Morocco has been on my travel wish list for a few years now. I would always see pictures with the bright colors and I felt like it had such a distinct culture. I finally made it to Marrakesh and it was an awesome trip. I only went for a few days but the town was absolutely amazing for street photography. I stayed in a nice riad within walking distance to the souk (a bazaar where […]

2016 Just Died, 2017 is Alive!
As 2016 ends and 2017 begins I wanted to take some time to reflect on how much progression I made this past year. 2016 was the year I became serious about photography and decided to take my passion for taking pictures from hobbyist to professional. I learned a lot this year. I read a lot of books, learned the exposure triangle and started shooting in manual. I practiced a lot and I can see my […]
Read MoreSweden: Aurora Hunting in the Arctic Circle
It has been my dream to capture the Aurora (Northern Lights) ever since I saw photos of it. This trip to Kiruna, Sweden fulfilled that dream. The 1st night of the trip Matt goes outside to smoke and comes back and says hey you all need to come check out this Aurora. Well since he is Matt and is the greatest troll I know we don’t believe him. He states no I am serious and […]
Read MoreThe Most Wonderful Time of the Year (My New Toy)
I am treating myself to a new toy for Christmas. I just picked up a Nikon D750, my first full frame camera and it is awesome. I was torn between the D810 and the D750. Both have its positives but I ended up deciding on the D750. In my opinion it is the better overall camera and its cheaper. The D810 seemed to be better for studio work and landscape photography which both appeal […]
Read MorePanoramic Shot
Have you ever saw a wide beautiful landscape and wanted to capture this beauty with one photo? The answer to this is to take a panoramic shot because otherwise everything cannot fit into the frame. On the Iphone you are able to create this by rotating with the phone while taking a picture. If you are not using your Iphone you will have to stitch the images together. I am going to create a panoramic […]

Read MoreComic Con London 2016
For anyone that knows me I have always been into comics and science fiction movies. Few of you have know that I had aspirations of creating my own comics and video games. Once in middle school I actually did create some characters and my 1st Comic Con and the hero’s name was Cop Lemonhead. You can use your imagination to come up with what this character may have looked like. Well I haven’t realized my […]
Read MoreDragon Con 2016
Dragon Con was definitely a once in a lifetime experience if you like cosplay or science fiction characters in general. It takes place over Labor Day Weekend and is one of the largest science fiction conventions in the United States. The event is so big that it spans 5 hotels in downtown Atlanta. I was blown away by the detail of many of the costumes that many created. You could tell that it was a […]

All Lives Matter: Restrictions Apply
My mind takes me to the X-Men. Are we seen as mutants? Why can’t we be treated equally? We have to understand that yes some cops are bad, not all blacks are criminals, all whites are not racists, all Mexicans are not illegal and all Muslims are not terrorists. Until you truly understand this and stop judging people before getting to know them things won’t change. I understand most of you may not have friends […]
Read MoreTesting the Elements
This is some dummy copy. You’re not really supposed to read this dummy copy, it is just a place holder for people who need some type to visualize what the actual copy might look like if it were real content. If you want to read, I might suggest a good book, perhaps Hemingway or Melville. That’s why they call it, the dummy copy. This, of course, is not the real copy for this entry. Rest […]
