The most rewarding city to do street photography in is Los Angeles. Why? Because people are more spread out, but there’s still opportunity to capture interesting things anytime you go out. It’s just hard enough to get a good photo but not so hard you’ll go weeks without a good one. When you get aContinue reading “The Most Rewarding City”

Street photography is about…
understanding fellow humans in a candid way and documenting the world around me. This is the best I could come up with. It will probably change tomorrow.
Makes You Think
Eventually, you’ll piss someone off if you do street photography. Do these negative interactions make you question why you partake is this weird hobby?
Crazy Day
Yesterday I wrote about Los Angeles probably being the most strange place in the USA. Not long after I wrote about this, I took my daily photo walk and lived it once again. I was going to try a little something different so I figured I’d do a short VLOG. It would be my veryContinue reading “Crazy Day”
IQ Is Useless If..
your photo isn’t interesting. Who cares about IQ if you have a generic and boring photo. But why not have better IQ if and when you do take a cool photo.
Full Frame Crushes Crop Sensors
It’s not even close. If you like zooming in a bit, you’ll see a huge difference in detail. I mean there’s more to a photo than the specs, but if you care about IQ then I’d go with full frame. I used to shoot a Nikon D700. It’s full frame with a 12 megapixel sensorContinue reading “Full Frame Crushes Crop Sensors”
Not Giving A Shi*
About your photography. It doesn’t have to be so deep. Too many rules. Just take photos of things you’re interested in. The validation falls empty. Take photos of things you’re not supposed to. You don’t have to share them if you’re unsure of the consequences in today’s cancel culture.
Size and Weight Matters
Which is why I’ll probably buy an M11P whenever that comes out. My current setup is the M10P and 28mm Elmarit-M. It comes out at about 833 grams. It’s a tiny setup, not much larger than an x100v. But substantially heavier, almost doubling the weight. The M11P is 530 grams as opposed to the M10PContinue reading “Size and Weight Matters”
Los Angeles is Odd
I’m fairly certain LA is the strangest place in the US, maybe on Earth. I’ve been to pretty much every major city in the US, so I’m comfortable saying this. The massive discrepancy between the rich and poor and then you have everyone else somewhere in the middle fighting for relevancy. Every culture with it’sContinue reading “Los Angeles is Odd”
On Complaining
I try not to complain often. Especially about things I can control, which is basically everything in my life. So what’s the point of complaining? More action, less talk. Except for the weather, I’ll never stop complaining about bad weather.
