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.

You know what’s better…
than taking a good (whatever that is) street photo? Putting your feet in the sand and knocking out 100 pull ups. Street photography is like going on a hike to Mars. You’ll never get there. You’ll never get good at it, therefore never feel accomplished. It’s kind of the appeal. But you’ll always feel accomplishedContinue reading “You know what’s better…”
The More I Shoot
The more I appreciate imperfection and mood. While I think moment is still important, I think a blurry or technically bad photo can still work as long as it has nice colors or light and shadow in black and white. Not every photo needs a story and the “correct” composition.
Home Is Where The Heart Is
I submitted a photo series to the Street Photographers Foundation on March 31st, the deadline. I made the series the day before, in my hometown of Cincinnati Ohio at the Reds Opening Day Parade. I was chosen as a finalist in the competition. I’m still unfulfilled in my photography. What is fulfilling is that IContinue reading “Home Is Where The Heart Is”
