Nebraska Landscape Photography With A Friend
I headed out recently to shoot some nature and landscape images with a friend, and this is what we found!
A Portrait of a Sandhills Cattle Rancher
When a rancher in a truck pulled over and asked us what we were doing, I'm pretty sure he was being protective of his land. He might have been a bit suspicious although he was too polite to say so. We explained to him that we were from Omaha and just appreciating the beauty of the Sandhills. I was out with @kurt_johnson_photography on a mini two-day photo…
Olympus OM-1 with 12-40mm f/2.8 PRO Lens Photo Walk in Iowa
https://youtu.be/ou5M-H-_Lpk The Olympus OM-1 is a fantastic camera that I'm having a ton of fun with. However, it also takes some great images! Combined with the OM-System 12-40mm f/2.8 PRO lens, the system can really shine.
Fuji X100v “Color Negative 400” Film Recipe Bike Ride
https://youtu.be/BCdmgqw7xXY The Fujifilm X100v is the ultimate bike ride photographic companion. Small, light, and extremely capable, THIS is the camera to take with you wherever you go. On this day, I rode my bike through some roads in Nebraska looking for roadside beauty. Using the "Color Neg 400" film recipe from Fuji X Weekly created some strong, contrasty images that were pretty cool! All examples below are…

Some of the Last Photographs of the Israel Beetison Home in Ashland, Nebraska https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8_IIreTfE7AThe Beetison House in Ashland, Nebraska burned down recently, and I'm beyond sad. This place held five generations of the same family. It stood tall on this hill for many, many years, and I'm lucky to have have recently gone out to photograph it's historic ruins.
Getting Close With the Fujifilm X100v
https://youtu.be/Efsar7pN1iQ I love telling stories, which is one of the reasons I enjoy using the Fuji X100v. The 35 mm full-frame focal length has long been a favorite of mine, and whether I was telling wedding stories or the story of families, I’ve been using the focal length for decades. Now, with the x100v, I can not only tell the story of the Nebraska landscape that I…
The Fujifilm X100v: Telling the Story of Rural Nebraska
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=18vLdgBvbi0&t=5s This old church is close to my heart. She’s an example of the beauty that one can find even in your own “back yard.” This place is a well-known and photographed place in Nebraska and we are all watching and waiting, kind of like a slow-motion car wreck, for her to fall down. We don’t want it to happen, but it’s inevitable. At least we have…
