OK, so I’ve obviously been slipping a little bit. I was planning on posting this last week, but I was a little bit preoccupied with other things. I haven’t been taking as many pictures as I’d like recently. Hopefully that will change as I turn to another chapter in my life. These are some of favorite pictures … Continue reading

Shooting from the hip
I haven’t taken the 14mm off my X-Pro1 for a few weeks now. It’s a nice lens and I’d like to think that I’ve been getting some pretty nice shots with it… but I want to get some even nicer ones. Unfortunately, I haven’t been in my best state of mind lately. To make matters … Continue reading
Random shots #7
It’s been two weeks since my last ‘random’ post, and although I haven’t been taking as many pictures as I’d like recently, I still wanted to share some of my favorite shots from the past couple weeks. Even if they’re nothing spectacular, I like each one of them for different reasons. They were all taken … Continue reading
Thoughts on my Fuji 14mm
I’ve had my X-Pro1 for about five months now, and I’d like to think I’ve put it to good use. Up until recently, all I had was the 35mm lens, which I’m very fond of. I’ve been wanting a wider lens for a while, but I was torn between Fuji’s 18mm and the 14mm. The … Continue reading
Some infrared fun
The other day I took a walk in the park and decided to fire off some infrared shots. There was nothing particular in mind, and the setting was not ideal. Still, I wanted to see how the shots would turn out and what I could do to them. My setup is very basic: Fuji X-Pro1, … Continue reading
Simple pleasures
I miss having a washer and dryer inside my apartment… After procrastinating for a few days, I went down to the laundry room a little while ago with a basket full of dirty clothes. There was someone already in the room, and he tried opening the door for me, even though it was already open. But … Continue reading
Random shots #6
Not that any of you noticed, but I missed a week. Up until now, I had been maintaining a good bi-weekly rhythm with these posts. Every now and then I tend to skip a beat. Don’t hold it against me. These are some of my favorite shots from the past three weeks that haven’t made it into any other … Continue reading
Riding the Metro
That’s what we call the subway in DC. It’s usually very crowded and often not working in certain places… but overall it’s not too bad (if there’s a stop near you). Maybe if I used it more often, I’d be singing a different tune. A few weeks ago, I went to run an errand near … Continue reading
Twisted…
As I was walking home from the bar this weekend, I pulled my little camera out of my cargo pants and started shooting from the hip. It didn’t help that I was drunk… or maybe it did! You be the judge. Continue reading
Random shots #5
These are some of my favorite shots from the past couple weeks that never made it into any of my other posts. All of them were shot with my Fuji X-Pro1 and 35mm lens before minimal processing in Lightroom. I just ordered the 14mm and look forward to putting it to use! Maybe the next … Continue reading

Cherry blossoms – part 3 of 4 (infrared)
My last two posts featured ‘traditional’ photography. That’s not necessarily true for this one. If you’re not someone who frequents my blog, you might not know that I recently started experimenting with infrared photography. So needless to say, I had to bust out my Hoya filter on the last leg of Monday’s shoot. I should have taken … Continue reading
