At the Wall: Berlin Photography

This was my 3rd time in Berlin and I wanted to really capture some of the best spots in Berlin.  Hopefully you will feel I did that.  The weather was horrible the entire week.  Raining everyday and even snowing.  Rain doesn’t stop my photography show.  In fact I use it to my advantage to get some nice reflections in my shots.  The train system is quite nice and you can get all over the city […]

Back to the Bush: Africa

I have been obsessed with animals in their natural habitat since I was young.  I often thought I might work with animals one day.  That never happened.  I have seen almost every National Geographic or Discovery Channel production relating to Africa.  It was a life-long dream for me to take a trip to South Africa in 2012.  It was amazing to do early morning walks when you don’t know what you will see.  Driving through […]

We Are Talking About Practice: 10,000 Hours

If you are like Allen Iverson you probably don’t want to talk about practice.  But he would not have been as good a player if not for playing in countless pick up games as a kid, in high school, in college or in the NBA.  All the hours spent playing basketball for him are practice.  Practice makes perfect.  My cousin @tonethegoat and I have always talked about perfecting your craft and how it takes 10,000 […]

Euro Cup Paris 2016

I made it to Paris for the Eurocup finals where France was playing against Portugal.  The city was buzzing as fans from both countries represented with their colors and favorite players jerseys.  This was not my 1st visit to Paris, more like my 10th, but I still visited the major sites including the Eiffel Tower, the Louvre and Notre Dame.  The game was electric and Christian Renaldo went out early and all looks bleak for […]

Unedited Photography

I know we live in an age where we can’t function without make-up or making things look more appealing to the eye.  Sometimes I just like my raw images just the way they are.  I know lot of people that will just take a picture and spend hours editing one single image.  Me, I generally won’t spend more than a few minutes editing pictures.  If you can get the settings correct while taking the picture […]

The South has Something to Say: We Ready

There will never be another place like home for me and home is Atlanta.  I have been a lifelong Falcons fan and have endured many losing seasons and have never saw my team win the Super Bowl.  In fact the only one of my teams that have won a championship is the Atlanta Braves during the 90s.  It was an unfortunate circumstance that I had to come home during Super Bowl week but I can’t […]

Age of the Selfie

We are in the age of social media where all day people take photos of themselves with a smartphone most times and shares them to their social media pages. I seem to always see people in all parts of the world taking photos of themselves.  You can see the sheer joy and happiness that most get when they are in the lens.  You see lips puckering, smiling faces, laughs, funny faces and this has inspired […]

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 […]

The 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 […]

Panoramic 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 […]
