So early one Sunday morning in March I met up with a model by the name of Alana to do a test shoot on Las Cuevas Beach. It was our first time working together but there was a great energy and a great vibe from the beginning.

So as you may know I owned the Tamron SP 70-200mm f/2.8 Di VC USD lens for almost a year. I bought it because it seemed to have all the right specifications. Things like image stabilization, constant f2.8 aperture, weather sealing, even a tripod collar ant it was about half the price of the Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS II USM. Initially I was so obsessed with bokeh and shooting at 200mm wide open that I supposed I ignored or downplayed some of the issues that the lens had. I even wrote a mostly glowing review about it which you can read here. After a while though it became too much to deal with and I had to part ways with it. Read More

When I took these pictures back in November of 2016 they were delivered to the client in full color.

I have been experimenting with off camera flash for a while and I figure I got the hang of it. I got a few light stands, a few back drops and some support systems, all the makings of an amateur studio. Well everything except a permanent studio space. I usually go where the action is for want of a better word. However, Read More

So photography has been a hobby of mine for over 10 years. Over that time i had amassed at least 700 gigabytes of JPEGs, CR2raw files, MPEG files and MOV files not to mention the associated Lightroom catalog and backups of the catalog. Depending on who you are that may seem like a lot or it could seem like a drop in the bucket. The real issue is that it was that it was irreplaceable. Read More
