I’ve driven past Firestone Alley in Columbus several times before. It’s a little street in the Arena District, just west of Huntington Park, where the Columbus Clippers, the AAA affiliate of the Cleveland Indians, play. This little place is home to the Buggy Works, a residential and office space that they built around this alley….

Night Street Photography
One thing I love about my little GX1 and my Olympus 12mm f/2, is that the combo makes for a great wide angle street shooting combination. Even at night. These were taken handheld at ISO 2500 and f/2. Having a capable camera and wide, fast lens, make this kind of shooting possible, and because of…

The Morning Commute
On my way into work this morning, it was a dreary day, but the sky was lighting up in front of me. As traffic was light, I grabbed my GX1 with one hand and just rested it on the dash. I rolled the aperture to its smallest, waited for an overpass and ‘click’ – I…
