A Fuji GFX Sample From Cuba
A couple of weeks ago I went out to Cuba to make some pictures and tasked with only making them with one camera - the Fuji GFX-50S Medium Format camera. I'm working on a couple of blog posts I need to get done on it now, but it's got me looking at the pictures. Holy Moly. Made me want to fire the printer up - I want to see these things on paper. That camera was unreal... More soon...
First Shot School – Now Live
I'm so excited to announce that our school is finally live. Mia, Kevin, and I have spent quite a bit of time building our studio from the ground up with the purpose wanting to really help in the photograph the community. You can find out more at Why I Think We Can Help I've been working in online training for photography for over 10 years. I've been a teacher for over 20. One of the things that i've always wanted to do is teach with a specific purpose. Make…
2016 is Gone. Long Live 2016.
I really thought I would write this blog post talking about how hard 2016 was, and how happy I would be to see it go. But the more I thought about it, the more I couldn’t be brought to think of it like that. While, yes, there were certainly things that changed for me this year– truth of the matter is – this change was something I really needed. (Now, If you’re any kind of reader of this blog, you’ll know that I go for long periods of silence –…
Post Christmas – Print Sale
So, I spent my Christmas day playing around with some of the pictures that I took over the trip and making prints. 4 of them really stood out to me, and I havent really posted them online (yet.. going to over the next few days). I got a couple of asks about the Burj Al Arab picture for prints, so I figured i'd put some out here. Each of these pictures are on 8.5x11 paper, Hahnemuhle stock (I like the William Turner 310, but can do Gloss options too).…
Burj Al Arab – Dubai – D500 Exploration
I've been stuck in the studio working on a bunch of stuff for the launch of the site - that I figured it be nice to get out and make some pictures for a change. Dubai is always tops on my list to visit so off I went! I had been asked to take a look at the Nikon D500 and give my impressions on it over social - but I didn't own the camera. So, off to Borrowlenses I went to rent it for about 10 days. This was…
The Coffee Master Totem
In February of last year, I was out in Dubai attending Gulf Photo Plus during a particularly turbulent time in my life. I was on a plane to an incredibly cool place in the middle east -somewhere I have always wanted to go and have become fond of over the last couple of years - and yet I was feeling like I was hurling through the air falling off this imaginary cliff. Dubai could not have come at a better time. I wanted to take advantage of the day off before…
Building a Kung Fu Wooden Dummy With a Master
Meeting the Master Back in January, I got together with my friend Kim Patti to talk over some photography stuff. As we chatted, I learned that Kim was a retired Army/Navy guy that has spent al of this life doing woodworking - from a kid, to teaching it in school and to adults. Here I was, Face to face with a true master! I relayed to Kim that I had been practicing Wing Chung Kung Fu for a while, and one of the things that I was dreaming about doing was…
