On a trip to Sanford, Florida, I had really been wanting to try my hand at some photos of the old piers at night.  They just captivate me.  Since our car was already crammed full of stuff for our daughters, I really had no room for a tripod.  So I just had to wing it. Read more »

This is Nana. Nana is my wife’s grandmother, however, she feels much like my own.  I can say a lot about her, all positive, as she is incredibly inspiring.  Having gone through a hip replacement, she was still dancing at the reception at our wedding.  Since then, she has battled with more surgeries and even fought breast cancer, having won that battle as well.  One of the reasons she is so inspiring is not simply because of her victories, but how her head was held high during the fight.

Always positive, always smiling, always knowing she would come out on top. She is a survivor.

How it was shot: This was taken with a Nikon D700 and Nikon 50mm f/1.4.  Shot at 1.4 this was taken with available light.  I believe I used Nik Silver for the conversion from color.

As you may or may not know, my wife and I now have our second daughter.  Which means what we want takes a back seat.  So when my wife got a chance to get her hair done, I was really stoked to see the outcome.  So much so I begged her to let me take a quick shot. Read more »

So today on the way home, I realized that for this site, I rarely post any of my work.  Not really sure why it hit me or why that is the truth, but it is.  So why not change that? From here on out I will do my best to inject some of my personal/non-client work here in addition to the resources and other madness that is going on. Read more »

Georgia has some great photographers.  Despite being competitors, we all can learn a great deal from each other in one aspect or another. This is the second in a series of interviews with Atlanta area photographers.

As with my first interview, the photographer I selected to interview was one that I barely know.  I have only met Otto once on a photo stroll.  Prior to meeting Otto I had stalked his Flickr stream on a more than regular basis.  Sure, he uses a wide array of cameras, shoots film, and that is all impressive.  What captivated me the most was his control of composition, creating mood, and seeing what other people would not see. It was only natural to shoot off a couple questions his way. Read more »

Before I get into the meat and guts here, I wanted to say that I barely know Trent, the first photographer selected to be interviewed.  We have only met once.  I have followed his work online and always been intrigued by his ability to capture people as well as he does.  It is clear that Trent possesses the technical know-how to execute exceptional photography, but he also has an eye for what looks good.  Combine the two and in my opinion, you have a very talented photographer. His body of work is enough to cause envy, so the desire to interview him was an easy choice. Read more »

Today I took 2 rolls of 120 and 1 roll of 35mm into the lab to have the negatives developed.  With the Canon 8800F that arrived this week, my plan was to get the negatives and start scanning rather than have the lab place any images on a CD or even print them.  Below the fold is the result… Read more »

My first time out with the Holga was quite an experience.  I really enjoyed the simplicity of the camera and perhaps allowed that simplicity to complicate the process in which I normally enjoyed. Read more »

Had I not been fighting both the flu and bronchitis, I would have posted this a tad bit earlier.  My Holga 120FN arrived this week. Read more »
