Of Fog and Sun

January 15, 2014 | One comment

It doesn’t happen often, but every once in awhile, I get the opportunity to go out and photograph, unfettered by job or child or worry. Free to focus on whatever I find, I can slowly suss out themes, motifs, and pay keener attention to the subtle changes of the landscape. For a normally extroverted person, […]

X-E1 vs. X-E2… since you asked

January 10, 2014 | 22 comments

Yeah, this is a gear post. Some folks have asked me recently about the Fujifilm X-E1 vs. the X-E2, and so here’s my way of responding. I was going to just move past talking about the gear for awhile since it is only contributing to an unhealthy fixation on the parts of photography that don’t […]

Polar Vortex Serendipity

One of my favorite new shows on NPR is ‘Snap Judgement.’ If you’ve never listened to it, it’s definitely worth checking out. Not only is Glynn Washington a good storyteller in his own right, but he has also assembled a staff that finds amazing folks with amazing stories. A recent episode that I’d downloaded to […]

Winter Doldrums – Keeping on When There’s No Color & No Snow

December 30, 2013 | No comments yet

This blog is dedicated to my wife Hanna, who has to put up with my complaining and frustration every winter as I pass through these winter doldrums. It is also dedicated to Isaac, my intrepid companion on many of my excursions. He puts up with cold, rain, and boredom in exchange for the occasional ice […]

Fujinon XF 18mm f/2.0 Firmware Update

December 20, 2013 | No comments yet

Fuji shooters, I somehow missed the announcement of this lens firmware update, so presumably others did, too. Yesterday I updated both my X-E1 and X-E2 with the recently released firmware, and upon mounting my 18mm f/2 to the X-E2, found that it had firmware available also. This update follows the others from a few months […]

Appalachian Holiday

 “The old hunger for voyages fed at his heart….To go alone…into strange cities; to meet strange people and to pass again before they could know him; to wander, like his own legend, across the earth–it seemed to him there could be no better thing than that.” –Thomas Wolfe As I prepare a ‘Year in Review’ […]

Dawn and Robert have been married for ten years, and finally had the wedding they’d always wanted. Durham fixtures who I have had the good fortune to get to know over the past few years, Dawn and Robert are incredibly kind, thoughtful, and charismatic people that have assembled a fascinating crowd of friends and family […]

Decking the Halls: Holidays, American Tobacco, and Nouveau Velvia

December 1, 2013 | No comments yet

Okay, okay… all you folks have been champing at the bit since what seems like the beginning of September to get your holiday spirit on and put up the lights, wreaths, and Christmas trees, and it’s finally time. Let loose the caroling crooners over the airwaves, bring on the gingerbread, stockings, elves, menorahs, and dreidels. […]

Exploring the Zoo with the Fuji X-E2 and XF 55-200 f/3.5-4.8

November 22, 2013 | One comment

My annual trip to the North Carolina Zoo in Asheboro represents my first opportunity to shoot the Fujifilm X-E2 since it came recently. I had used it some before today, but not extensively, and not handling it in more “real world” scenarios. I had a day off with my son, the weather looked promisingly mild […]
