Sam’s Photo Blog

It is easy to get caught up with all the camera gear and forget why I loved taking photos in the first place.

Carrying 2 lenses (FA50 F/1.4 and Tokina AT-X Pro 80-200mm F/2.8)and just walking around downtown Toronto.


Been quite busy lately, but spent some time re-vamping the gallery and equipment pages (can also access from top of the page).

Switching gear to some Hong Kong photos this week. Let’s go for some evening exercise on the roof!

Taken with a Pentacon Six Flektogon 50mm with a P6 to K-mount shift adapter.

Time is flying by and things have been pretty hectic. This past week I was playing around with the Lensbaby Composer with a custom made aperture with some really cool effects.

Recently I just wander around the city without worrying about how to compose the shot or think about what lens to bring.

Sometimes I kick myself for not having a camera on hand but it is quite refreshing to just explore and enjoy the setting.

A vibrant sunset near Dongguan. I was so tired the camera was set at ISO1600 and then realized I had gotten off at the wrong train station…

Waiting in the rain. I covered him with a few more umbrellas!

My 5-week journey in Asia is coming to an end. Time to start packing again, see you in Toronto!

I am in Boston this week visit fellow Azure Dynamics co-workers as well as doing some photoshoot for the New England Aquarium.
I think the feeling of being done school has finally sunk in.

This animation was taken from Brian’s balcony near Yonge & Bloor. Lens used was a lensbaby with a home-made spiral aperture.
