So a funny thing happened yesterday, I found myself in Santa Barbara at the local Samy’s standing at the counter asking to see an Olympus. That is right folks not only have I committed the sacrilege of switching camera systems from Canon to Nikon, but I now have an Olympus E-P2 in my bag as well… (I am sure the hellfire and brimstone will rain down shortly). So why did I get this camera? The long and short of it is that I saw what this thing was capable of thanks to my buddy Ray Ketcham and a another amazing photographer out of Texas, Kirk Tuck. The images with this little dynamo sparked a creative project that I am hopefully going to kick off very shortly assuming I can get my hands on a few more pieces of equipment needed. At this point my buddy Jeff Lynch is probably rolling his eyes, saying that the gearlustitis is in full swing again, and he would be right. One thing I have mentioned before on the blog and one that I know other photogs know is that one camera may not be able to do the job to get you that creative vision you had in your head… So to that end the newest tool in the arsenal of creative vision is primed an ready to go, now if I could just manage to read the instruction book

P.S. There is going to be some format changes coming down the pipe, soon so if you see the blog in disarray late at night that is me trying to relearn html coding using a sledge hammer…

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
Josh,I really love this image. Clean. Efficient. Rule of thirds…all that. But if “…. one camera may not be able to do the job to get you that creative vision you had in your head..” well, then as we say here in NJ, I’m fubared. Well, we say something else, but I don’t want to type it. Believe me, I’m not depriving you of new gear…not at all…but sometimes I just have to think that if you can’t stay with who you brought to the prom, well…
Of course, that’s me, a guy with now five mouths to support typing.
I can’t wait to see your project and what you make of it. Was thinking of you all day today as I went with just the 50 on an outing.
It isn’t gear lust at all sometimes you need a camera that doesn’t make everyone run for cover when you hold it up.
I am pretty happy with what I am getting out of the M4/3 files and I know you will be real happy to add another tool to the arsenal. Sometimes only one hammer just won’t do. But then I suppose I would say that. lol
Looking forward to this project Josh. Now that I am about done with my last one I too am thinking of some projects for the smaller rig. (sorry Jeff)

Olympus camera do some amazing things. Their glass can run at f/2.8 at a 600mm equivalent if I’m not wrong. That’s insane! And that camera looks mighty interesting, can’t wait to see what comes. Good luck with the changes!
