Watto

Nikkor 55mm Micro AI-S. He's everybody's favorite Toydarian junk dealer and human trafficker! I am eagerly awaiting the Watto stand alone Star Wars movie rumored to be coming in 2042.

Autumn Bolt

I continue to create photographs in support of my ongoing Fall season project. This was a quick image I made this past week that features one of the many bolts I found sticking out of the dilapidated concrete where I was photographing. Watch your step!

Lomo Lubitel 2

I was getting to know the Zeiss Otus 85 when I photographed my Lubitel 2 camera at f/1.4. The depth of field is definitely "thin" at this aperture as the markings around the focus ring are in focus while the nameplate, not far behind the plane, is showing a fair amount of defocus. It has been several years since I have run a roll of 120 through the Lomo.

Eclipse 2017 In Color

This photo was taken around five minutes after what was expected to be the maximum coverage. The arriving passenger aircraft was a bonus to this image.

Eclipse 2017

I don't have the proper filters or lenses to fill the sensor with the sun. What I did have was a cloudy day, a bridge, and a desire to contribute to the countless images of today's event. I'll give it another whirl in 2024.
