Fujifilm X-Pro 2 | Beautiful Imperfections

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…
A Wedding At A Museum | X100F

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.
Sunset Over Palm Springs & An Annoying A7rII

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…
A Quick Stay In Yufuin Japan | X-Pro2 / X-T2

We took the train from Fukuoka to Yufuin Japan. The ride is a few hours through Japan’s countryside, carved out by rivers and rice fields hidden between volcanic peaks, the landscape here is amazing and is one of Kyushu’s must see spots. It’s also a great place to relax, or to just shoot some travel…
Shooting HDR With The X-Pro 2

When shooting Bodie, a ghost town high in the Sierras of California, I had my ten-month-old baby with me, and I needed to get some shots quickly without thinking about it. It was also 94 degrees outside and somehow raining on and off. I felt that bracketing shots was a good approach to getting an interesting take on this crazy California…
Twin Lakes Mammoth – X-Pro2

On my second night up in Mammoth, there wasn’t much going on with the weather. Clear blue skies were everywhere except in this one direction, looking out towards the Twin Lakes. Everywhere else, there were boring blue skies, so this was my shot for the night. In front of me were the twin lakes with…
Mono Lake Pinnacles – X-Pro2

I drove to Mono Lake and Mammoth to test out some Fujifilm lenses. Despite the rain earlier that day, I was fortunate to see an amazing sunset at Mono Lake. I planned to shoot at Mono Lake for two nights, but the sunset and weather were so good the first night that I didn’t need…
The Schindler House – X-Pro 2

Since I got the X-Pro 2, I’ve either been working or stuck inside with the flu. Finally, I’m about 90% healed and could go out again, this time to the Schindler House in West Hollywood. It’s a small old house / architectural marvel from 1922; it reminds me of old houses in Japan, except it’s…
Joshua Tree – Fujifilm XT1

A few weeks ago I found myself in Joshua Tree. I’ve been there a few times now but this time around things were going to be different. I had some new lenses, new cameras, and a different eye. The last few years I’ve been shooting a lot of Landscape and HDR photography and found myself…
The Monkey Baby And The New Year

2016 will be the year of the Monkey according to the Chinese calendar, so for our holiday card this year we ended up dressing our little one up as a monkey. This is the shot we ended up using for the card although I did manage to get a few more good ones.
