Rain Drops

I've been trying to do more for myself lately, I wanted to get back into the habit of always having a camera on me, one that can make calls you know a "real camera." It's not that the camera on my phone can't take good photos because it has and I've had some of those photos published and I know of some pros that use only their phone cameras... but that seems so hard to me, also it's a bit to different to how I've been documenting for the past 30 years. So I wanted to get a smaller camera that wouldn't mind having on me all day. So I traded one of my cameras for a Fujifilm X-Pro 2, I've admired the Fuji system from afar for a while now the film simulations take me back to my film days. It has been around my neck for a month now and I love the fact that I'm taking more photos... the very fact that I have it on me makes me look at things differently. Anyway, I was busy this month doing mostly commercial work for The Post and Courier taking headshots and some other marketing photos for the paper. I hope you enjoy the photos thanks for coming to my page.
