When I reinvented my blog and website one goal I had was to avoid talking about my photography gear. I think that gear talk may distract from my real goal of creating amazing and creative photographs. Too often photographers get bogged down talking about the latest cameras, lenses, and lights. I have plenty of gear lust for sure.
However, I haven’t been blogging as much as I should be. I take hundreds of photographs a month but at times I am lucky if I blog once a month. It is a continuing goal to blog and share via social media more often… so now, as long as it features photographs I might talk a little about gear.
BTW, if you want to see regular photographs check out my Instagram. It is a mix of iPhone photos and photographs from my big cameras as well. It is a mix of personal, professional, and sometimes just off the wall stuff I find interesting. And there are a bunch of photos of my nephews and nieces.
So here are a random collection of photos from my newest camera… the Fuji X-T1. This is as close to street photography as I will get. And it is my chance to practice natural light photography. Usually I am using speedlights and strobes to light my subjects.

And the Fuji X-T1 is the camera I carry with me every day I don’t have an assignment. It is small and lightweight but takes pretty good photographs. It is unassuming and I don’t look like a pro when I carry it around.

And I have started using the camera at some events and even at a wedding! I’ll be sharing that wedding in a few weeks hopefully. The camera creates photographs that appear more like classic film photographs and that is the charm of the camera.

Last photo… I don’t think this guy’s name is Jesus but the beard and the hair just give him that appearance. This is how Jesus would look if he were a hipster today. It could happen.
