Found this old sign and thought it was pretty cool. Surely it’s been photographed already? Probably by a guy in a fedora and with some Portra. This was on old Route 66 next to I-40 about 30 miles east of Barstow. Our first time on this part of the old route and it was aContinue reading “Old Cafe & Motel Sign On Route 66”

2024 Is The Future
I was watching Paulie B’s interview with Brian Karlsson and forgot about him since my departure from Instagram. We probably have a similar style. We both like photographing trash. I took this photo today. A summary of the future of our planet on one newspaper clip. Is this the start of a dystopian future? AreContinue reading “2024 Is The Future”

It’sContinue reading “Strike Photography (Street Photography From A Bike)”
In Praise Of Deep Tone Monochrome
Since buying the Nikon ZF, I’ve had a change in workflow. Before with the Ricoh and Olympus, I would only shoot JPEG. With the Nikon, I’ve converted back to shooting Raw since I’d really like to get the most out of it. I’ve been toying around with a lot of profiles. The Nikon has a total of seven blackContinue reading “In Praise Of Deep Tone Monochrome”
Is Los Angeles The Most Underrated City For Street Photography?
LA usually isn’t the conversation for best street photography cities. The lack of robust public transportation and heavy dependence on cars being the main reason I hear. Reducing foot traffic on the streets limiting the opportunities we have to capture interesting moments. While this is certainly true, when LA hits, it hits hard. And better yet, you canContinue reading “Is Los Angeles The Most Underrated City For Street Photography?”
