Jackals,
As you know, I use me a bit of good old Fujifilm. I have and use four of their beloved cameras. XH2, XH2s, X100V, stolen by my wife, and the X100VI. I use other brands, too. Heck, I’ve got Fujis, Nikons, Leicas, Voigtlanders, Holgas, and more. Loyalist, I am not. I love making pictures, telling stories, etc, and I’ll use whatever tool best fits what I’m after. I’ve always been this way, well, since I had enough money to buy a thing or two. I’ve also been gifted numerous cameras over the years. The Voigtlanders, film bodies, came with a custom underwater housing. I used it in a shark cage off Haleiwa. So, in turn, I’ve gifted cameras to others. One of my Hasselblads, two Nikon F6s. Just handed over to young photographers with a slight push, “Here, go make something.” One thing I pride myself on is not being greedy. Share, and share again. Knowledge, kit, hook kicks.
Fujifilm, being the progressive company they are, reached out to Uncle Danno to ask if he would share his process for going from the field to print. I said, “Tell me when and where.” They came back with this, and then they added this. For those of you with New York tendencies, you can come and heckle me. I’ll still share what I know. Going to print is an essential part of coming full circle as a photographer. Posting only to the digital space is okay, many operate this way, but I feel this methodology doesn’t help in the long run. Print forces decision making. Decision making makes us better creatives.

Got our hotel today!

Ha, I thought I might see you!
Hi Daniel, do you know, for us not able to attend, if there is going to be a video afterwards? Or maybe a live online link to watch? Thank you.

From what I know, they will record and release at a later date.
Hi Dan. Just got back from the seminar at B&H today (I was the guy in the front row with the “Back to the Future” hair). I thought it was going to be a techie talk (click here, move this slider this way…). But it was so much more. Thanks so much. I hope our paths will cross again soon.

Hey Tom, thanks for coming and I’m glad it was more than you expected. I’m not techie at all…
Forgot to tell you about a funny exchange between me and the wife while she was looking for hotel rooms for that night:
Wife: jeez hotel rooms are really expensive that night and it’s a Tuesday.
Me: Dan is in town. He’s a huge draw!
Five minutes go by.
Wife: or maybe the fact that Bon Jovi is playing at MSG!
Thought it was funny

Yes. I would assume Bon Jovi is the bigger draw…but ONLY because he’s from Jersey.
