    Photos at the Ohio Statehouse

    I swung by the Ohio Statehouse yesterday for about 10 minutes, just with my GX1 and Olympus 12mm f/2.  This is a great place to shoot…open to the public of course, and with excellent architecture.  Grabbed some quick shots and I was rather satisfied.  Even when feeling swamped and with a dreary day overall yesterday,…

  • Olympus Releases the E-M5!

    Olympus Releases the E-M5!

    The much leaked and highly anticipated Olympus E-M5 is finally here.  Olympus has finally released the “professional” grade Micro 4/3 camera they’ve been promising for years.  Will it measure up to the hype? Will it take the Micro 4/3 format in a new direction?  I’ll dissect the press release a bit and give you my…

  • Finding Abstract Beauty

    One of the things that I love about photography is finding beauty in line and form, especially in finding a view or perspective in objects that most people will pass by.  I especially love this when shooting architecture or travel photography. It is really a fun way to explore a place that I may have…

    As an active member in several on-line photographic communities, I read a lot of photographers’ opinions on a wide range of subjects: photographic technique, inspirational photos, business and the quality of camera gear.  One trend I’ve noticed with the rapid pace of improvement in digital imaging is that many photographers get so caught up in…

  • Pentax K-01 Announced – My Thoughts

    Today, Pentax announced their large sensor entry into the mirrorless camera market.  The camera has a 16 MP APS-C sized sensor, and that should be great. I’m sure image quality in this camera will be excellent.  Where Pentax both succeeded and failed was with making the camera use the K-mount.  The K-mount is the Pentax…

  • Finding Texaco

    Here in Ohio, the Texaco brand is defunct. There are no current Texaco stations in the state, at least to my knowledge. However, every once in a while, you may pass by an old abandoned gas station, and they sort of look the same. Dilapidated, grungy, old. It is rare that you pass by a…
