about these pictures







The 2024 pictures were mostly taken with a Fujifilm X-T5, using the kit XF16-80 zoom lens, a Sigma 10-18mm wide angle zoom, and a Viltrox AF 13mm F1.4 prime for the occasional night shot. I miss the throw-it-in-your-pocket handiness of my older digital cameras, but the I think the images I get with a full-size camera and lenses speak for themselves.

Supplemental snapshots were taken with my iPhone SE (see "throw-it-in-your-pocket handiness", above).

The 2009 Malaysian pictures were taken with a Lumix LX3, which has a fast wide-angle lens and does 16x9 aspect ratio, making it great for airscapes and landscapes.

Most of the pictures 2001-2008 were taken with a Nikon Coolpix 950, my first digital camera. A few of the images were taken using the standard lens, but almost all of the aerial shots were done with the optional wide-angle lens (the picture at the top of this page shows the camera in action, and was grabbed as a still from video footage.)

Photos shot prior to 2001 were taken with a Minolta 35mm camera and the slides were later scanned into digital format.

Photos from Hong Kong and Shanghai were taken with a broken Minolta 35mm camera, though I didn't realize it at the time.

If you look close you'll see plenty of window reflections, bug smears, and artifacts from being in the wrong place vis a vis the sun.    C'est la vie...
