My new workflow has yielded an insane amount of keepers. Small high contrast b/w JPEGs only. Minimal post processing and quick editing. I haven’t shot a raw photo in six months. Go beyond “the moment” and photograph whatever inspires you. If it’s a piece of trash, take a photo. Get off Instagram. It has too much influence on us. Seeking validationContinue reading “3319 Keepers Since July 1st, 2023”

Sepia Stage Is Over
The time has passed. The workflow isn’t ideal as sepia photos on the Olympus are much different than on the Ricoh so matching them in post is too time consuming. Back to the basics.

I’m not sure how much I like it. But going to continue shooting with the filter. At least until I have 500 keepers. After that, maybe try with another color filter.
Small JPEGs and Crop Modes
If you can wrap your head around using the small JPEG size on your GR, you’ll use crop modes more. Your photos will all have the same amount of pixels. 7.5MP or 3360 × 2240 pixels. It’s a liberating approach once you’ve accepted shooting in a smaller size. Now you can freely shoot in cropContinue reading “Small JPEGs and Crop Modes”
Fast Workflow
Import JPEGs, make quick selections and I’m done. What’s used to take me hours to do now takes me five minutes.
I Haven’t Shot One Raw Photo In Two Months
Game changer. I’m making my best photos since doing this.
