The sony switch… As most of you know I’m a long time canon shooter that made the mirrorless switch to fuji last year. The majority of my photography business is based around shooting architecture with a UWA zoom. My switch to fuji happened as soon as their 10-24mm was available (as well as their XT1 […]

The SSD on my iMac crashed a few weeks ago now. The iMac originally came with a 256gb SSD and a 1TB internal HD for storage as well. This post is NOT about “adding” an SSD to a machine without one. This post IS about replacing your SSD if it goes bad… There are […]

Four two three four… What’s that? That’s how much vertical I was able to ski in one run Saturday. It’s also my personal record for single longest run ever for me, including when I lived out west. I was able to get up north for one last weekend of skiing with David Simms and David […]

Welcome to the second part of my fuji X-T1 camera review. This post will focus primarily on how the X-T1 performs while shooting weddings. Part I of the review (which focuses on landscape photography) is here. I broke the review up into two sections because the two genres are quite different and I figured it’d be […]

This post is a bit overdue and because of that it’s probably going to be a bit long… In case you haven’t noticed I’ve been in the process of switching my entire kit over from a canon full frame kit to a fuji APS-C (“crop”) kit. This has roots that go back about 5 years […]

I finally jumped into (the deep end of?) the pool… I bought a “drone”. I’ve been wanting to get into aerial photography for a long long time now. I’ve seen the drones available for a while now and I’ve watched them mature into a product that takes images that are sell-able but also into […]

Made it up to Mount Washington/Tuckerman’s Ravine/Hillmans highway last week. We set out to possibly go all the way to the top with plans to ski the ravine on the way back down. Avalanche conditions were considerable (3 out of 5) with wind load on frozen slush with zero visibility up high so we went […]

What’s to say about the retro 7? Well, first make sure you’ve read and watched my retro 10 and retro 5 reviews! Why? Well because the retro 7 is basically a retro 10 with 1~2″ of the space from the camera compartment taken to make space for a padded iPad/macbook Air compartment. Yes you can […]

I recently did a sailboat delivery from Myrtle Beach SC to the Bahamas. I’ve been wanting a pelican case for my gear around the house for a while now (to keep kids/dust/dirt out of it) and I figured this trip was the perfect excuse to finally bite the bullet and order the 1514 (the version […]

Alright, so I got my XE2 friday night and have shot with it all weekend. I also got my 23mm 1.4 at the same time so a large portion of my “dream” small camera system (I prefer EVIL, thankyouverymuch) has now arrived. Once the 10-24 and 56mm arrive I’ll be all set. Anyway, here’s a […]

Went to Wachusett with Elias last weekend. Had a great time and Elias no longer uses an “edgy wedgie”. We skied almost all day (9-4pm). This past weekend we had easter at the house and celebrated my birthday as well as Isabella’s Sunday. It was a great time.
