Some Black & Whites
I started out as a black and white photographer. Armed with a Pentax K-1000 from my News and Photo class, I set about taking images on Kodak Tri X Pan 400 film then processing and printing it in our school darkroom. I’ve been shooting in color since then, but I still see the world in …

More Images from Antelope Canyon

Revisiting My Sony a6100
I bought a Sony a6100 in 2022 as a way to dip my toe to into mirrorless. I used a Nikon D750 as my primary camera at the time, had recently added a D500 for sports and wildlife, and had tried Nikon’s mirrorless system through a used Z50. I was nonplussed with Nikon’s mirrorless autofocus …
