A buddy at work asked me to do something different for an engagement shoot. I suggested he let me write a story and shoot it in an abandoned textile mill and he pitched my outline to his fiance and she agreed. So, I took a bunch of Aputure radio controls, 4 strobes, a lightweight travel...

Christilou's post made me think of posting these. In August there was an air show at the Aviation Museum of Kentucky in Lexington. Iffy weather grounded the WW-II planes that were supposed to fly, but I managed to get onboard them unescorted and without a bunch of people around and got some...

My hosting company deprecated the free blogging software I had and my blog went "Poof!" back in July. I've finally reconstructed the articles at the original URL's so any broken links will mostly work, and I'll be restoring more as time goes on. If you were looking for anything and it was...

I've been showing in restaurants, and a local concert venue chose my photography to decorate the place -- but I've never been invited to participate in a gallery show until now. It's not a major place, lol -- but it's a start. It's in Phoenixville, PA for those that are local that might want...

Whether it's offroad trucks, firearms, or photography -- I end up spending WAY WAY too much time on forums and I've pretty much been staying away. Still like you all though and just re-upped my paid subscription even though I won't be around much. Secondarily: I grow tired of gear arguments...

Did some pro bono work for a local Christian dance company as they rehearsed their new ballet "The Masked Lie" by Melody Stanert. These are a few of my favorites. All with a handheld X-E2 or X-M1 wearing at various times the 23mm f/1.4, the 35mm f/1.4, and the 55-200mm f/3.5-4.8. Fun night...

A few from another urbex trip I just did -- all with either the X-M1 and Zeiss 12mm, or the X-E2 and Fujinon 23mm: First one was done in a totally dark room using a long exposure and flashlights. Embersville: Just Projecting by Entropic Remnants, on Flickr Embersville: Cleanliness...

A shot I took at the now defunct steel mill where I used to work was licensed to use in promoting a new line of watches by Molarity Watch branded as ZakWatch. They use it for their "Industrial" line. Here's the page as it's built now. http://en.zakwatch.com/industrial/ The company...

I've expanded the story and imagery from my first foray into north Texas oil country as a contract engineer with Sunoco. However, the stories I tell are more about the area and really nothing about the work I do as I'm not to give details of pipeline operations. The new blog post is here if...

It's been awhile -- I've been extremely busy with the new job. Currently down in Texas commissioning new automation for a pumping station in the boonies of northern Texas. So: not much time for photography, just some grab shots here and there I did driving up from Houston last week, and one...

He was a young gang member from Philadelphia in the 1960's who turned out to be gifted with a movie camera. His story is both inspiring and tragic. I posted some photos from an urbex trip to North Philadelphia and a retired reporter saw them and contacted me with the story and I've told it...

Although the trip was disappointing in some ways... Basically, we intended to do a New Years day incursion on an abandoned power plant -- but a different power-that-is has welded the place up tight. Went to another power plant... got on the grounds this time, but couldn't get in... welded up...

Adorama has one open box 23mm f/1.4 in stock for $854 if anyone is interested.

Something I saw on my new ride to my new job. At first I've just had to navigate, now I'm starting to see things and I noticed this on the way in and grabbed a shot. I've been asked if that's a tree growing out of the top of it and I'll be darned if I know, lol. It makes me think of the...

Bought the lens here (thanks jloden) used to replace the Fujifilm 14mm which is excellent, but I want something a little wider. It didn't disappoint its first time out. I used it on an urbex run and here are its high and low points as I see it: It's Great Because: It focuses very, very close...

I was happy to take the opportunity to play tourguide to some fellow "older" urbex photographers from out of town. We visited one of my old haunts which all but one of them was visiting for the first time. It was pretty cold, but a nice day and nice light. We ran into another group of 2...

You know: the rat. Well I found the rat at my new place of business hanging out in his usual haunt on top of a large filing cabinet. As a result of distributing this picture in the office, somebody has placed the rat on top of the cubicle wall for my cubicle, where it stares hungrily down at...

It's 10 days until winter, but we already had about 10" of snow over the last 2 days -- for some of you that's nothing but it's unusual here. It's not unheard of, just not the norm. Anyway, it is beautiful to behold. Here's a couple of snow shots and please post yours. Fuji X-E2 and the 18mm...

I made a trip to rural southern NJ to drop some truck parts I had left from my offroading days at a buddy's farm down there. On the way home I wandered up the NJ river side coast to see what I could find. I found a couple of cool things in a small town there -- a bank I could get in and an old...

Well, I sold down my kit to get an X-E2. I would really like an X body with some better AF, but the EVF refresh improvements and the +/- 3 EV compensation are just as welcome. When I shoot in the clubs sometimes, and even some of the steel mill stuff I used to do, the slow EVF and inability to...

This may ruffle some feathers, but take off your partisan hat and take in my argument before you just reply without knowing WHY I say this. I'll keep it as simple and brief as I can. The Bottom Line Fujifilm needs to create a complete camera system in a timely manner to really grow and most...

A few from places I saw as I traveled around the area... all with the X-M1 and X-E1. First up is the Weird Little Piggies House. He built an enormous leaning tower of straw which confused the wolf and he ate 3 other piggies instead. This is how history is made... Along the Road: Weird...
