Above: Nikon D4, Nikon Df, and Nikon L35AF The other day I was thinking about toys, and how little kids from every walk of life love and cherish them. When we first moved to this country, I’d just started Kindergarten and was so proud to participate in show-and-tell with my little racecar and the tiny […]

UGA Homecoming Parade Athens, GA | Oct 4, 2024 It was a short but fun parade in Athens the other week. Walking around downtown is so different now. The old yellow gingko trees are long gone, and I used to remember them raining down leaves and the distinct smell as we walked to the comic […]

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. […]

Seems like those things happen quite often nowadays. Awful to see all the flooding in western North Carolina, Asheville and the […]

Hong Kong Atlanta Dragon Boat Festival (From the Lao perspective!) 🙂 Gainesville, GA | September 7, 2024 Another fun time at the Atlanta Dragon Boat festival up in Gainesville. We’ve been participating / competing / dancing at this great event for such a long time now. In fact, the “throwback” shirt that I’m wearing is […]

Big thanks to Vivian and Sean for coming over to hang out! Showing some of the images we got on the adventure in reverse, because at the end of the day we were blessed with a pretty great sunset at the new Suwanee Park. It took a late evening rain storm, but that’s usually how […]

The other day I stopped by a cruise in before heading out to grab some Chinese food for dinner. Lots of nice cars and bikes! It was great chatting with everyone. I’ll plan on coming back, since during the summer it seems like folks disappear or have other plans–but there’s always a car meet somewhere, […]

Continue readingNikon 85mm 1.4D + GFX 50S
Last week I thought I would give this combo another try–a now “vintage” Nikon 85mm 1.4D adapted to the GFX with the simple dummy adapter. Last year I wasn’t too keen on the 67mm “equivalent” focal length when mounted on the medium format GFX sensor, but for this colorful spring I thought it would be […]
Continue readingVintage Cameras in the Spring
These are from a few weeks ago, but I wanted some nice “product” photos of some of my vintage cameras. Just nice to have, and it always makes me appreciate the design and styling of these photographic tools. And yes the Polaroid 100 still has a pack of Fuji FP-100C in it, a rare and […]

Wat Buddha Bucha Thai New Year Songkran April 7, 2024 | Decatur, GA The L/T/C New Year “season” here in Georgia normally begins at the Thai temple and runs all the way to Memorial Day(!) when folks everywhere congregate up in TN. Today had brisk cool weather and a large turnout for the alms giving […]

Continue readingWhat’s Blooming at Chattooga Belle Farm – Late March 2024
It was a lovely brisk morning at Chattooga Belle farm. The peach blossoms here were almost peak, but the ones back in Georgia are pretty much fading and turning into green leaves. So cool to see the flowering Asian pears too. Will have to try all these fruits, including the blueberries and crispy apples during […]
Continue readingCherry Blossoms in Bloom – 2024-03-10
Cherry blossoms (both the pure white and pink ones) are pretty much in full bloom right now in Georgia. Which bodes well for the festival down in Macon if you’re heading down there. If I recall it’s always been tough in recent years for the parade and festivities to perfectly line up with mother nature. […]
Continue readingSpring in Georgia + GFX
Model: Amanda | Gear: GFX and Nikon 50mm 1.8 Ai-S The dynamic range and tones available in the GFX raw files are something else. Really a lot of latitude to pull back highlights in skies.
Continue readingOkame Cherry Tree Portraits + Hangout
Model: Chau | Gear: Sony + Canon Lens / Canon + Nikon Lens (yes both setups manual focus on purpose) These okame cherry trees are the first to bloom in Georgia. Sometimes as early as the first week in February, when it’s still pretty cold. There used to be a more purple one on the […]
Continue readingSpring Photos + Nikon D5300
Model: Chau | Lenses: 18-55mm kit lens and 105mm 2.8 Micro (Nikon J1 for the product shots) I would have to say I’m really enjoying using this “consumer” camera. The Nikon colors really show up well on the LCD with the brightness at max and +2/3 EV. Like all Nikons the default metering almost always […]
