I’m always inspired by unique and creative photography, so when I saw a photo shoot based on a couple of characters from the movie Star Wars: The Force Awakens, it really got my creative side’s attention. I could go into detail on it in this post, but I think it’s better if you just check […]

It’s been nice to have some rain over this last weekend. I thought that either Saturday evening or this evening would provide some nice clouds over the ocean for a great sunset shot. Well, I was in one of my “Should I stay or should I go?” kind of moods this afternoon. I waited until […]

The Annenberg Space for Photography is currently closed while it prepares for it’s next exhibit, which will open on April 23rd. The exhibit will be called “Refugee”. This should be an interesting exhibit due to all the refugee problems across the world. The Skylight Studio across the complex will also show a new exhibit called […]

I consider myself a photographer. With that in mind, I try to do as much work as possible in camera so I can avoid spending a lengthy amount of time in front of the computer. I really feel that when someone takes a picture and puts it into Camera Raw (the photo processing engine in […]

I recently bought a new lens for my camera and went to the Santa Barbara Zoo yesterday to test it out. I have to say I love the results this lens created! The lens is the equivalent of 600mm on a 35mm camera (I use a micro 4/3rds mirrorless camera). In other words, the lens […]

I’ve been pretty busy this weekend with life’s little tasks, but wanted to do a quick post here. On February 18th, the winner of the World Press Photo Competition was announced. Congratulations to Warren Richardson for winning with your great photo. For those of you who would like to see Warren’s photo and the other […]

I recently received my monthly copy of Outdoor Photographer in the mail and as always have enjoyed the articles in it. There is one article in the magazine that I feel every photographer can benefit from. The article is called “The Power of Visualization” and is written by a man that I took my first […]

I spent most of Saturday going to a couple of museums. The first exhibit I went to see was the latest at the Annenberg Space for Photography called “Life: A Journey Through Time.” The exhibit displays images taken by National Geographic photographer Frans Lanting and shows the evolution of life on earth, from the Big […]
