Merry Christmas!
I got to say that this camera is great. It’s been strapped to me for weeks and I’ve definitely been putting it to use. The impetus for me to buy this thing was to get a good backup as well as a means for me to produce more content for this section of my website. The Canon G10 is fast and fully manual, the macro is good, and it shoots RAW to Capture One. It’s a tiny step up from the G9. You notice the larger file size right away. More photos on the way.
These are still-life images of a 1967 Gibson Les Paul guitar that a friend brought over for me to photograph. It has such a classic shape; it’s a beautiful instrument. It was kind of an exercise in still-life but the images turned out nice.
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays.
More posts on the way.
These are tests from New Milford, CT and here in Brooklyn
with the recent acquisition of the Canon G10. It’s nice and fast.
I got so much to share but posting ain’t easy. More soon. Yes, soon. Promise.
Itineraries are never followed on these, but I’m really wanting to set a course eastward and northbound.

Jesse, Noah, Sean, Mari, Eileen, Sammy, Asumpta, Keren, Danica, Louis, David, Mike, Emily, and a few more got in my 15-passenger van to celebrate Dave’s birthday in Bushwick and Williamsburg. We went to an amazing little pizza place called Roberta’s, opened by my friend Chris. Later, we piled in for a sit down and chat at Daddy’s. Thanks for making this photo happen guys. xo James
