Posted on February 19, 2022February 20, 2022 by Jordan Steele

If you have been a longtime visitor to the site, you my have read a little retrospective I did where I thought back through my journey as a photographer. Mentioned in there was the very first digital camera I ever owned, which was a Kodak DC3400. I got this camera as a college graduation present…

Capturing the Postcard Photo

Posted on September 18, 2014September 18, 2014 by Jordan Steele

With Cologne’s great cathedral stretching high into the sky, any shot that represents the city typically features this well-known (and quite beautiful) landmark.  There is, however, one spot where the ‘quintessential’ photo of Cologne is typically made: across the river to the left of the bridge at sunset.

I’m loving digital photography.  I love my Olympus E-M5 and all the modern convenience it brings.  But sometimes you just want a different experience.  I have a few old manual focus cameras, and my most recent is my dad’s old Canon AE-1, which still works just fine.  I have a fair amount of Canon FD…

Frantic and Busy

Posted on March 13, 2012 by Jordan Steele

Ahh…that time of year…the weather’s getting warmer, the flowers are soon to start to bloom…and I have almost no time to go out and shoot.  Such is life.  I did get to shoot quite a lot of photos last week, but unfortunately, I am not at liberty to post them.  Here’s hoping with the wonderful…
