s around the corner type of mentality” combined with trying […]
Notes: I don’t know if any studying really gets done at a coffee shop, but I would have to say these “workshops” work best when you combine talking about cameras and photography with pastries and drinks. No need to pay somebody to stand in front of a class, just create your own Team “Neekon.” Ironically enough, all […]
Random Notes: Took a field trip today, and like a little person, I did learn something…this will all seem so really random…maybe it’s because spring seems to finally be here, waking up everyone from the winter doldrums, and perhaps finally setting in motion the different themes and storylines for this year… Met and talked with […]
Notes: Forgot how much I like the 70-200mm f/2.8 for portraits. Used a good bit of everything in the arsenal for all these, and wouldn’t you know it, didn’t even touch the 85mm f/1.4. Pix below from the Foveon Sigma. If only the files look like that out of the camera. There is hope though, […]
