We have had a lot on our plate in the last few weeks. We worked on a few commercial assignments, which provided us with a little break from our usual travel/landscape/documentary regimen. Now our summer and autumn travel calendar is filling up quickly. Next week, we are heading to Olympic National Park. Hopefully, the weather [...]

Photo Bits and Bobs
It has been a very busy and exciting time for us. We are currently pulling together our summer and autumn photography travel plans. There are some really great locations on the table, which should provide us with plenty of visual opportunities. We’ll keep you updated. With an upcoming lens announcement from Fuji regarding a new [...]
Two (amazing) hours in Monument Valley
Fuji X-T1 & XF 14mm F2.8 During our recent photography trip south of the border, Monument Valley was not even on our itinerary. One morning we finished photographing the Grand Canyon and planned to head back. However, we knew that Monument Valley – a place that we have been always fascinated with – was only [...]
7700 km with the Fuji X-series
What a trip it was! We covered 7700 kilometres, ventured into the most incredible landscapes in the world and met fascinating people. We travelled with Fuji X-T1, XF 14mm F2.8, a brand new XF 50-140mm F2.8 OIS and Fuji X100T. We have a lot of material for you, which we have only just started to review. [...]
The Mission District – a visual feast of mural art
While researching our recent photography trip to San Francisco and area, we put the Mission District high on our list of things to do. Some Internet guides characterize this area as dangerous to visit, citing frequent shootings and robberies. We’re glad we didn’t listen. Named for Mission Dolores, founded in 1776, the Mission District is [...]
California Dreaming with the X-series cameras
What a trip it was! Almost 10 days, 5,500 kilometres, three ghost towns, the Oregon Coast, San Francisco, Yosemite and lots in-between. Kasia and I had planned this trip for a long time. Some places we had visited before (Shaniko, Oregon Coast), while others (Bodie, Yosemite) were new for us. As usual with such a [...]
Having a good time with the Fuji X100s
What a great few weeks it has been! Since I received the Fuji X100s I have been shooting with it almost exclusively. From my first morning coffee to my bedtime tea, the camera has been my constant companion and witness to my daily routine. This in itself is a privilege I have given no other [...]
Life on the Streets of Senegal (photo essays with Fuji X-E1)
From early in the morning until late at night, the streets of Senegal are buzzing with life. At daybreak merchants set up their stands along all major roads, businesses open their doors, people rush to work and kids (the lucky ones) go to school. Not all children have the privilege of going to school. In [...]
One Woman’s Incredible Journey to Africa (photo essays with Fuji X-E1)
Very often I find women’s approach to photography much better than men’s. Men view cameras as toys. We cherish cameras; we talk about them and even argue about them. Unfortunately this technical approach often keeps us away from what is really important in photography. Immediately after my wife, Kasia, took our Fuji X100 into her [...]
