I usually carry a camera with me, and this time it was my Rico GRIIIx, an amazing pocketable camera with a reasonably fast 40mm lens. Sure, phone cameras are handy, but I prefer a camera. I was walking home from an evening concert in April of 2026, and these angles and planes caught my eye. Captured in RAW polychrome, converted to monochrome in post, and finally printed with a slightly warm tone. The scene did not exude much color to begin with, but I preferred the clean slate.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MCO Fine Art","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45518540472496,"sku":"AC-26ST027-Apt-Stairs","price":3.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0584\/4425\/1312\/files\/ac-26ST027-staircase.jpg?v=1786721113"},{"product_id":"art-card-nocturn","title":"Art Card - Nocturne","description":"\u003cp\u003eWe traditionally take a walk in the woods on New Year's Day. On this occasion, it was late in the day. Night comes without delay in January, and daylight was fading fast when we had finally decided to get dressed for the day. On the walk, this tree's silhouette against the darkening sky captured my attention and imagination. Maybe a bit of Poe or Frost or Chopin came to mind.

We toured the expansive Moss Humanities Building on campus in Madison. It's an interesting Brutalist style of architecture. Pete wielded his Pentax and I had my trusty new Ricoh GRIIIx. The building is scheduled for demolition. Student's were gone for a break and the halls were quiet. Sunlight bounced off windows in this imperfect yet balanced geometric display. Pete says the shot is very artsy. We each saw different subjects that day. I captured a few clicks and converted to warm monochrome in post.

It's kind for studio owners to rent time to other photographers, but it's always tough to shoot in an unfamiliar studio. In this case, they had very nice continuous lighting, but not crisp strobes which I prefer. There are many details to check and not much time to test when paying by the hour. Regardless, she is a talented model and we got many good shots. It's not just the pose, it's the light.

Before this photo session, I made a trip to Joanne Fabrics to try to find cloth for a backdrop. Even better if it's on sale. We used the quasi-velvet fabric in this shot in different situations - taping it on the wall as a backdrop and, as in this shot, throwing it on the floor. I paid attention to the random folds in the fabric; I wanted to avoid any totally flat sections. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHer hair was luscious that day and I made sure to keep some detail in the curls.
