Photos and photography related topics.
I don’t think it’s good enough to be a photographer. I think you have to be a philosopher with a camera. Otherwise you’re just shooting pretty pictures no one cares about immediately after seeing them. A brutal truth hit me as I woke up this morning. Will anyone care about all my photos and videos? […]
When is a photographer not a photographer anymore because they digitally manipulate their images so much? It’s kind of an interesting question, one which I’ve never really thought of before. However after reading some comments on various photos, I get the impression that some people don’t consider these images to be photographs or the people […]
This is my Nikon FE. I bought this camera around the turn of the century. I don’t remember the exact year now. Maybe 1999 or 2000. That’s my best guess. Which means I’ve owned it now for 16 or 17 years. Â Longer than any camera I’ve ever owned. Obviously I bought it used. It was […]
It’s been several years since I last shot a roll of film. I can’t tell you how long its actually been since I honestly don’t remember if it was 3-4 years ago or only seems like 3-4 years ago. Time has been flying by. Either way, I do remember quite clearly that around 2003-2006 I was […]

So two cameras have been announced recently that really get me going. First was the announcement of the Sony A7 and A7R (which I will refer to as one camera here since only the sensor is different) and today was the announcement of the Nikon DF. Both of these are retro style cameras. Inspired by […]
So every year for the last ten years my friends Jessica and David hold an annual Halloween party. This party is a paid entry fee with money going to CARE House. Which is awesome considering the thing I hate most in this world is injustice toward children. The Halloween party is always a lot of […]
On Saturday September 7th, 2013 Some friends and I went to the Michigan Renaissance Festival. It was a lot of fun. Here are some pictures from the day out.
Just a video blog entry about my camera situation. Considering a switch from my GH2 to a Nikon or Canon camera. Talking it out on video. Also considering picking up a Canon Vixia HF R400 for future video blogging. It’s not as high quality as the GH2, but smaller and easier to work with for […]
When it comes to hobbyist and pro cameras, their are two types on the market today. DSLR and mirrorless. DSLR stands for Digital Single Lens Reflex. In the film days before digital we called them SLRs without the D for digital. The term comes from the mirror inside the camera that flips up when you […]
