    YouTube Memberships & Other Updates

    YOUTBE UPDATE: Today I’ve turned on YouTube channel memberships. This will be an ongoing experiment as I figure how to make the most of it for both my members and myself. One of the biggest motivations is so I can do live streams and videos that are targeted to a small audience that wants to…

    I recieved 2 lenses for review from TTArtisan, the 23mm f1.4 and 25mm f2.0. This will not be the review. I will shoot with both of them for bit before I talk in more detail about them. I have started shooting with the 25mm f2.0 and thought I would share a few photos here. These…

    October 5, 2022 – Work in progress.

    I’m experimenting with some new recipes for my Fujifilm cameras. These shots are from my X-T4 using a recipe based off the Classic Negative film simulation as the base.

    October 4, 2022 – Blending In.

    Every time I go out to shoot street photography I try to improve. Sometimes I’m conciously working on improving compositions, exposure or the art of blending in to the scene. No one trick or method exists for blending in when shooting street photography. I’ve found that it depends on a number of factors. Some of…

    August 23, 2022 – Fujifilm X-Pro2 + NEW RECIPE “CHROME AURORA”

    August 10, 2022 – Fujifilm + B&W Photography

    Have I mentioned how much I love shooting black and white photography on these Fujifilm cameras? Of course that’s a rhetorical question. I’ve talked about it a few times on my YouTube channel. Fuji colors are fantastic and I love them but the look I’m able to achieve with my black and white work is…
