An architectural photographer makes pictures, not takes pictures.

    I'm still in shock that I got this photo. This was taken in my backyard. I had 3 cameras set up and was going between each one with and without a solar lens filter and Tripod. I think constantly having practice in low light settings with flashing lights helped me to quickly get the settings needed for this shot.It was an incredible experience to see. I am really debating traveling for another totality.

    What I love about this photo is how feral it is. Jack is slightly out of focus, moving around, kicking the air, balancing on one foot while falling back, and perfectly strumming out a brilliant tune. This picture exemplifies who he is. He does a little bit of everything everywhere. He writes and produces music for big artist like Taylor Swift, The Chicks, Lorde, and The 1975. He produces major motion picture soundtracks like Minions: The Rise of Gru. All while playing in bands like Fun. and Blea

    I met young Miles at Ellis Square while he was doing some rather gymnastic break dancing. Luckily, for me, I was using my Nikon Z7 which allowed me to switch from raw to jpeg giving me 9 frames per second on motor drive. I was shooting aperture preferred and used f/8 the resulting shutter speed was 1/1600 of a second. 9fps sounds fast but I only had 6 nicely composed shots out of 120 exposures.

    I had spent the better part of the day moving silently through the edges of the chase looking to photograph deer. It was one of those days that seemed perfect on paper: overcast skies that softened the light, barely a breath of wind, and a camera battery at full charge. But nature is nothing if not humbling. The deer remained ghost-like, unseen despite hours of quiet patience and soft steps.By late afternoon my hopes had dimmed so I began the slow walk back to the car. The path wound through
