Frozen Photos // POTD 07.02.22

Some photos shot on the coldest day of the year so far. I’ll always make a point to get down to the beach when it’s freezing cold out. It’s worth it for these awesome ice formations.

Switching to team FUJIFILM??? // POTD 26.06.21

Something unexpected has happened to me! I’ve purchased a Fujifilm Camera. No knock on Fujifilm, but I never saw myself switching camera brands. I’ve got a well rounded Canon kit. Canon has been nothing but reliable, so I figured why in the heck would I ever change systems?

My biggest gripe with my current kit is that the body and lenses are BIG, even with the mirrorless bodies. This is totally fine by me. I shoot a ton of video so I’m used to hauling cameras, lenses, tripods, lights, C stands, sand bags, etc with me everywhere. But for everyday carry I often wouldn’t feel like bringing a hulking DSLR and lens out with me on the streets or to a hang out with a friend just was not practical. Obviously the solution would be a smaller camera. I had been enjoying shooting with the 35mm Olympus Infinity, but developing film is a pain in the butt and with film being so expensive I would be pretty precious about what it was I was shooting. A FujiFilm rep must have sensed that I had camera needs that weren’t being met. One contacted me and offered up a few cameras for me to try. I got him to send the X100v my way.

As soon as I got my hands on the X100V I fell in love. Beyond the size requirements this camera filled so many other needs I didn’t even know I had. The film simulations, creating “recipes” in camera, the aesthetics, just everything felt so right. This camera made me feel excited and inspired. I have added this camera to my everyday carry bag. My hope with this camera is to shoot and document my daily life. This is something that I haven’t been doing as consistent as I would like. When you are shooting for work everyday it’s so easy to leave your camera at home during your off-time. For me, this is the camera to change that.

The images below are JPGs straight out of camera—no editing! I’m looking forward to sharing more images from the X100V.

Respiratory Therapy Week Photos

Respiratory Therapists are some of the unsung heroes of the hospital, especially during the pandemic. Respiratory therapists are an essential component in the battle against COVID-19. For Respiratory Therapy Week I shot a some portraits with the RT team at Trillium Health Partners.

Scrolling through some old photos on my computer and I came across this shot of Kensington Market from a few years back. I probably meant to share it at some point but just forgot about it. Anyways, here it is! Hope you dig it.
