Spain and the Panasonic GF1 Revisited

June 3, 2011 | No comments yet

I have been back from Spain for a lit­tle over a week now, and in that time I have shot a wed­ding and got­ten back into the swing of things. Of course for the wed­ding, I used my usual Canon gear, and it was a great jux­ta­po­si­tion after hav­ing used just the GF1 for a […]

Erik + Iris — Wedding Day!

June 1, 2011 | 6 comments

After work­ing with Erik for sev­eral years at Elmo’s Diner, it was my great plea­sure to see him again on his wed­ding day as the pho­tog­ra­pher to doc­u­ment it. I enjoyed get­ting to know Iris from her vis­its to the restau­rant and then later for engage­ment and bridal por­traits. Dur­ing their rehearsal din­ner and wedding […]

Barcelona and the Joy of Photography

May 18, 2011 | No comments yet

I am in Barcelona, Spain, right now on a fam­ily vaca­tion. My wife Hanna man­dated that I not make this a photo-centric trip, which started me down a long path of recon­sid­er­ing my cho­sen kit of a Canon 5D and a few lenses, plus the Pana­sonic GF-1 and a sin­gle, 20mm f/1.7 pan­cake lens. At […]

What you use, and how you use it

May 15, 2011 | No comments yet

Above is my work­horse cam­era, a Canon 1D Mark III, and a Pana­sonic GF1, the new cam­era I take with me when I want the oppor­tu­nity to take good pho­tos, but don’t want the bulk or weight of my Canon sys­tem.  This post is sort of a riff on my Kit Lens Chal­lenge, going in […]

Zoooooooooooooooo!

May 3, 2011 | No comments yet

Rare is the day that Isaac, Hanna, and I all have free time. When the stars align and we get such an oppor­tu­nity, we try to make as much of our fam­ily day as pos­si­ble. With spring in North Car­olina already start­ing to get into gear, we fig­ured we should head over to the North […]

Reclamation

April 30, 2011 | No comments yet

I’m post­ing this image here in the blog because I reserve the rest of my site for peo­ple pho­tos. It’s impor­tant to me still, though, to get out and shoot things that don’t move, or have to pose, or smile, or what­ever. I’m post­ing this image here because I love it and for any of […]

Just a Reminder…

April 27, 2011 | No comments yet

I am gen­er­ally not on the band­wagon of pho­tog­ra­phers who think that the iPhone or other, camera-equipped smart­phones, are the answer to hav­ing your cam­era with you all the time and tak­ing great pho­tos. I like Insta­gram (though I don’t per­son­ally use it because they don’t have it for Android) and its ilk, and I […]

The Christies

For Trish’s birth­day, she said she wanted some pho­tos of her fam­ily. At the time, she was expect­ing Lucas. She decided to wait until Lucas showed his lit­tle face, and Lila was closer to her fourth birth­day, to take pho­tos. That spring would be in full bloom and the weather would be nice didn’t hurt, […]

Portrait Project: Reanna

April 13, 2011 | No comments yet

As my por­trait project moves along, I think I am def­i­nitely devel­op­ing a con­sis­tent aes­thetic. Obvi­ously the loca­tions and sub­jects are all dif­fer­ent, but there is def­i­nitely a “look” that is emerg­ing. Reanna was one of my very early subjects–I think maybe the sec­ond or third–and to my eye, her por­trait is a bit softer […]

Aaron and Jessica Get Married

April 12, 2011 | 7 comments

So of course Face­book is hav­ing some timely issues that pre­vent me from post­ing any pho­tos, right when I have pho­tos to post for anx­ious rel­a­tives. I have a lot of pho­tos to go through, but here are some early glimpses of Aaron and Jessica’s wed­ding day! Thanks to you both and your gra­cious families–I […]
