The Camera Paintings – Leica and Canon
After the last post about the Leica M Monochrom and its inaccessibility to people such as myself, I thought I should balance the reporting by showing that I actually think they are really well made cameras. I am a sucker for high quality items, so when my friend Zachary Proctor (oil painter) momentarily put a [...]
Leica’s New Camera – the M Monochrom
LEICA’S M MONOCHROM This is definitely not a review of a very expensive camera, which I will likely never own. This is commentary on market pressures (even unstudied ones) and the place of the camera is various people’s lives. Just last week, Leica, a German-based camera manufacturer, notoriously known for crafting fine cameras in the [...]
New Image – “Wildflowers, Albion Basin, Utah”
ALBION BASIN, LITTLE COTTONWOOD CANYON, UTAH Ah, yes. Spring moving into summer. With Mother’s Day just around the corner, it seems appropriate to feature a new image with more wildflowers than you can shake a stick at. Last year, I was able to work on a project for a Utah-based firm and took some images [...]
New iPhone Photos #2 – New Software
BRYCE CANYON NATIONAL PARK, UTAH So most of the images in the interval between the last iPhone photographs and these have to do with upgrades in software and in lens capability. First, my dear friend offered me some Photo JoJo lenses as a birthday present. Awesome!! Seriously, this was a great idea for enhancing what [...]
Recently Published – Intermountain Healthcare (IHC)
YOSEMITE NATIONAL PARK, CALIFORNIA I forgot about this featured image and the recent publication for the corporate magazine from Intermountain Healthcare (IHC). I have enjoyed working for both companies in the past, on a variety of levels, actually, at IHC.
Storytelling in Photography – Oahu’s North Shore
NORTH SHORE, OAHU, HAWAII We used to make runs up to the North Shore whenever we used to have time. Sometimes we would arrive late or the swells from earlier in the day would have died down. On this occasion, nothing was happening, so we wandered down to the 30-foot Rock, so-called by the locals [...]
First iPhone Photos
iPHONE PHOTOGRAPHY It’s been awhile since I’ve been taking images with my iPhone usually with a Hipstamatic app, but I only recently downloaded most of them, as I was trying to consolidate them and get some to the Aurora Collection, myPhone Collection. There’s definitely an appeal for these images, especially the ones tweaked by a [...]
“Naturalist Basin, High Uintas”
HIGH UINTAS, UTAH After a nice backpack into the Naturalist Basin, my friend and I felt like the best views would be from the ridge above the basin. We underestimated the distance and steepness of the slope that led up to the ridge…and we underestimated the temperature drop as well. The views, however, were awesome. [...]
“Kilauea Volcano at Night” Big Island, Hawaii
VOLCANO NATIONAL PARK, BIG ISLAND, HAWAII For several nights in a row, I revisited Volcano National Park on the Big Island of Hawaii looking for the shots that I always thought I would get: spewing lava, rivers of molten gold, fantastic pictures. The reality is that Volcano National Park is mostly cool on the surface [...]
