Being from Cincinnati, sports mediocrity has been the norm for most of my life until recently. I don’t think the Bengals won a playoff game in over 20 years until Joe Burrow came along. The Reds have been irrelevant for just as long. Still though, with all the struggles, Cincy fans are still passionate andContinue reading “Spoiled Sports Fans”

Battle of the GRs
I’ve had a lot of GRs. Mainly because they are fragile and I return them if they show any lag with the lens motor. I was playing around earlier with my Ricoh GRIII and the GRDIV.

It’s fun to see something you relate to like the milk cartonsContinue reading “Kindergarten Cop”

I don’t want the viewer to see the subjects reaction to me. I’m not at the center. Bruising the scene as a popular phrase in street photography. Trying to get candid scenes untouched.
