Walking in the Sun

I woke up this morning to amazing sunlight prompting me to hit the Fort Worth streets armed with a Fujifilm camera and a single 23mm lens. I’m always eager to venture out of my comfort zone of macro and bird photography to that of street photography. But today I would have one rule – no black and white photography.

Pre-spring Color

I’ve been photographing flowers from my own nursery for the past month now in preparation for my new nursery collection, but I wanted to photograph flowers outdoors and enjoy the beautiful day in the sun.

The Giant Amadeus Amaryllis is towering all others, eclipsing my Cherry Blossom and later purchased Red Fantasy Amaryllis.

Taking the Cowtown Backroads

I have really enjoyed photographing with a used Fujifilm X Pro 2 incorporating an ARCOS-R film simulation which has become my favorite. However, with all of my traveling as of late, I have been in pursuit of a lighter configuration for my photography while on the road so I don’t have to lug around cameras for black and white, birds, and color.
