Sometimes you find yourself driving back from the beach then heading to work, where you find out that something like the NC Comicon is going on in your hometown. Upon inquiring further, you might discover that even though you missed the first two days, there is a final day that involves a group photo of […]
La mer est ton miroir; tu contemples ton âme – Charles Baudelaire I periodically return to the sea, both in a literal and figurative sense. Going to the coast, at any time of year, in any kind of weather, and putting the vast ocean in front of me always helps to center me, always helps […]
Yeah, yeah, I’m complaining about a camera that doesn’t even officially exist yet. Yeah, I’m one of those guys. Thing is, I’m not actually complaining about the camera at all, but rather wanted to take this opportunity to say “WTF Nikon marketing???” as the internet is already abuzz with leaked photos of the anticipated retro-styled Nikon Df. […]
A chilly breeze blew through Moore Square in Raleigh, the City of Oaks. The sun was setting, the fall leaves rustling. From bars and restaurants that line the square came the sounds of laughter, and conversation. Suddenly, there were sounds of shuffling, and groaning, of lifeless legs dragging along the sidewalk. My son and I, […]
I originally bought the Fujinon 60mm f/2.4 Macro as a stop-gap lens until the Fujinon 56mm f/1.2 comes out. However, I keep finding uses for it, and keep finding that I actually really enjoy using it–so much so that I may end up holding onto it, after all. With my Canon system, I used my […]
In 2006, I had a Nikon D200 and D300, and was looking longingly at the gorgeous full frame 5D in the greener Canon pastures. At the time, I knew that something full frame was about to drop from Nikon, but I knew that it would be expensive, and out of my budget, whereas the 5D […]
Isaac and I wound along rural highways, seemingly in the middle of nowhere. All around us were the changing colors of fall, trailers, farmland. On these two lane back roads, there wasn’t a modern-looking gas station or a fast food restaurant to be found. Just when I expected to discover that the GPS had led […]
It’s hard to know where to start. For one, I don’t love writing reviews, with lots of technical information and 100% crops and stuff like that. For another, this camera has been out for awhile now, and I don’t know that I have a lot to share, other than my own experience with, and opinions […]
Here we are already–Dan and Katie have already been married over a year. Time hurtling by. They’ve been enjoying their marriage and their photos for twelve full months. Through social media, I’ve seen them travel, party, and toil together. In the midst of a beautiful North Carolina fall, Dan and Katie got married in the […]
I have recently rekindled my love affair with small, mirrorless cameras. I can’t help myself, they’re irresistible. I have written some about it before, and I have a good deal more to write about it soon, but right now I’m still in the process of collecting data: photos, impressions, annoyances, joys. Consider this partly a […]
