Reston Pride
I attended the Reston Pride festival at Lake Anne on Sunday. I’m trying to learn some street photography but have not worked up taking photos of people yet.
New Camera Day
We had a new camera day a few weeks ago. Two years ago I bought a secondhand Fujifilm X100F and loved it. For years my photography was big DSLR, filters, tripod, and hang out until the light was nice. It’s gradually transitioned over to the best camera being the one I had one me, and…
Monday Photowalk
Just a few images from a quick photowalk yesterday afternoon. I’ve got enough cameras to bring a different setup depending on my whims. Yesterday was the 6D and 50 f/1.8. I used to not like this focal length but have been drawn to tighter images than my usual 35mm. It really makes me want something…
The Gardens
Today I took the X100F out to Meadowlark Botanical Gardens. I quite like how some of these photos turned out. I cannot decide if I like this last one of the unfurling fern. It ended up feeling a little too processed and constrasty. Maybe too much vignette? Either way, I like the composition but could…
My Zine has Arrived
Last year, during our tour of the northeast road trip, I decided it was time to explore some new photo mediums. I’ve seen various creators post about their zines online and decided to give it a try. I learned a lot, about fonts, CMYK printing, how to use layout software to name a few. Overall…
Snow
I’m trying something new – posting here instead of Instagram. No one will see it but I won’t be giving Meta anything. And that’s fine, my photography has always been for me. I’m trying to walk around and take more photos. I see street photography online that I love but struggle with composition. This one…
NYC
This weekend saw my first trip to New York City. The occasion? Galactic, in a jazz club in Manhattan. Overall a fun trip. New York certainly has its charm, but there is so much trash everywhere. Galactic was incredible and we had the best seats in the house to watch the drummer. He ended up…
Colorado
October saw me visit Colorado for a wedding. Post wedding I spent two nights in Frisco and had absolutely peak color.
Washington State: Part Two
Part two of this adventure moves back over to the mainland to experience some stunning hikes in North Cascades National Park. First afternoon in the park led to typical entrance sign pictures and an absolute banger of a first image. Diablo Lake at sunset just stuns. Nothing describes the mountains, sun rays, and teal of…
Washington State: Part One
It’s been a long time since I wrote or posted anything, in fact, I have not written since I moved from Squarespace to WordPress. Ever since work sent me out to Seattle I’ve been quite enamored with Washington. The Pacific Northwest really is totally different from anything I have ever experienced. Anyways, this trip had…
