In November I was writing every single day and blogging every day. December has been a different story. It is the 16th as I write this and I have not written a blog in a couple of weeks. I have worked on my script a little but I’ve mainly been busy with other things. Hopefully …

The original Route 91 memorial for the tragedy was set up around the Vegas sign using the crosses as the starting point. Knowing that it was only going to up for a few weeks I visited it a few times to take photos. Below is a link to a short photo essay I did on …
Long story short, I purchased a Fujifilm X-T100. I intended to purchase a Fujifilm camera eventually but wasn’t quite sure when I would pull the trigger.

This is not just a rhetorical question for a blog post title. I still ask myself this question from time to time. My interest in the art of the still image was re-ignited a few years ago. Not long after, I was down a YouTube rabbit hole of videos about shooting 35mm film. Shooting on …
I love new gear just as much as the next person. If I could afford it I would buy a new camera or lens every month and never stop. Not only is that not fiscally realistic it is not conducive to being creatively productive. Getting caught up in gear lust or spec envy of newer …
In my last post I talked about what hardware I use to work on video and photo projects. Now I will cover some of the software tools I use to create with. Most of my working adult life as been as a video editor in one form or another. In that time I have used …
