Why am I doing this? Many people view photography as sort of a rich man's hobby. Something that is gatekeeped by how much money you make, and something that you can't even begin to truly experience with less than $500. But it is my firm belief that photography can absolutely

So the other day, I got my very first fisheye lens. Hurray! Every IG photographer's favorite gimmick tool, right? Naw, not even close. The fisheye is a legitimate and useful tool, and I love the perspective it forces the viewer into. Originally bought just for car interiors, this little 16mm

It’s me again! Remember how I said I was going to fall down the ergo rabbit hole? Well… that didn’t happen. Why? No idea… The MAJA has been a relative mainstay on my desk since Part 3 of my journey. This past year has been about refinements.

I wasn't planning on writing another piece on a specific lens, but this lens in particular has impressed me so much that I simply need to talk about it. The Nikon AF-DC Nikkor 105mm F/2D is the best lens I have ever used. It combines a level of optical

Technology has been a lifelong passion for me. Since I was little, taking things apart and inspecting them to figure out how they work has been a staple of my life, and as I grow older, the scale of what I can take apart and tinker with grows. With that,

If you have ever seen one of my PC build logs, EDC, or audiophile photos, you will have no doubt seen this little guy. I discovered the amazon.co.jp version of these figures a long time ago and HAD to have one. Something about that blank stare resonated with me.

If there's anything I've come to appreciate during the past 18 or so months, it's breaking out of the monotony that is my usual daily routine, so if I happen to get the chance to get out of town for a while then you can probably bet that I won't

You need to stay sharp in the tech world and hone your skills. Did I come up with this gallery theme just to make that pun? Absolutely. Custom knives have been a part of my hobby collection for a few years now. They naturally make cameos in my PC build

This is a collection of places and things that belong to another time. Mechanical clockwork, film photography, and age old bridges are among this bunch. I have always had a fondness for the old vs. the new, and I try to capture the charm and character I see in things

When I got my Nikkor 50mm F/1.4 AI-s, I was so blown away by not only how it performed, but also by how it changed my view of my own photography, that I felt the need to write an article about all of it. I also wanted to

With the age of digital media, a lot of us tend to walk towards the ways of streaming our music, onto platforms such as Apple Music, Spotify, and Melon. Of course, there is little to fault as a music consumer, as music streaming services offer the most convenient outlet to

I love photography. I love every aspect of composing, shooting, and editing, and always will. However, there are times I become frustrated. A shot doesn't work out here, I can't get the lighting right there, things like this can take a toll. Attempting to create inherently imperfect art when you
