Had a very successful day at our church with a free pancake breakfast and then 5,000 eggs dropped from a helicopter with another 3,000 eggs on the ground. We have an estimated 1,000 people joined us for this event with around 500 children. Great day for everyone.

Yeah that's what I told myself, get out there and go hiking as well as taking some pictures as I got moving. The two blood clots in my left leg still hurt and I'm hoping that doing more walking will help with pray and taking my

Dempsey has cancer but is still getting around. Today he sat on the couch and watched football with me. Let's see how 2026 does for him.

Our second trip of the year to the Smokies and the colors we close to perfect in parts of the park. Even with the government shutdown, Friends of the Smokies was keeping the park open with their funds. It was a great trip and even though we saw no bears

I switched from Canon to Fuji in 2016 and since that time I'm still learning how wonderful each of their camera are... but one thing that is the same for each camera is the way Fuji handles the color produced by their cameras.
Gerri created a quilt of dogs for Jack. The two in the middle of the quilt is our dogs Dempsey (a Brittany) and Jonah (a Havanese). The project took a lot of work but turned out great.
this barn sits in a field just before you get to our local dog groomers shop. I shot it with my Fuji X-T2 that has been converted to IR.
Missed the opening night of STAND, but was able to capture a few images from Sunday's service.
Removing noise which is digital grain from images is done on almost every image you see online. There are software packages dedicated to removing noice...but when you are trying to replicate a film stock...like I am here with a Fuji X Weekly receipe for Kodak Tri-X you want
I shoot these a lot and I'm not ashamed to say that...and when I am using either a film camera or one of my Fuji's the colors always look great. This time I shoot the flowers with my Fuji 100VI and this image is SOOC

Shooting the Fuji X-T5 using the 33mm 1.4f lens. I am using the Kodak Tri-X 400 film sim.
Jonah our havanese loves his toys. This one is one of his favorites and he was ready to run off with it if I tried to take it.

Not the clarity that I saw in the the images of the car show, but still pleased with these images. All taken on my 1972 Mamiya C300.
