Zen photography comes naturally with an empty mind. Its both waiting for a moment where light, shape, and dynamics fall into place, and being devoid of planning in advance. Instead of checking the weather online before a shoot, you just venture out and essentially wing it. Its all about being in the moment. As a landscape photographer, I want to share the ways of this minimalist sub-genre.

Of the recent digital medium format releases, one could argue the Hasselblad X1D carries the most-revered name. Based around a similar 44 x 33mm sensor found in the Pentax 645Z and Fujifilm GFX-50S, it offers the most 'portability' of the three, especially when coupled with its smaller leaf shutter lenses.

Did you know it rains a lot in Seattle? No? Well, it does. It rains every day for 11 and a half months. Naturally, this poses some challenges for outdoor photography. Sure, more and more cameras are offering some degree of weather sealing, but staying dry is a hot commodity in our rainy city, and weather sealing cant keep moisture off your lens.

'If only there were some sort of hands-free device that could keep me dry all the time, while also making me... more

A couple of years ago, my twin boys (now 9) began to ask me for cameras. I was 6 when I got my first camera — it was the first thing I used my allowance on.

It was an old 110 Kodak camera. I was hooked from that moment and although there were moments where photography was not in the forefront, it was never too far behind (whether I realized it or not).

At the eastern end of the island of Java lies the active volcano of Kawah Ijen. Here men work in perilous conditions to extract suffer from the bottom of the caldera.

Ceramic pipes funnel the sulfur until it condenses and solidifies into pools that can be broken up.

The miners carry these loads of solidified sulfur, weighing 150 to 200 pounds, up and out of the crater on a steep loose three mile trail to the weigh station.
