Aspiring photographer with a second home on the Italian riviera. (It is a work in progress, a couple more years and it will be amazing.)

Watching an interview with Harry Borden. Just happen to have cool light coming in the window while I did so I snapped a self portrait.

What owl is this?
I call this one “lucky”
I happened to be walking around a campground a couple years ago with my vintage @tamronamericas.bsky.social ‘81 300/2.8 and spotted him. I generally don’t have patience for wildlife photos, glad he came to me.

Another with the @tamronamericas.bsky.social 500mmf8 Reflex lens. Sometimes the strange donut bokeh is distracting but it can also be make for a very unique look. #reflexlens #maui #photography

This is the site. You can only book 3 days within a 30 day period and can only book 30 days in advance (if I remember right)

If you plan on headed to Maui take a tent and head to Kipahulu campground on the south east shore of the island. Site 16 is something out of a dream.
This was sunrise, moonrise, and moonset. All from our sheltered little spot on the edge of the ocean. It was like a dream. #maui #kipahulu #site16

Who else uses their camera as a shield from having to socialize?
The Milwaukee Tool party during STAFDA 2019 (specialty tools and fasteners distributors association) I think this is where I found my love for candid event photography.

I’d nominate this one for the list. Mel D. Cole did an amazing job capturing the craziness of those years.

Maui 2023 Shot this with an old
500mm f8 reflex from @tamronamericas.bsky.social
Reflex lenses got a bad rap because they were slow and hard to nail focus. The image stabilization, high iso, and focus assists in new cameras make them worth looking at in my opinion. They are small and affordable.

I love this one. I shot it in the stairwell of a Nashville club after more than a couple of beverages. Using an old manual focus Takumar 50/1.4 with my Sony A7II. I am still amazed at how sharp it is. #portraitphotography

Noctilucent clouds, which form in the upper atmosphere, are only visible during the summer months, just after sunset, and only between 45 and 80 degrees north. #noctilucentclouds #photography

Northern lights just 20 min outside my city last year.
It’s always hard to get the motivation to go out at night to try and find them. More often than not they don’t show up, then the night you don’t go out you see everyone’s posts raving about how amazing they were. #aurora #northernlights

The Rhine 2021
This was my first trip to Europe since I was a child.
Little did I known this trip would lead to me owning an ancient ex-monastery on the Italian riviera 3 years later
