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…

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…

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…

“REFLECTED CONCRETE” – A B&W Film Simulation Recipe
I want to create as many good B&W film simulation choices as I can for the X-T1. “REFLECTED CONCRETE” is my latest B&W recipe. This sits somewhere between my “STREET SPIRIT” and “TONED CARBON”. I know it becomes difficult to tell these B&W recipes apart at first but once you shoot with them often enough…

“STREET SPIRIT” – A Versatile B&W Look.
My first 2 black and white film simulation recipes were high contrast looks. Sometimes you need a slightly lower contrast film sim recipe to help soften shadows a bit. My next couple of recipes were built based on this need, including this one “STREET SPIRIT”. I built “STREET SPIRIT” on my X-T1 but just like…

1 October Memorial In Photos
My photo essay on the original memorial at the Las Vegas sign. October 1, 2019 – I originally posted this blog on Medium nearly 2 years ago. Not long after the tragedy on October 1, 2017 an impromptu memorial began to build around the Welcome To Las Vegas sign. I was so moved by the…

Route 91 Memorial
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…
