Malibu Girl | XT2

Not too far down in Malibu is this fancy little mall they call the Malibu County Mart. It's a nice little escape from the over crowded city that is Los Angeles, but also is a great place for the little one to explore.

With the introduction of Aurora HDR into my workflow, editing has become significantly more efficient and quicker. However, it now requires the use of three different programs (Lightroom, Photoshop, and Aurora HDR)…

Fujifilm X-Pro 2 | Beautiful Imperfections

  • Alik Griffin
  • February 16, 2026
  • 2 comments
The Fujifilm X-Pro 2 as of late, has been my favorite camera to use for incidental photography. I kind of just leave it around so it's very accessible, near the front door or wherever and grab it whenever I go outside. Aside from my X100F, it's become my grab it and go camera with the advantage of swapping lenses depending on the mood I'm in.

These last few years it seems like it's been one wedding after the next. They're usually pretty fun, but always a challenge with the little one, except maybe this wedding - this one was awesome.

Industar 50mm f3.5 Review | A Fun One

One of the more interesting vintage lenses is the Russian made M42 mount Industar 50mm f3.5 pancake lens. The Industar has won lots of praise over the decades and people really seem to love it. So is the lens good?

Fujifilm X100F – A Real World Review

  • Alik Griffin
  • February 16, 2026
  • 52 comments
The X100F is Fujifilm's new masterpiece and the fourth addition to the famous x100 line of cameras. The X100F seems to have taken the biggest step forward of any of the X100 camera upgrades with a new 24MP sensor and new battery for improved life and performance. Not only that but the X100F is also a autofocusing beast. It's what I consider the most versatile fixed lens camera money can buy and a street photographers dream come true.

Sunset Over Palm Springs & An Annoying A7rII

  • Alik Griffin
  • December 13, 2024
  • One comment
I pulled out my ol Sony A7rII again. I had to take a break from it for awhile and focus on some of my Fujifilm lens reviews. You know, I never did a full review on the Sony A7r II. Weird right? But there is a good reason . . . I don't really love it. And because I don't love it, it's hard for me to get excited enough about it to spend the time reviewing it. It's almost a super cool camera, almost, but there are a few things that really bother me.

Little Noodle Monster & A Homemade Studio

I'm by no means a professional studio photographer and come to find out, you don't have to be to get some great shots. So ignore the ego of most photographers, this is actually pretty easy if you already have a decent understanding of photography and lighting. The Photoshop is the hardest part. So for those that have no idea how this works, I'll share with you a little on what I do, my gear and how I've set it up.

Morning Sun | Tokyo

Traveling to Tokyo from California is always great for the first few days because it's very easy to wake up for the sunrise. I don't typically wake up until 10am since my lifestyle of working as an editor for an ad agency has made me completely nocturnal. So when you factor in the time difference between California and Tokyo, sleeping in until 5am is perfect for me.
