Fun Little Lens: Nikon 50 1.4 AFD
My 52 Frames challenge this week was Shallow Depth of Field, and extra credit was use 1.4 aperture. Well, this one was one of my favorites! I fell in love with shallow DOF back when I first started really getting into photography, about 25 years ago. (How is that even possible?) I don’t have any…

Thomasville Clay Road Classic
This weekend we went to South Georgia to ride some red clay dirt roads at the Thomasville Clay Road Classic. I’ve done this ride before, but only the 25-mile route because in 2024, it was raining, and rain and dirt roads make messes. But the weather was amazing for this year, except for the rain…

Saturday Gravel Ride
We rode out to some new-ish roads which were pretty remote. It was a pretty cloudy day – sun didn’t break out until we were home from the ride. The Graffiti Bridge we found was a lot of fun, with interesting graffiti messages, baby piglets, really pretty roads and a couch in the river. All…

Saturday in Atlanta
I had a chance to walk around a little in downtown Atlanta after I finished shopping at the Blick store. (Yep, bought a pen…) Atlanta is kind of a weird city to me. I was on Peachtree Street and there are like no people out walking. Plenty in cars. And the Waymo autonomous cars all…

The Last Couple of Weeks
I have not been really inspired to take photos the last few weeks. It’s winter in Georgia and that means everything is brown and gray. Also it has been really, really cold here. So, I’ve been riding my bike indoors, staying in as much as possible. I’m not much of a cold weather person, though…

This Week
The fountain pen hobby is getting intense so we went to Greenville SC for the day to go to Truphae, a beautiful pen store. Odd that a city the size of Atlanta does not seem to have a dedicated pen store, but we don’t really have a camera store either so there you go. I…

Lately
I’ve been taking photos lately but the holidays have kept me busy. Now that we’re past all that, I had a minute to post something. One really cool thing that happened was one of my photos got selected for the 52 Picks album on 52 Frames, where I’ve been submitting photos weekly for 23 weeks…

Cafes and Chairs
I really love the look of the cafe chairs in France, apparently, because I took a lot of photos of them. I like the repetition and patterns I think. And there are plenty of them to choose from! All images taken with my Fujifilm X100VI.

Bretagne, France
We took a weeklong trip to Pont-Aven, France in Bretagne. I loved it there so much and I took so many pictures. Way too many to post here, but I’ll try to make it reasonable. I just really felt connected, engaged and inspired there. I have some themed photos that I’ll post later, but for…

Resurrecting this Blog
Because I don’t know what else to do with all of these photos. And hoping it’ll become a habit and not something I do for a day or two and forget. So here are some photos from our trip to Ohio for GOBA (Great Ohio Bicycle Adventure): And some from RAGBRAI. This was our 7th.…
