TJ’s Daily Blog #52- It’s the People, Part 2.

TJ’s Daily Blog #52 It’s the People, Part 2. Even when I don’t feel like talking to anyone, I still like to be around people. Where there is people, there is energy, and I can feel it in the air. If you are like me, you are hard-wired to feed off of the energy of other people, […]

TJ’s Daily Blog #51- It’s the people.

TJ’s Daily Blog #51 It’s the people. That’s what makes me want to shoot pictures. I shoot street photography purely because I love people. They are so interesting to me. There are so many different paths, and so many different perspectives. Despite all the differences, when I really pay attention, I start to see how alike we all are. Everyone […]

The Daily Photo #50- Constant Companion

The Daily Photo #50- February 19th, 2016 Constant Companion What I love about compact cameras is that you can carry them anywhere. The smaller the camera, the more likely you are to have it on you at all times. I am more aware of the photographs around me because of the fact that I am carrying this camera around.Don’t […]

The Daily Photo #49- Getting Close with the Fujifilm X70

The Daily Photo #49- February 18th, 2016 Getting Close I believe there is much to be learned about one’s own personal photography when shooting in the street. You never know when something interesting is going to happen. You never know when a shot will just come together. It forces me to constantly strive to be more ready and more open to […]

TJ’s Daily Photo #26- OSU Campus Streets

I took the Fujifilm X100T out from the MPEX Rental Department yesterday, and I wanted to get in some street photography practice while it wasn’t bitter cold outside. The sun was actually peeking through the clouds now and then, and I got some good light… if only for a couple of minutes. I decided to […]

TJ’s Daily Photo #25- The Camera You Have

The Daily Photo #25- January 25th, 2016 The Camera You Have When I was on my way into a convenience store, this gentleman asked me, “That camera your new toy?” I vaguely affirmed, answering while walking into the store. I had the Fuji X100T hanging from my shoulder and I did kind of wish it was my new toy. […]

The Daily Photo #5- Jesse Michael Barr

The Daily Photo #5- January 5th, 2016. Jesse Michael Barr Today, I happened to run into my friend, Jesse Michael Barr. He was nice enough to stop what he was doing to sit and let me shoot a couple of portraits. This guy is a musician, a multi-instrumentalist, and a hell of a model American. You should […]

The Little Printer That Could

As a kid, I loved combing through my parents’ old photo albums. My family and I would occasionally dig stacks of them out of a closet and sift through them page by page. Obviously, laughing at how my parents used to dress and style their hair back in the late ‘70s was part of the […]
