This photography project examines the interconnected forces of consumerism, economic decline, and cultural erosion in post-industrial and rural America, using the visual medium to trace the transformation of local identity under the weight of big-box retail capitalism. Anchored around the...

Clifton Mill, Clifton Ohio One of the largest mills in the US that's still in operation. Restaurant & General Store This place is about an hour drive, and I've never been there during the summer. You can see all the Christmas lights still strung up. This place is a major attraction during the...

I've been shooting with a Zfc for the last few years after dabbling in the Fuji ecosystem for awhile. There's just something about scaling down, taking your time with manual focus, and the retro form factor that scratches an itch for me. Last week, I upgraded to the Zf. Found this gem of a...

I recently picked up the Yongnuo 85mm f/1.8 after getting caught up in the YouTube hype about this lens. It's an 85mm prime with AF - for about $350. It has top DxO scores for sharpness, even at max aperture, beating out lenses that cost double or more. Stats and lab comparisons don't usually...

Tomorrow morning I'm going to Raptor, Inc. - a bird preserve in Cincinnati, OH. They have a deal with the local photo club to let small groups come in and photograph the birds once in awhile. $22 fee through the club for the shoot, most is donated to the preserve. No idea what birds will be...

I'm looking for a portable battery charging solution, and this looks like it may fit the bill. If nothing else, it's only $10. No harm, no foul if it turns out to be a piece of junk. Just curious if anyone else has used one of these (or another brand) and what your experiences were.

I am strongly considering a road trip to Ferguson, MO after the Thanksgiving holiday. Just curious if anyone else would want to possibly meet up there? No, not to protest or anti-protest. I want to photograph. Yes, I am serious. I shouldn't have to tell you the physical danger you'd be putting...

Sacha Goldberger - Super Flemish You may have seen this floating around the internet today. It's buzzworthy and viral because of the quirkiness, but as photographers, I think we can appreciate a bit more. The lighting in these is phenomenal.

LOL! He challenges "3 photographers...plus one". Guess who the plus one is:

I am starting a new venture, with a website that focuses on digital street photography. This project has been in the planning stages for months, and I am at a point where I want to begin looking for contributing authors. The site is currently live, though still in its infancy, and I am not ready...

The past few years, I have run a $99 special for HS Seniors that runs the entire month of August. I don't do many price slashing promos, but this one has worked well for me. Last year, I even did a session giveaway for an underprivileged teen that not only made me feel good, it generated even...
