So here we are....two thousand and fifteen. The year Marty McFly traveled to in Back to the Future II. I've managed to keep this blog up for a year now. I haven't written all that much, but since this isn't an ad driven website (I have zero ads) I don't really need daily blog entries with some click bait title in order to keep my numbers up. Lets all remember one thing...I don't want to sell you gear. I'm just here spouting off my opinions and sharing my photos. Those around me got tired of hearing it so this allows me to get it off my chest...
So anyway....before you close the tab or browser you're reading this in, let me tell you what this post is all about. Photos....a shit ton of photos that are probably still loading. I know I tend to put in way too many photos in my blog posts and this one will be no different....probably overkill and to spare you, the reader I'll add some as galleries so it's a little easier. It took me a while to get all my favorites picked out of 2014 (out of 5139). So take a minute or three and enjoy.
Where to begin? Jan 1st I guess.
The year 2014 started off with some spectacular and world record breaking fireworks in Dubai.
Then....we had fog...it was fucking epic.
Then there was a sunrise
Followed by a sunset
I reviewed a couple cameras and lenses. My favorite overall system of 2014 being the Fuji X-T1 and Fuji's amazing lineup of X-series lenses. Fuji's been doing some really amazing things these past three years and have already started off 2015 with a new 16-55/2.8 lens. I should have a loaner soon from my friends at Fujifilm Middle East. I really hope Fuji keeps the momentum going. This isn't the camera for everyone but I do feel there is something for the majority of folks in the Fuji line-up.
I met with my homies Brian Hawkins and Michael Shainblum
And watched them shoot some time-lapse
I shot some busy streets
And some empty ones
Moved into a place with a new view
Shot from a rooftop
Or two
Shot some fashion
And a street light
Watched a skyscraper grow
And another start to grow
Needed a vacation....went to Ireland
Spent two weeks in Dublin
Then went to Cannes, France
Then a week and a half in Paris
Came back to Dubai
Shot a stormy night
Shot a tranquil night
Shot some cliché pictures
And some unique ones that can never happen again
Cloudy night
Clear night
Shot some looking down
Some some looking up
Shot the Palm Jumeirah
Shot from the Palm Jumeirah
The Dubai Marina from up high

The Dubai Marina from down low
Under a bridge
On top of that bridge

At sea level
Down towards sea level
