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…

August 7, 2022 – Welcome To Las Vegas Again.
One simple strategy that has helped me when shooting landscape, city or street photography is revisiting a location often. This seems obvious but I think it’s easy to dismiss a place that seems familiar and that you have a lot of shots of already. This area around the Welcome To Las Vegas sign is a…

August 5, 2022 – Neon Signs And Gatekeepers
Hey! It’s Friday morning where I live. So good morning and happy Friday. I posted these pics on Twitter following that trend where people post the camera then the photos. I normally post B&Ws so it’s fun to share some color work. I don’t have a ton to say today because I have a lot…

August 4, 2022 – Beneath The Clouds
I’m sure you’ve heard me mention this before but we don’t get many cloudy days in the Las Vegas area. Most of my photos have a clear blue sky as the backdrop. During this time of year, monsoon season, we will get some fantastic clouds. We get clouds during this time that other states see…

August 2, 2022 – Why Even Instagram?
I realize I’m older than the most of the active users on Instagram and TikTok. My opinions on the state of social media and its effects on photography have zero impact and maybe minimal value but the changing social media landscape is fascinating to watch. Instagram is doing it’s best to become TikTok and TikTok…

August 1, 2022 – Hello, August.
Hello August, Where has the time gone? As I get older I’ll never come to terms with how much faster the years seem to fly by. I’m looking foward to the high temps to calm down when it’s more conducive to go out and shoot more regularly. I’ll post some updates about gear soon but…

July 29, 2022 – Stormy Weather
I don’t have have much to say on this blog entry but I’m trying to challenge myself to take a photo that is at least someone what interesting each day. This one is looking out one of my front windows at the storm clouds that just rolled in. I was born in the midwest but…

Love Of Small Prints
Right now in my photography journey I am still so in love with black and white photography and making black and white prints. I stopped shooting film and sold my darkroom equipment last year. For many reasons I decided it was better for me to go all in with an all digital workflow. Creating prints…

July 25, 2022 – Blog Redesign
Although I have blogged more often the past few days, I haven’t done it daily. I could do it daily, or at least try it daily but I don’t always have something interesting to say. For now it will be often but not daily, or at least I won’t set out to do it daily.…
