A Little About Me
I discovered photography as a digital art when I entered college 25 years ago. Although my formal education was in engineering, my passion was photography. To become more well-rounded, I later studied the analog darkroom process. I then spent several summers working full-time as a photographer at a local summer camp (TCBC.com).
Eventually, I had an engineering degree and, before I even graduated, a great engineering job. My wife and I had three kids, and the photography passion was time-constrained to simply my own family. Fast forward 20 years, and I have retired from engineering (and a second career as a pastor.) While I still serve in ministry part-time, I now have the time to discover a bit of beauty each day through the lens of my cameras.
A Little About My Setup
I started with a Nikon camera 25 years ago, so when this new season of life brought me back, it was natural to slip right back into a Nikon. However, technology has changed a lot, so I upgraded — a lot.
In addition to my older lenses (they still work 25 years later!), I've started collecting new professional lenses.
Your iPhone tries to fake bokeh with digital effects, but like many AI devices, it cannot quite do it right. The small physical sensor that makes your phone fit in your pocket makes it impossible to capture great portraiture bokeh — it is just one of those pesky laws of physics.
