Shot with Canon Powershot G7X MkII
I took a long walk around the block and saw some fun stuff. Before that, I took some photos of the birds at the birdfeeder and tried some new strategies to get a wing or flying shots. I used a flash with the 100mm lens but I was so close that the second I took a shot the bird would take off. It is just too dark to take great shots at this point. I traded out to the 150-600 Sigma and backed up from the bird feeder and set up a small Aputure light and put it as close to the feeder as possible but it only gave out so much light. I am going to get a much larger light and try that. I also saw a crackhead, some dudes smoking crack, and some pretty flowers on my walk.

Read MoreWildlife, Macro, and more photos from my trip to Texas
I recently took a trip with my mom to Texas to visit my sister and dad. I was able to take a few small hikes and found some fun animals to take photos of. The trip was intended to visit with family and not to go out into the woods to find exotic wildlife but I am glad I was able to see the animals I saw. Also, my sister’s cat Sophia was there.

It snowed like crazy in my neighborhood and since I was off I took a walk to Glendoveer Gold Course, stopped by Von Ebert Brewing, and walked around. I decided to do color and black and white and a bunch of photos.

I moved to Portland in 2016 with essentially zero experience with photography and no idea what Portland had to offer. My brother Josh had been doing videography and photography for a long time and he wanted to start a business. He invited me to move in with him to become partners in the business and I quit my job and moved to Portland where we started Fractal Focus LLC. In order to familiarize myself with photography, I borrowed my brother’s Canon 5d Mark III with a 70-200 lens and took a walk around the Glendoveer Walking Path.
Read MoreBorn and Raised in New York: My Trip to Brooklyn to visit my 85 yr old Uncle. (Travel Photos)
My uncle Simon was born in 1937 and has lived in New York his entire life. He is my mother’s uncle, which makes him my second uncle, but he is more of a grandpa figure to me. I have really only known him as an elderly man and his age is catching up to him. He retired from teaching early and was an avid patron of the arts in New York. After retiring he traveled the world with his friend Marvin and was a frequenter of on and off Broadway shows. He walked every day and went to the gym and saw movies and took the subway into Manhattan to places like The Julliard School, museums, and Jewish centers, and for the past 50 years would go back to the same apartment in the heart of Brooklyn.
