Love.

July 1, 2012 | No comments yet

As Isaac gets older, there are fewer and fewer opportunities when he will really cooperate when I have a camera in hand. The moments when I can actually collaborate on photos with a three and a half year old are priceless. I love the infrequent moments when he not only humors me by standing in […]

An Explosion of Color

June 27, 2012 | No comments yet

One very important difference between color and monochromatic photography is this: in black and white you suggest; in color you state. Much can be implied by suggestion, but statement demands certainty… absolute certainty. – Paul Outerbridge Yes, I am perfectly capable of reading a calendar. I see that it is still June. But my self-imposed […]

Mike + Diana – Thirty Five Years and Going Strong

June 18, 2012 | No comments yet

One of the things I have always loved most about photography is the opportunity it provides to meet new people and have a small window into their lives. Such was the case when I recently got an opportunity to take some photos of Mike and Diana to celebrate their thirty-fifth anniversary. To record this significant […]

Always Photograph For Yourself

June 5, 2012 | One comment

Though you may find yourself shooting photos for other people, always remember to shoot for yourself as well. Find those things that compelled you to pick up a camera in the first place. Photograph things that you love, and don’t worry if anyone else will love them. Remember that even though you have a hundred […]

Fun Day at the Lazy 5 Ranch

May 23, 2012 | No comments yet

Yes, yes, I know–that title image is in color, when I just recently wrote that I was going to shoot in black and white exclusively for more than a month. The purpose of placing such a creative limitation on yourself is to force you out of a comfort zone, force you to look at things […]

How is the 5D Mark III Light Leak Affecting Me?

April 14, 2012 | No comments yet

I know, I know, ANOTHER post about the 5D Mark III. This one, though, I feel is important, because there appears to be some hysteria building on the internet about a light leak around the LCD that affects metering. I have shot thousands and thousands of trouble-free photos already and haven’t noticed any issues. Does […]

Blah Blah, I’m Tired of Hearing About the 5D!

April 11, 2012 | No comments yet

I realize a lot of posts recently have been very gear-centric. I also realize that I have a tendency to go down that path, especially when I have something new to write about and talk about and generally annoy people about. I just wanted to say, rest assured, I have been out shooting as much […]

Stop! Did you hear that sound?

| No comments yet

It was soft, hard to hear. You had to be listening carefully to have heard it at all. It was quick, ephemeral, but distinctive. It was the sound of my 1D mark III shuffling to the number 2 position. Still respected, still relevant, but no longer the top dog. I just finished reading Zack Arias’s […]

My Great Disappointment: An Open Letter to Fuji

April 4, 2012 | No comments yet

Now that I have been shooting with the 5D Mark III for a few days, people have started asking me about the Fuji Xpro-1 again–am I excited about it, when am I expecting it, etc. etc. I was excited about the camera. Really, really excited. More excited for it than even for the new 5D, […]

Well, it’s Here: The Canon 5D Mark III

March 30, 2012 | No comments yet

I have my hands on a Canon 5D Mark III, thanks to B&H, and will be running it through its paces over the next few weeks. I am shooting  a wedding next Saturday and am hoping, in particular, to have familiarized myself with the many differences by then. In the initial run-through, first impressions are […]
