Lens Hacking – the easy way
I became interested in photography when I was going through High School. I spent the first two years working in the schools darkroom (read: storage closet that also held a photographic enlarger). I also spent those first two years borrowing a Pentax K100o. Shortly before graduation, my Grandfather gave me an older Revuflex T SLR […]
Stargazing – Photographing the night sky
Last week, We had a storm move through and it reduced the humidity in the air, and cleared all the clouds away. Perfect time to get out at night and photograph the night sky. I met up with a friend, and we ran out to shoot. We picked a location with a view of the […]
In the Drink
I was out at Dry Run Creek yesterday. Since we had nice overcast skies, I thought I would shoot a few moving water images. I planned to shoot 4×5 large format film. My 4×5 camera is very large, and excessively heavy. After setting up the first shot, I moved the tripod a little, and the […]

Over looking the White River – night and day
This might be one of my favorite views in this Area. Two shots of the same place, one at night and one during the day.
Activity around the Eagles nest in Mountain Home, Arkansas
I got out of work a little early on Friday, so I used the opportunity to get out and shoot some eagles. There was quite a bit of activity at the nest over the next couple of days. This has been a pretty unique set of circumstance for me; I have had the privilege to […]
The Analog Camera
Digital capture has completely changed photography. The digital won, it is cheaper, quicker, and easier to work with, more accessible to everyone. There are almost no downsides when compared to traditional wet chemistry. For me however, there still is value to be gained from taking a craft and reducing it to the very […]
