The life and times of a true knucklehead – No photos to be used without permission

Ant Man

I rarely get to shoot anything these days so I was happy when my coworker Jon pointed out a enormous ant in the middle of the hospital lab. So I had to bring it home and shoot it.

Mutha’s Portraits

Sandy asked for some portraits since Mommi & Ysa are visiting, so I whipped out my ZV-1. I’m not sure why the thumbnail images are so “green”, if you click on the image they are fine.

Burd Chaos

There was a flurry of feathery activity the past 2 afternoons. New ducklings, bug catching phoebe and squirrel hating crow.

Aubrie & Jaxon Wedding 2025

I took a gamble and only brought my Sony ZV-1, RX100 VII and a 100W strobe to a family wedding in Escondido. The snapshots I can always use my phone, but portraits I have to use a strobe. Sadly I didn’t take enough photos. Unfortunately Aubrie & Jaxon were so busy I never got a photo of them. I’d be a great wedding photographer.

Sony ZV-1

I bought a used Sony ZV-1 (introduced 2020) about a year ago and have never touched it. While mainly manufactured for video I see it for a potential pocket portrait camera with it’s hot shoe. At max zoom of 70mm it’s f2.8, but will it produce a nice background blur? I doubt it.

Burd Drama

This afternoon some newly hatched duckling made an appearance. Of course this brought out the predators and a angry drake. I attempting to capture these images and not burn the pork I was grilling.

Chatty Images

Jim informed me that Chat GPT does AI imaging as well. While the results aren’t as good it’s super easy.

With my current setup I cannot render groups of people. When I tried without AI model…

When I tried 3 separate models…

Dad from the past

Found these while cleaning out Mom’s house. Rather than sitting in a box I thought I would post some digital versions.
