Santa Fe, New Mexico – Pt. 2

Santa Fe, New Mexico is a lovely town. It’s got color, komorebi, and chiaroscuro maxed out for sure. So many contemporary art galleries too, with a few having work that would be at home on the east coast instead of out in the desert. This area has a much later spring than us too, and […]

Albuquerque, New Mexico – Pt. 1

Atlanta, GA to Albuquerque, New Mexico The sunlight out there is no joke! But luckily the heat is far drier than the humidity that we have here in the Southeast US. Here are some photos from Albuquerque, NM, including a Lao restaurant, a Lao temple, and Sandia Peak. I only took two cameras and kept […]

Summer Sunrises

I’ve been getting up before dawn for a couple of personal projects, here are some photos from some recent sunrises. And yes, it’s still quite hot and muggy at that hour… … …

Everything Out West in the Desert Reminded Me of a Videogame

Hello everyone, I just got back from a trip out in the American West and I couldn’t help but compare it to the video games I’ve played in my life. This amazing ancient land was first held by the indigenous peoples (Navajo, Hopi, Zuni and others), and then came Spanish conquerors, and then the Atomic […]

Road Trip – Day 7 – Springdale + St George + Vegas

St. George is definitely a great city to stop by and explore. There’s a free botanical garden with amazing colorful desert plants, and a high vantage point overlooking the city. There’s Utah Tech, a lovely white church, AND an Asian grocery store/restaurant! They have bamboo and pork buns too, along with the normal assortment of […]

Utah Day 6 – Zion National Park + Springdale

Utah Day 5 – Tropic + Kanab + Zion

It was time to say goodbye to Tropic and its awesome hoodie weather, with another quick morning photo walk. Sunrise wasn’t as nice as yesterday, but the light right afterwards was pretty amazing. Tropic to Zion is only like less than an hour, but a worthy detour is the town of Kanab, near the Arizona […]

Utah Day 4 – Tropic and Bryce Canyon Sunset

The night before actually had some moisture in the air, so it made for a very nice sunrise in Tropic. Just like back home, photo worthy sunrises and sunsets usually come after some type of weather. I startled this little black cat as I was filming in the morning. I guess its home was nestled […]

Utah Day 3 – Tropic + Escalante + Panguitch

The weather in Tropic this morning was once again cool and refreshing. In the back of the cabin area is a barn for chickens and they are pretty much the alarm clock. The whole time I couldn’t help but find parallels to this place and Samneua Laos. The first stop of the day was Mossy […]

Utah Day 2 – Tropic + Bryce Canyon + Kodachrome Basin

One of the best things about the town of Tropic Utah is the weather. In June it was an amazing 58 degrees in the morning and a high of about 74 degrees when we were there. All thanks to the high elevation of 6,000+ ft. There’s a lot of wind and tons of UV light […]

Peach and Cherry Blossoms – Suwanee – 2023-03-07

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.

Kodak Ultramax 400 + Nikon F100

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 […]

Fall in Buford, GA – 2022-11-01

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 […]

BlackMagic Pocket Cinema Camera as a Stills and Motion Portrait Device

Mini Review of the BMPCC: a superb video/cinema camera with the power to shoot Cinema DNG raws or simply take frame grabs from the video files--which rival most dedicated DSLR's.
