Street Photography with Fujifilm’s XF56mm f/1.2R
I love street photography, and I love wide lenses. The last time I shot with something longer 35mm was back in 2008. I was just starting to learn the basics of photography with my dad’s Nikon D200 and 18–55mm zoom. I shot a few frames at 55mm, and that was…

“Different Cuba” with the Fuji X-T2 and the 23mmF2
Cuba is the largest island in the Caribbean and one of the last countries where socialist regime rules the country. Is it the regime or the poverty sticking to the people, that makes Cubans so extraordinary? I have been thinking about it for some time. Whenever I looked Cubans in their eyes, I saw a sad lethargic face. When I looked in the face again, I saw a beaming person,…

Story Behind Photo: Sunset
Zambujeira do Mar, Portugal. The cold cuts like a knife. And the wind. So much wind that is almost suicide get too close to the edge of the cliff. We are brutally pushed and shaken. Interestingly the tripod with the machine doesn’t move. Either way, I hold the tripod, do…
