  • San Francisco and Sonoma

    This year for the birthday, did a fantastic 2 week trip to San Francisco and Sonoma.  Lots of touristy stuff, lots of wine drinking, and lots of photos… Cameras were the GF1 and a Holga – this was my my first “real” outing with the GF1 and it absolutely lived up to my expectations.  Was able to carry the body with kit lens and 20/1.7 in the corner of my daybag with room for the rest of my assorted junk.  Never missed carrying the big SLR one bit!

  • Sonoma, Redux

    I am quickly becoming a big fan of Northern California. I first went out last year for my birthday, had a blast, drank lots of wine. This was my second trip up to SF/Sonoma – Hung out for a day or two in the city, then drove up to the wine country. Only carried my GF1, but it served me well. (although my buddy who isn’t a photographer himself had an old Hasselblad 503cw from his dad, which we took out for some shots!) Early winter seems the perfect time to go as well – the countryside was a rainbow of reds and yellows… the vine covered hillsides were shockingly bright, especially when viewed from afar – the highly maicured vines created an almost solid carpet of color across the rolling hills.

    Lots of pictures, lots of wine… what more could you ask for? (slideshow below)

  • Shooting with the Olympus OM-D E-M5 Mark III in Sonoma County

    From rolling vineyards to redwoods to ocean views, Sonoma County is a stunning place to photograph. For restaurateur and cyclist Remi McManus, it’s also a much-needed escape from the stresses of his day-to-day work. On a recent trip, he brought along the Olympus OM-D E-M5 Mark III to capture the sights on a ride through the region, getting better acquainted with its beauty (and wines), as well as the scars that remain after the recent wildfires.
