Exploring Santa Monica Pier | X100F

This weekend my little two-year old daughter and I walked down to the train station for an evening down at the Santa Monica Pier. I've lived in Los Angeles for over 10 years now and this was my first time using public transportation. A very proud moment for me.

Beverly Hills – The Last Oasis

Wow, ok, so let me talk about Beverly Hills for a little bit since I live fairly close to this place. Actually, my wife works down the street from here and while she was working last Saturday, I decided to take a walk with the stroller so my little 2-year-old could take a nap - this is where I ended up.

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.

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 advantage of swapping lenses depending on the mood I'm in.

A Stroll Through Santa Monica | A7rII + Helios

In the very little free time I have these days, I've been still trying to go out and shoot at least on the weekends or between jobs. Finding time to actually process the photos is a whole different story. For this set my wife and our little one took a stroll down to Santa Monica with my Sony A7rII and a Helios 44M-2.

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 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.

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 getting stuck with the routine that often comes with those styles. I was just going with the trends and I needed to hit the breaks. This year I'm trying to shoot everything I can, looking for those incidental stories and moods. It can be challenging to get great shots, but at least this way the results are your own.

Rainbow Bridge – Part 2

Here are a few more shots of the Rainbow Bridge in Long Beach. It's been such an insanely busy year with the new child that I've hardly had time to shoot or even publish photos I've been taking.
