Lao New Year Practice -ˋˏ ༻❁༺ ˎˊ- Wat Lao Buddhakhanti | Stone Mountain, GA I was in the neighborhood this past Sunday so I thought I would stop by! Here are my photos without meddling too much in the LNY Practice for the upcoming event on April 19-20th. So crazy how I’ve been here this […]
What an outrageous combo the D700 and 200mm f/2 is! I’ve been having fun with it on my morning walks this spring and the occasional portrait session when I have my STR/STAMINA points maxed out for the day. From a beauty and technical level this might be the best lens I have, since it draws […]

It’s been a crazy long winter down here in Georgia (some of the okame cherry tree photos were shot on a 32 degree morning on Feb 22!), here’s hoping the warm weather will fully return soon so I can get some more photo shoots done! As of this week, the peach blossoms have started (the […]
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 […]
Was driving around this morning location scouting and saw these amazing flowering apricot trees. In the dead Rite Aid across from Atlanta Toyota on Pleasant Hill! These trees have seen better days, but still so pretty. It’s crazy how there’s not a single leaf on those branches and are just pure blossoms. From my recon, […]

Hello everyone, in thinking of my series of posts about all the lovely cameras and lenses I have, I forgot that like many of my tools, I buy them, use them and never really got around to “reviewing” them. That’s how much I love taking pictures and editing. Much better than arguing online with random […]
Momocon Cosplayers on Ice January 4, 2025 | Atlantic Station | Atlanta, GA www.momocon.com | www.atlanticstation.com ❄❄❄❄❄❄❄❄ Thanks to everyone for braving the cold and posing for photos!

Hello everyone, here are some photos from the last two weeks or so with my new favorite combo, the Nikon D700 “Classic” and 200mm f/2. Yes it’s a heavy beast of a setup, but man are the pictures sharp and colorful, with a contrast and punchiness that can be had straight out of camera. Nothing […]
Wow I shot these with Vivian (@imnotvee) last year and I don’t think I even posted more than a few. Well ’tis the season, so here are some more random portraits as I get back in the swing of things. 🙂 These are shots that I would probably print out as 4×6″s just to keep […]
I shot these photos with Amanda in 2020, which seems like forever ago. Don’t know why I passed by these specific ones on the first pass. I think that’s the cool thing about digging thru the archives of old photoshoots. Even some of the off poses can have their own charm when they’ve had to […]
It’s been many moons since I’ve done separate single posts of “model” shoots here. Those are still quite popular on the ol youtube and web of course, posed photos of pretty people with some new lens or latest camera involved. I think at some point I just enjoyed the randomness of the hang outs I […]

Nikon Nikkor 200mm f/2 G VR Sample Photos + Review It took about 20 years but I finally got one of the lenses that I’ve wanted for so long, the AF-S Nikon 200mm f/2G VR. It’s a heavy relic from the early days of DSLR imaging, announced in May of 2004, long before Nikon had […]

Hello everyone, now is the time of year where I try to head out as much as I can, get some air and exercise and admire the lovely trees and colorful leaves. I think I’ll treat this as a rolling post that I’ll update every couple of days or so. This year I was going […]

Peachtree Corners Town Center | Sept 29, 2024 Pretty cool way to start my Sunday morning at an informal exotic car meet in P’tree Corners, which fun trivia is Gwinnett’s newest and biggest city. 🤔 Dusted off the GFX since I hadn’t used it in a while, and it’s definitely still the dynamic range king.
