That Cali Light

It hasn't been that long since I was in Cali, but it's been awhile since I've noticed the particular quality of light that is unmistakably from Los Angeles.

Liked how she was highlighted and dressed in white.

This didn't turn out the way I wanted it to in my head, but here it is anyways.

Purp

Liked the long shadows on this one

Something about the light post, the power line pole and the liquor store seemed at such odds with each other.

Special delivery

Took a mini trip to Portland to shoot and pick up some things. Slowly starting to understand how my camera works and the Fujifilm color profiles.


They don't make them like they used to


Interesting light/reflections. Sad this was a little soft though. Needs to practice standing still


This guy is a visual representation of Portland

NYC...again

Is it possible to visit too often? Didn't get my usual morning walk around shoot but managed to catch some pretty things.

View of NYC from Newark


Art Gallery hopping in Chelsea


Saw a lady selling this walking over. Hard to say no


Loved the colors with the light


I liked how everything is sloping from left to right


Coffee time


Reminded me of a renaissance painting


Had to fit in a water tower pic

NYC before the heat comes

NYC for a weekend after a grueling work crunch. Got in at 5:30am and dropped off my bags at the The James hotel. Even though I was deliriously tired, I decided to walk around and shoot in the morning light. All shot on a Fujifilm X-T30 35mm F/2.0

I'm sure I've photographed this water tower before. Still obsessed with them.

Another one

Last one I swear

It had rained earlier, and it was set to rain later that day. The tricky part about this photo was that it was windy on this street so I had to wait for awhile to get a still image

Trying to practice getting people in shafts of light. I should have been on the other side of him for this shot

I liked the color of his shirt

He looked like he had just been through a tough work week too

Not a great photo, but I liked how this shot looked like it was taken 30 years ago
