Baby Number Two | What Camera Did I Use?

  • Alik Griffin
  • August 2, 2018
  • No comments
Epic, monumental life changing events, like a new baby being born, always begs that really big question, "what camera should I bring?" During the delivery and for the few days while my wife was recovering, I brought along several cameras, but only used a few. Don't worry, I'm not sharing any gross newborn baby photos. :)

A Weekend With The Fam | Fujifilm X-T2

  • Alik Griffin
  • December 8, 2023
  • No comments
Of course when I talk about family I'm referring to my Fujifilm X-T2 and X-Pro2, but I guess my natural family was there too. They've actually been all over the place these last few months, busy getting houses fixed, traveling, working etc. We finally had a chance to all meet up after something like 5 months and my daughter got a chance to show them what the terrible twos is really all about. Or for my oldest brother, I guess a reminder. Actually the terrible twos for his daughters never really ended. :)

Baby On The Deck | Fujifilm 35mm f1.4

  • Alik Griffin

  • 2 comments
It's sometimes fun to take the most mundane moments in the day and try to see if you can make anything interesting out of them with photography. Often as photographers we get stuck thinking we need to travel to capture life's great and unique moments, not realizing we all live as part of our own unique culture and it's around us everyday even in our own back yard - in my case, a one bedroom apartment and a deck in West Los Angeles.

Fujifilm 90mm f2 | Lifestyle Photography

  • Alik Griffin
  • April 22, 2024

I finally decided to buy the exquisite Fujifilm 90mm f2 and have been testing it thoroughly around town and at the pumpkin patch with the kids. I have to say, this thing is amazing and is one of Fujifilms best lenses in my opinion. Everything about it is just incredible.

During the seven-day Princess cruise up to Alaska, I tried to mix up my lens usage for reviews and to challenge myself. Carrying only a few lenses with me as I roamed around the boat seeing what I could capture.

There is a magical lens by Fujifilm that I feel just doesn't get enough credit or praise and I wanted to dedicate a post to it and the insane bokeh it's capable of producing.

Mastering Manual Focus | Fujifilm XT2

  • Alik Griffin
  • April 24, 2025
  • 2 comments
Lately I've been shooting quite a bit with the Helios 44-2 and other old vintage m42 manual focus lenses from the 80's. While shooting with manual lenses takes more time and isn't always as precise, it's much more rewarding and you feel like you have complete control of every shot you take.

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

  • 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.

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.
