Camera Review: Fuji GA645zi

Drifting one day to the next can be a comfort or a personal hell, all depends on the morning. When there is fresh coffee in the pot it tends to be the former. When you only have about thirty minutes to enjoy it because you have to whisk off to work i

Look at that guy! Not a single gray hair to be found. An ancient picture of me out in the Columbia River Gorge during the twilight hours.

I admit I am completely oppressed with old Motel signs. I seriously think they represent some of the best examples of colorful design and quirky character on display to the general public.

One day I'd love to road trip around backroads and forgotte

I really like the simplicity of the studio, especially as I get older in my life as a photographer.

Having the ability to spend an extra few minutes to compose a frame to perfection can be a wonderful way to work. Making sure there is just enough s

I have one thing to say and it's not going to be nice. Tonight the United States said loud and clear that it hates women so much it would rather throw in with a known grifter and a fraud. Really seems that being a singularly worthless man is still a

I have a feeling I'm going to spend most of my day feeling quite distracted. Typical. I think it will be best to focus on things like photographs, and records I haven't listened to in a while, and maybe tacos. You know, all the things that are best i

I'm about to get on my bike to go to work and it's pouring rain outside. Somehow this picture came to mind. This is not a complaint mind you, I sort of like riding in the rain.

I am so out of it that it didn't dawn on me until about two minutes ago that today is Halloween. Go figure... The predominate thought in my head right now is more, "Is it Friday yet?". That's adulting I suppose. I'm very much looking forwar

I do a lot of traveling to small towns and a common thread I see across the United States is boarded up movie theaters along the main strip. It makes me quite sad. So many of these theaters could be community gathering places. Get people out of the h

A little test shot I did a long while back when making sure a new lens I bought worked. I don't have any actual plants at home any more. I'm bad at taking care of them. Just a terrible "plant dad" if you will.

I really like the way in old Hollywood movies you can see the shadows on the wall from the massive flood lights they used combined with slow speed black and white film. I think it is one of many reasons older classic Noir Film still endure. Nothing r
