Photography, technology, marketing, and life
Off to a slow start on this 52 Portraits project, but a weekend of ice fishing provided a great opportunity. I couldn’t feel my fingers, the shot isn’t well focused, and I didn’t have my A7R III handy, but it…
It’s that time of year again. Breaking down a few stats from my Lightroom library to see what’s what. I already know I took fewer photos this year–it’s been a weird year for me photographically speaking. This is something I…
