I would love to be able to afford the Fujifilm 500mm OIS lens, but for now, while I can't hope to do so, the TT Artisan 500mm lens is a great way to scratch that itch. Behold! Mt Tahoma shot on a #GFX100Sii using a the #ttartisans 500mm lens. Cold, and gorgeous.
A photograph of Mt. Tahoma on a misty not quite spring morning, cold fog and cloud cover obscures the peak.  Rolling hills with a sea of green trees blue shifted in the cold early daylight.  The mountain itself is thickly coated in snow, giving a frozen, craggy look to its imposing presence.

Was recently at the #TacomaDragonParade gathering for NYE with my camera. First opportunity I've had to really work with the #gfx100sii in a public crowd setting. Combined with a golden sparkle mist filter, on the 80mm 1.7, and I am in love with the look. #streetphotography #photography #fujifilm

This one features a galaxy headlamp, a squid motif, and numerous LED holiday lights.A photograph of one of the members of the Tacoma Dragon Parade, smiling in a crowd while wearing an incandescently bright multicolor rainbow holiday light coat.  His smile is gentle, surrounded by a salt of the earth beard.

Something about this eclectic window display called out to me. The color, the arrangement, the play of light and shadow. It all just comes together so nicely, and works to really draw you in. #shotongfx #fujifilmgfx100sii #gfx100sii #photography #fujifilm #digitalphotography
A window display from a junk shop for collectors, tinkerers, and kit-bashers.  Displayed is a typewriter, a clock radio, a pair of mystery gift bags - one pink purple and white (in the background) and one red, black, blue and sky with purple ribbons in the foreground. A trio of toy horses is to the left side of the frame, with a typewriter peeking into the frame below.  In the background, blurred from bokeh effect, is various other items, and a banner barely legible that reads "handmade" the lighting of the after-hours window display features the subject described above prominently in a warm light glow.

I apparently have a thing for photographing signage. Exit signs, open signs, closed signs... It's all fair game. Here is one of my favorites of recent... A hot pink and blue-purple led open sign. #shotongfx #fujifilmgfx100sii #gfx100sii #photography #photowalk #fujifilm #digitalphotography
A hot pink and purple-blue-hued neon style sign and it's reflection photographed in a window at night.  The sign is artistically just off center, inviting the eye to follow the angles of light, and depth of shadow around the frame to explore all the available detail and wonder what is beyond.

Gonna be gearless as a photographer for a couple of weeks. Trading my gear in at a loss for a GFX 100s ii.

This is one of my favorite shots I've taken. Was part of a group event where a model was brought along to let every photographer have a little model work. While everyone was focused on her, I saw this moment forming out of the corner of my eye, and had to capture it. #photography #moment #portrait
Jason from Tacoma photo club, a large format photography enthusiast cycles the film in his handheld large format grafflex back camera.  The wind through his hair and beard make him extremely photogenic in the moment.

More of my photography. This was shot on a #Nikon D50 a consumer grade DSLR from 2005/6, with a #ccd sensor, at only 5 megapixels. My photography studio is all about making you feel as if time has shifted, based on what style you pick. #photography #vintagedigital #2000’s #stylizedphoyography
