Storytelling Vision
2024-04-14 20:22:10 UTC
When I see through the eyes of my stunning Lens, The XF 10-24mm F4 l, my neighbourhood takes on an expansive vision. The Wide Angles does that. It forces me to see the whole world through a deep and wide narrative. This way of seeing and documenting is about telling…

New Vision 2024
2024-01-23 22:07:08 UTC
A new fresh way of seeing and creating images is my goal for 2024. I am a documentary image creator so this means seeing the story unfold, paying attention to what is happening right in front of me. Questions: What is the narrative of life right now? Vision equals story.…

Late Night Vision
2023-09-20 23:47:23 UTC
As the light levels begins to drop, the remaining light becomes precious. Daylight gives way to the man made. The vision at night becomes a quest to find the light source. Focus & Clarity is everything, or is it? Seeing the light is the magic. No matter the time of…

Loving the 40mm field of view as I do, I went looking and researching to find an option for my Nikon D700. Imagine my surprise; this is the one focal length not available from Nikon D or G versions. Canon make a full frame 40mm Lens - pancake style which…

Refined Vision | A Natural Expression
2023-09-04 17:26:18 UTC
40mm Photography has a very natural expression and rendering. I noticed today how little I had to interact with the scene in front of me to get the composition I wanted. An effortless rendering means the tools get out of the way; creating images becomes a fluid relationship between my…

RV | A Disciplined Approach
2023-08-31 21:25:12 UTC
Refined Vision has become my new focus and discipline. Using the 50 mm Lens lately has gotten me into a new way of seeing and framing. The 50mm Frame requires space - I call it a contact sport with the subject. Moving and navigating a scene for the best composition. …

50mm | Refined Vision
2023-08-09 22:57:30 UTC
“I think the 50mm lens is an extremely good discipline lens; it requires you to see in a more refined way, not just tighter.” Albert Allard This qoute has really captured my attention. I love the syntax and use of language to communicate an ideal and philosophy. I have been…

Immersive Vision
2023-07-25 10:37:57 UTC
Today, it’s all about the immersive view. The Wide Angle. My 10-24 is a stunning Lens which offers up a spectacular vision. This image of James above was created at 24mm which is 36mm on my X-T1; the classic 35mm Frame. This Frame is the industry standard. Let’s go W-I-D-E-R. …

My Career as a Magician is slowly coming back to full life and expression. This week, I Travel to Amsterdam for two public performances and a special Lecture for the Dutch Magicians. I am very excited. I mention this because besides packing my clothes and props, I need to carefully…

FV | The Bigger Picture
2023-01-19 14:22:42 UTC
Fresh Vision for 2023 is all about seeing the bigger picture. Allow me to share what this means to me. My Subject Matter has become Space. My Vision has become much more in tune with the space around me. The Space and the Background is now my broader and wider…

2023-01-17 14:51:20 UTC
Well now, here we go This is will be my 365 Project of fresh Vision moments for the next year starting today. There will be no narrative other than the image. My only intention is to share one image per day on this specific page; it will be a live…

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…

FV | Point of Vision
2023-01-11 20:17:27 UTC
Fresh Vision for my photography is all about evolving from a gear head into an artist. Becoming a visual artist is a slow process of self-discovery and self awareness. Know thy self. You have heard that phrase I am sure. I know one thing about myself; who I am is…

FV | Preparing for an Adventure
2023-01-05 15:33:07 UTC
Every adventure begins with preparation. My next adventure is no different. I won’t say what it is for now, I will simply share my preparation and why. Over the last few days, I have been experimenting with different focal Lengths. Yesterday, my Vision was set to 35mm. Today, I set…

FV | Detail
2023-01-03 20:38:41 UTC
Fresh Vision and Detail go hand in hand. Something catches my eye snd Shazam, my investigation begins. The image above is a case in point. “FROM NOTHING TO SOMETHING” Every creative act begins with a blank canvass. From Nothings; Let there be Light To Something; the creation of our universe…

Welcomd to Fresh Vision. This is just a context to create new and exciting images from. Fresh Vision is about seeing and feeling deeply. There is a deeper narrative I am opening myself up to. It’s all in the details that catch my eye. It’s a fearless and charismatic approach…

A Fresh Vision
2023-01-02 18:38:00 UTC
Welcome 2023. It was a quiet start to the new year for me. I experienced my self feeling very flat and jaded. I decided to stay home to see the new year in. My intuition told me to protect my energy. My neighbourhood felt energising today. I felt happy creating…

Clarity of Vision
2022-12-28 20:14:15 UTC
What’s the big deal about Bokeh, Focus, Clarity and Sharpness. The XF 35mm 1.5 is a most wonderful Lens. I had fun creating this image at 1.4. I was really taken by the out of focus rendering. In fact, it triggered this post.Some of my favourite Len’s in The Fuji…

Training My Vision
2022-10-27 13:22:14 UTC
Learning the vision of a Wide Angle Lens has become a very important part of my Photographic development. Zoom Lens and Telephoto optics are great when required; subject matter dictates their best expression. The Wide Angle is a beautiful expressive Lens for telling stories. I have documented many times how…

Daily Vibe | Seeing Opportunities
2022-09-28 10:38:11 UTC
Having my Camera with me at all times means I am ready. Moments are out there. It’s easier to create an image with my Camera than without out. I use my iPhone yes, but its a different vibe using my everyday Camera, the X-Pro 1. This Camera is slow. I…

Developing Skills
2022-07-21 20:48:29 UTC
If I were to Travel the world with one Camera and a 50mm Lens, I am confident I would create some visually interesting images. Being a Prime standard focal length, the 50mm is not normally used as a Landscape or Environmental optics. That’s why we have a Wide Angle. The…

Daily Vision | Sunny 16
2022-07-08 12:09:12 UTC
I don’t think I will ever experience boredom with my photography. There is far too much to learn and process. Being a Professional Magician is no different. Every show reveals to me aspects of my ignorance and gaps in my database of knowledge. I have been practicing The Sunny 16…

Daily Vision
2022-07-07 12:02:24 UTC
At the bare minimum, I must create one image per day. My mentor Bryan Peterson is always saying, “you keep shooting”. This means keep practicing; don’t let a moment to create an image pass you by. For me, this has become wired into my nervous system. I don’t leave home…

Deep Vision | Layers
2022-06-11 13:25:05 UTC
With such a wide field of view, my scene will take in a lot of information. This creates an epic visual narrative. For me, using the XF16mm means asking a very important question; what is the context? With these three images, the Context is Road Works in my neighbourhood. This…
