I took pictures of these characters, expecting to find a proverb or saying. Instead, I discovered these are not from any Asian language but are the work of an artist who takes inspiration from Asian cultures. The murals are by the same artist. Even though I find the charactersContinue Reading
While walking on a side street in Midtown, I came across this building with a display of exterior piping. The pipes were two colors—yellow and red, I think. Given the window diagram, I assume the pipes were intended as a statement of sorts. The deep shadows madeContinue Reading
“Hot and dry” is the best way to describe this spring. From mid-March until last week, rain has been scarce. I had to start my watering routine far earlier than normal. Despite the lack of water from above, there has been an unexpected explosion of wildflowers. LastContinue Reading
Rarely do I shoot an entire 36-exposure roll in one outing. Since my usual practice is to carry two or three cameras, I end up with rolls of 10-20 exposed frames, and the remaining unexposed film is used in the other cameras. Once exposed rolls are removed in aContinue Reading
Over the last six years, I have used my 50mm lenses many times. Oddly, this AF 50mm f/1.4 has gone unused for reasons unknown. Thus, it is the subject of the first Fab 50s post. My expectation is that, when all has been said and done, there will notContinue Reading
I’m a sucker for reflections. Watching the clouds in the first image slowly move, contrasted against a clear, blue sky, was like watching a movie of sorts. The second image caught my attention because the light reflecting on the banner resembled ripples on a pond. In the third image,Continue Reading
The Savannah College of Art and Design’s Atlanta Campus is located at the northernmost tip of Midtown. Over the last ten years, its footprint has expanded significantly. While on one of my many strolls through Midtown, I noticed this door. When I saw the thesis’s subject, thisContinue Reading
Sitting at 87 15th Street NE, The Castle, as it is called, is an odd sight. It sits amid a copse of glass office towers in the heart of Midtown Atlanta. Built in 1909 by agricultural magnate Ferdinand McMillan (1844–1920), it has stood its ground all these years. AcrossContinue Reading
Description: An orchid in full bloom Background: Last Father’s Day, my daughter gifted me this orchid. At the time, it was in full bloom, and, after a few months, the blooms fell off. Having heard that orchids were notoriously difficult to grow and maintain, I assumed those were theContinue Reading
Well, it finally happened—I have a Sony A7 II! This Sony A7 II was the final item on a photography wishlist that I started in 2019. My Olympus 4/3 and m4/3 cameras, which I used mainly to test full-frame lenses, were both cropped (2x) sensors, and their limited fieldContinue Reading
