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. This is one of those looks that has hints of a film look but sill has the overall clarity of digital. I shot these test photos…

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”
The camera experimentation continues. A few months ago I picked up an X-T3, which I still have (I need to blog about that one and make a video too soon) along with my X-H1 & X-T4. And last week I picked up a Fujifilm X-Pro2. I only plan on keeping 2 of these by years…

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 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…

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…

“LUMINESCENT” – Film Simulation Recipe (Created on the Fujifilm X-T1)
This is my first recipe that I created specifically with night street photography in mind. This mimics no specific film stock but shares a couple of elements of some color film stock that has been used for similar scenes. This recipe works great with artificial lighting that you find in city street scenes. But because…

“STONE GARDEN” – FILM SIMULATION RECIPE
This STONE GARDEN recipe sits somewhere between my C-3400 and METRO ELEMENTS. They were all built with the idea of street photography in mind. This is the latest addition to my color street photography recipes. I appreciate recipes with a vintage look to them, I’ve created some and I intend to create more but this…
