In the spring of 2019, I began planning a cross country trip in which I would interview people for a video documentary series (and podcast) about resilience & hope<\/a>.<\/p>\n

At the time, I had a Canon EOS 5D Mark II, a Canon EOS M3, and had recently purchased a Canon EOS M6. What I would soon discover was that even all together, none of them would provide me with the features I needed to do what I wanted to do. And I couldn’t really afford a Canon camera that could.<\/p>\n

For years, I’d had my eye on what other manufacturers were doing to innovate in the photography world while growing increasingly disappointed with Canon’s offerings. The giant was sleeping.<\/p>\n

I considered all of my options. And that’s when I realized, that if I sold all of my Canon gear, I could actually afford a modern and technically advances Sony mirrorless camera that did everything I was seeking.<\/p>\n

So, after 25 years with Canon<\/a>, I did just that. I sold all my Canon cameras and all of the Canon gear I’d collected over the years and bought a Sony Alpha a7iii and a couple of lenses.<\/p>\n

The first lens I purchases was a Sony 85mm 1.8 — known for being sharp. I then posted a casting in which I would do a shoot with just that lens.<\/p>\n

That’s how I met Blanca. We met on an overcast day at Torrey Pines State Park and proceeded to shoot on the beach trails.<\/p>\n

That’s when I realized I don’t like being limited by an 85mm (although it’s good practice), but I really do love working with Sony cameras — with their crazy user interfaces and all.<\/p>\n
