In spite of the fact that I have made no attempt to conceal or disguise the fact that I occasionally shoot photographs digitally, when you arrive at a site with a name like “Filmosaur” you might be forgiven for thinking it would be about, you know, film.

Mostly it was just pointing the camera at something that momentarily caught my attention and taking the shot. Unsurprisingly, I found myself gravitating toward my least demanding … More It’s better to be lucky than good ..read more

This being a blog generally about my photography, and my photography being done entirely outside of a studio setting, resuming posting here a year or so ago was especially ill-timed, even for me. Regardless, while I have not been posting here for a bit, I have been thinking about photography, and even managed to take … More Timing is Everything ..read more
