Yesterday I spent my first 4th of July in Miami, so naturally I had to go to the beach to check out the fireworks. I could have gone somewhere for a more sweeping view of the various displays up and down the coasts of South Florida, but instead I opted to get a few blocks away from the main … Continue reading
It’s been well over three months since the last one of these. Here are some of my favorite shots from that time that never made it to any other posts here. They were captured in various parts of the southern US and Jamaica. All of them were taken with my X-Pro1 and processed differently in … Continue reading
I was pleasantly surprised the other day to find out that VSCO released the fifth installment of its film emulation software. They called it “The Archetype Films Collection” describing what’s inside as “mass market consumer film emulations, from the golden era of analog.” If you’ve visited my blog before, you’ve probably seen one of these … Continue reading
As I was wrapping up my recent trip to Jamaica (pictures soon), I told my friends that I was actually looking forward to going home. Never before have I been in the Caribbean and actually wanted to go home… but then again, this was my first (personal) trip to the region, since I moved to … Continue reading
It’s been a while since I posted any pictures taken with my Canon 5D Mark III. Indeed, it’s been a while since I’ve used it at all. That’s not good (although it does say a lot about how much I like my Fuji kit). I moved to Florida in July, but so far I only … Continue reading
Here are some of my favorite shots from the past few weeks that haven’t made it into any other posts. All of them were captured on my Fuji X-Pro1, from Alabama to California and the Caribbean. Enjoy. Continue reading
One of the best things about living in Miami is that while most of my friends on the east coast are pulling out their sweaters and coats, I can still go the beach for a swim. The truth is that time is soon coming to an end for a few months (at least the swimming … Continue reading
I could barely contain my excitement this morning. It’s not everyday that one heads so eagerly into the office… but knowing something special was coming in the mail for me made it that much sweeter. Ever since buying my X-Pro1, I’ve been looking forward to Fuji releasing its 35mm lens equivalent. So I ordered the 23mm … Continue reading
Reality is starting to settle in – it’s a good thing. I just came home to Lebanon yesterday… but that’s not the home I’m writing about. My new home is in Miami, and it didn’t really hit me until I came back there a few days ago from a short assignment in New Orleans. It … Continue reading
It’s been one month since my last post… The biggest reason for that: I’ve been busy closing one long chapter in my life and opening another. After spending well over 20 years in Washington DC, I finally moved out… to Miami. Sometime soon, I’ll be writing on what I do and don’t miss about the DMV. … Continue reading
A couple months ago, I made an unnecessary purchase. I wanted a mid-size camera to keep in my work bag and take with me everywhere. The 5D is obviously too big, and the X-Pro1 doesn’t work either (I’m too protective). Because I already own a small point and shoot, there was no pressing reason for me … Continue reading
A few weeks ago I took a trip to Great Falls Park (Virginia side). I went with my Fuji X-Pro1, my two lenses, an infrared filter, and my trusty tripod. I’m sharing some of my favorite infrared and HDR shots from that day. Considering how short a drive it is from my home, it’s a … Continue reading
