  • So I walk out to the car this morning and Mother Nature has seen fit to place some neat ice sculptures on the roof. After starting the car to warm it up in 9 degree F heat, I grabbed the Nikon 1 V1 and set about capturing some of this pleasant icy surprise. These RAW…


  • The Nikon V1/18.5mm F1.8 Reminds me of the Panasonic GF2/20mm F1.7

    After I finished the third grade, my parent packed up the house and bought a bigger four-bedroom home in the suburbs. It was the American Dream made real, and it included a huge picture window that faced the southeast and had good morning sun. I had never known my mother to have a green thumb,…

One thing led to another and I plotted the 2012…
