Lao New Year at Wat Buddharam – Murfreesboro, TNSunday May 28, 2023 ( The photo slideshow begins at the 48:00 minute mark ) I took a day trip to Tennessee for the last and quite possibly the BIGGEST Lao New Year festival in the US! What an impressive showing of culture and fun from so […]
Thanks to Olivia + Friends for wanting prom photos! Hopefully I’ll remember everyone’s names next time! 🙂 Thanks to Thomas and Ek for tagging along. It was a fun type of super shoot with so much going at the same time and plenty of nicely dressed subjects! Thanks to everyone for posing (even those outside […]
Behold, here are some amazing lo-fi aesthetic photos from the iPhone 3GS! Again thanks to Phalatda for letting me take a trip down memory lane with this lovely image making device. I’m being very serious here, this phone renders some images like a disposable film camera. The newer cameras and phones are super great for […]
Thanks to Vivian and Sean for hanging out on Saturday. It was the only overcast day in between some rainy ones in late April, but I think we got some good results! Congrats to Vivian for finding an X100V! I remember being obsessed in searching for the original one back in 2011?! If you look, […]
On Sunday I brought along my Sigma SD15 as one of my bonus cameras. Just to get some field time with it and hopefully decent raw files that can be used for comparisons or editing “fun.” I’ve obviously written about these unique cameras on my site many times, but here’s an actual attempt at using […]
Cambodian Buddhist Temple of Georgia Khmer New Year April 16, 2023 | Lithonia, GA
Khmer New Year Wat Trairatanaram | April 16, 2023 | Atlanta, GA Happy Lao / Thai / Cambodian New Year everyone! Here’s the first stop on Sunday, the amazingly ornate Cambodian temple off Riverdale Rd on the southside of Atlanta. For some photos I went with a more pastel editing to complement the lovely colors […]
Decatur International Festival on the SquareSaturday March 18, 2023 | Decatur, GA Happy 200th Birthday to the city of Decatur! Some of my photos from a brisk but lovely sunny day on the square. In my short stay I captured photos of the Korean Drummers and Dancers, Indian Bharatanatyam Dancers, and Thai Dancers. Great job […]
It’s definitely been an early spring season here in Georgia. I can’t remember a year where the peach and cherry trees have bloomed at the same time.
75th Chin National Day February 18, 2023 | Gujarati Samaj | Tucker, GA Thanks again for the invite to CND! All Photos by Boon Vong, feel free share the post on your own accounts but with proper credit. Anyone needing photos in the future LMK!
Here are some photos from a fresh roll of Kodak Ultramax 400 on the Nikon F100 and various lenses. About this time last year the 3 pack of Kodak could be found at Walgreens for about $18.99 down here in metro Atlanta. Then it got jacked up to almost $28 just a few weeks later […]
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 […]
Thanks to Thomas for some rolls of expired film! My guess is the film might have been at least ten years old, but I’m glad it still registered an image. Here are some examples of the first expired roll on an F100 and 105mm 1.4E. Out of 24 exposures I think I got about 16 […]
Hello everyone, just thought I’d post a few random photos from the last couple of years taken with the Canon RP and EF 85mm f/1.2L. This is the mark II version of the lens and it focuses quite well with the EOS to R Canon adapter. This lens was pretty sluggish on older DSLRs and […]
The rain knocked down a lot of the leaves, but it’s still very pretty out there. With magical early morning light like this almost any camera would have worked, but I used my favorite Fall color camera the Nikon D50 and also a J1 and C Mount lens. I also shot film, Fuji Superia 400 […]
The Sigma SD10 is interesting in that the colors it produces is most like a normal DSLR from any of the other brands of the day (Pentax, Minolta, Nikon). The back LCD preview screen is “wrong” but it has an interesting reddish and violet color shift that is much more saturated than the resulting raw […]
It’s like nature flipped a switch this past weekend! Just a few pictures from a gloomy morning walk before events on this October Saturday. Cloudy, sky-less days are actually very good for fall photography I’ve found.
Biserica Ortodoxa Romana Sfintii Imparati Constantin si Elena Romanian Orthodox Church “Saints Constantine & Helen”October 22, 2022Â |Â Lilburn, GA scechurch.org I went to the Romanian Festival at the church in Lilburn on an amazing autumn Saturday! Very welcoming people and the Rosa Atlanta Bulgarian dancers were really great and colorful. Had the delicious Romanian […]
Diwali Celebration at BAPS Shri Swaminarayan Mandir October 24, 2022Â |Â Lilburn, GA Here are some photos from the very impressive Diwali celebration last night. So amazing how this (and many other unique places) is all in our backyard of metro Atlanta. I didn’t use any of my big work cameras (since they don’t allow […]
A few images from before and after the photo shoot (previous post). Just driving around some of the backroads in Georgia and the main road from Highlands NC into Cashiers. Very nice and still some time before the whole mountainsides become yellow and orange. It got crazy cold down here in metro Atlanta this week […]
It was a lovely day for a “surprise” lunch photo shoot for these amazing ladies! Thanks for letting this guy come along on the last leg of y’all’s birthday weekend getaway up in the mountains. Lunch was at very picturesque Julep Farms and Kitchen up in Dillard, GA. It’s a bit south of the border […]
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, […]
Took a drive to Highlands North Carolina to take some portraits. It’s still green and uninspiring down here in Georgia, but as soon as I made the turn up into NC the leaves were almost peak! You can never predict the leaf season around Atlanta, but this year it’s a lot earlier. Anyways, here are […]

Young Atlanta Fashion ShowHigh Museum of Art | Atlanta, GA | August 6, 2022 It was nice meeting everyone at the fashion show! Thanks to every fashionable person for posing for photos. 🙂 Great turnout, even with the crazy summer time rain that didn’t let up until after midnight. Feel free to use my photos […]
So here’s some of what I shot earlier this year on 2 more rolls of Fujifilm Superia 400. Unlike the two rolls that went into the point and shoot Olympus Stylus I thought I would put the film behind some nice primes. For one roll I used the Canon EOS 750 and 24mm 1.4 and […]
Hope everyone is enjoying the summer and avoiding the terrible heatwave! Just wanted to share some of the camera gear that I’ve gotten since earlier this year. Part of the fun of photography is wondering about another camera or lens’ special ability–since they all have one! Some of this gear was free, and others cost […]
