There was a recent news story that got my attention. The remains of two, perhaps three poachers were discovered on a South African Game Reserve. Apparently these three individuals were carrying a suppressed rifle to kill Rhinos and an axe to amputate their horns. While in the game reserve, the poachers encountered a pride of…
The summer months are upon us and nothing radiates warmth quite like a beautiful sunset. I’ve been pretty busy since my last post with a lot of time spent writing and editing images with a focus on updating my “100 Images.” These are a portfolio of my 100 best images rendered as fully ready print…
X-Pro2 Background and Camera Features The Fuji X-Pro2 is a small light 24 MP APS-C camera that was released in March of 2016.
