August 22, 2022 – Reflecting On An Old Photo
Giving yourself time away from a creative project can be beneficial in many ways. When you return to that project with fresh eyes you have a different perspective that you didn’t have when you were in the thick of creating it. This is a difficult concept to grasp when you’re a young new artist of…

August 14, 2022 – Instagram, Twitter, Blogs and More….(and a couple of pics)
This blog only gets a couple thousand readers a month according go WordPress analytics. I will never take for granted the fact that someone takes time out of their day to see what I have to share, whether it’s on here, my YouTube channel, my Instagram or Twitter. Over the past few years I have…

July 21, 2022
I’ve had this blog for 4 years now. I’ve been really active with it sometimes and other times I go months without any new posts, like now. I always tell myself I should be more active but with Instagram moving away further and further away from the still image I’m even more motivated now to…

“DOWNTOWN TRAFFIC” – FILM SIMULATION RECIPE
I’m keeping this blog entry for this recipe short and sweet. I wanted to create a new B&W recipe that would look good in both daylight and night settings. I love shooting neon signs in B&W and thought it might be cool to see how something like this would do with that. I also wanted…

MY FILM CAMERA JOURNEY (REUNITING WITH THE NIKON F3) – youtube video
In my latest YouTube video I discuss my film camera journey. I’ve tried a ton of film cameras over the years and through all of that I’ve discovered the camera aspects and features that are important to me. Everyone has their own preference. Mine may not be the same as yours and vice versa but…
