Strike Photography. Cheesy name but at least it’s catchy. Kind of sounds like aggressive street photography Bruce Gilden style. I’ve been doing this for the past four years now. Los Angeles is paradise for it as we can legally ride on the sidewalks. Since I live on the beach, there are numerous boardwalks that share space with bikes and people. 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.

And better yet, you canContinue reading “Is Los Angeles The Most Underrated City For Street Photography?”

Done With Daily Street Photography Blogs
I think it’s ran its course. Still obsessively shooting but no longer posting a blog everyday.

Desert Photography
From the ocean to mountains to the desert in only two hours. It’s my reality and how lucky am I. The desert might be my favorite out of the three landscapes. Photographing remnants of the past sprinkled in with desert landscapes is hard to beat.
What’s The Best Street Photography Camera?
I think it’s whatever camera inspires and allows us to make as many photos as possible.
Road To 100,000 Keepers
4,000 and counting. I’m taking the highway instead of the dirt road. The highway for me is black and white photography where I can shoot in any light. More is better for me. The dirt road is color. Whenever I dabble in color, I quickly realize that the light is more important to me for a pleasing looking photo.
What Can I Control?
It’s easy to get discouraged in street photography. I find it useful to focus on the things I can control. Mainly how hard I work. I’ve taken photos nearly everyday for four years and I feel like I’m just getting started. It would be a great honor to be remembered as one of the most prolific street photographers inContinue reading “What Can I Control?”
