Simple Complexity
My name is Jay, and I currently live in Ohio with my wife and newborn Daughter. I have recently rekindled my love for photography, thanks to my Fujifilm X100VI. The draw to Fujifilm X series was its simplistic form factor and complex capabilities. In my research leading me to the…
Is it too late to start a blog?
Why Start a Blog in 2025?Is blogging still relevant in 2025? Has it become obsolete, overshadowed by social media? The answer is a resounding no. While blogs have been around for a long time and have certainly lost some users to social media platforms, they are far from extinct. In…
Premium/ Wide – A change of perspective
I am a big believer that 90% of the image comes from the lens, the characteristics, the rendering, the field of view, even colors and tones are directly related to the lens you choose. In my work, I find myself using a fairly standard field of view more often than…

How to edit and apply ‘sharpen’ to pictures from Fuji X-T1 in the Lightroom
I must be Lightroom user since I was born. Or since the first teeth started to appear. Or perhaps since 2007-2008. At first, the interface seemed strange, it was too complicated. But I didn’t give up at first, and in a short time I was able to use it without…
From the Olympus OM-D E-M1 II to nothing but the Fujifilm X100F
Well, well. What a journey I have been through with the camera gear over the past year or so. I went from a full equipped Fujifilm X bag to an Olympus OM-D E-M1 II too nothing else but an Fujifilm X100F. You might rightly ask yourself why did I go…
I believe I can fly – Fuji X-T2 and Motocross
We photographers often stay to long in our comfort zone. In my case this means photographing landscapes and wildlife. But leaving the comfort zone and shooting something we normally don’t often has very positive effects on our overall photographic capabilities. I went out to a motocross race the other day…

Premium/ Telephoto lenses for landscapes
Being a mostly self-taught photographer I have come across most of my ideas by simple trial and error. I usually stick with things that just feel right to me, a gut feeling. I don’t tend to look at norms or best practices as closely as perhaps I should and that…
Premium/ I am a Documentarian
But what exactly does that mean? Before I can begin to talk about my experiences as a documentarian in earnest, we really need to understand where on the photography family tree it sits. Often mistaken for journalistic photography or overshadowed by its trendy urban cousin, street photography, documentary photography rarely…

Premium/ Bokeh – Life Past F1.4
When I started photography, fast glass was something almost unobtainable. Voigtlander released a Leica M mount $1000 F1.1 “Nokton”, and that was about as entry-level as it got. For 0.95 the only affordable option was the Canon TV “Dream” lens, which was priced in the multiple of thousands. I made…

Fuji X-T family
Nocturama

The first “all Fuji” wedding
“You will probably need surgery, Fernando” the doctor said. “Damn” I though. I had high hopes on the nerve infiltration, but the results were bad. The tendinitis still hurt. And that was after 4 expensive months of treatment with kinotherapy. The doctor told me that in case of an operation…

“Why Fuji” – Form following function or what feels right…
Fuji gets so much right and, in some ways, so much better than others. Fuji cameras just “are”, and I will not move on beyond X-Pro3 because that camera and my older bodies will give me A2 or A1 prints at a push which is all I can ask for.
