  1. Taking The Long View

    2023-04-10 19:44:14 UTC

    The debate between a Primed Fixed Focal Length will rage on forever. I can understand why because Primes are simply fantastic, the image quality is impeccable and frankly this is the point. The end goal is the final image. I find it really interesting to read reviews of a Lens…


  2. FV | The Deeper Narrative

    2023-01-30 17:12:07 UTC

    Every moment within the Frame carries a deeper narrative; this narrative communicates something much more than the surface level image.Every image is an invitation to look and feel deeper into this narrative called Life. I have been using my XF90mm all day today during my domestic duties. My brain automatically…


  3. FV | Seeing Deeper

    2023-01-29 20:44:54 UTC

    Seeing long is part of my natural vision. 70mm to 85mm is my normal range. The XF90mm pulls my vision in even closer with amazing optical magic - the compression of space. If you look at at the image above, the two blocks of apartment look very close together. Would…


  4. FV | Keeping My Distance

    2023-01-29 11:27:19 UTC

    This week, I am keeping my distance. For a change of pace, I am switching to using my XF90mm. This Lens is fantastic. It’s field of view is narrow and equal to 135mm on a Full Frame Camera. This makes it perfect for Portraits. As an optics for documenting life,…


  5. FV | Deep Vision

    2023-01-13 15:01:58 UTC

    The 50mm is the standard Lens. This point of distinction has been the accepted norm for decades. I have written about my love for The Classic Frame of 35mm, so it surprises me that the 50mm get’s top billing as an industry standard optics. The is no question this Lens…


  6. The Long View

    2022-06-30 17:35:59 UTC

    I don’t normally walk the Street with my 70-20mm. The F4 version is really beautiful, light and equally spectacular as the F2.8. Its a perfect Street Lens. I love this Lens; it is currently attached to my D700 and together, they make a formidable partnership. My Cousin is in London…


  7. 2020 Vision | Visual Vocabulary

    2020-09-22 14:38:50 UTC

    My friend and coach Bryan Peterson taught me a valuable lesson; he said, “learn the visual vocabulary of any Lens you use”. Simply put, this means learn how any given Lens “sees”. I make a point of doing week long, sometimes a month of shooting with one Prime Lens. I…


  8. 2020 Vision | Loving What I Have

    2020-09-10 21:00:15 UTC

    My Camera and Lens collection is quite a museum. I love Fuji pure and simple. I shoot Nikon still for one reason, Telephoto. My longest XF Lens is the beautiful XF55-200mm. That Lens allowed me to capture and create the images of the little fella above. I love my 70-200mm…
