“Twelve significant photographs in any one year is a good crop.” -Ansel Adams
Probably my favorite image I made this year. Atmosphere, a big city feeling, eerie isolation. An awesome amount of grain.

A color version of an image from my Life Between the Shadows project. I can remember the morning sun looking back at this image.

My daughter, my pup, and it's black and white. I really liked the dark silhouette and dramatic skies, looks amazing on a metal print.

Documenting history, the pain and emotion in her face and a real message. And Fujifilm Acros at work. SOOC.

- Viltrox 85mm f1.8
- ISO160 | f2.2 | 1/250 sec.
My first street photography image that I was really happy with. I like the cut of light that she's walking in, the reflection of her glasses and her hair blowing in the wind.

A guy sits alone on a stool at Fort Wayne's Famous Coney Island, a local coney dog stand that has been around since the Influenza Pandemic of 1918, a sign of the times. Before 2020, this place was always so packed that the front windows fogged up in the colder months from the crowd.

It was a different night. Stranger messages me on Instagram and says he has a light up Halloween mask, so we met up and made things happen. I liked how this one turned out.
- Fujifilm X-T3
- XF 35mm f1.4
- ISO400 | f1.4 | .625 sec (x2)
- Second exposure identical of grassy field where we were shooting.
Tiny Tank, he's easy enough to love just looking at him isn't he? But as a photograph I like it for the personality in Tank's face, the lighting balance from the natural light let in from just the front door being open...and that bokeh.

Another big city feel shot, and the second day we actually had a little atmosphere in the city. A little Dark Knight hospital scene feel to it.
- Fujifilm X-T3
- XF 23mm f2
- ISO1000 | f2 | 1/200 sec.
Yes, I like taking pictures of my dog(s). But I also like the look in her eye, the unconventional composition, lit with just a simple off-camera speedlight and a cheap umbrella with my garage wall as a background.

My first street portrait, and rather than having to approach him, he came to me. Ned is a...character. But I like the lighting on him, and it was taken on the 4th of July so the shirt is fitting. An interesting talk Ned had with me.

My favorite image from my Life Between the Shadows project. With Fan Ho being a big influence on my photography, this image had the most "Fan Ho" vibes to me. Also, Acros film simulation at work again, SOOC.
