Some famous, some not. The human face ... always fascinating.

An eclectic batch of favorites, changing often.

All photos in this gallery were shot with the amazing Fuji X100T camera. #X100T

These images were all shot with a unique lens, the Edge 80 (by Lensbaby). It is an 80mm tilt lens (like a tilt-shift lens with no shift function). It allows you to move the plane or "slice" of focus in any plane or direction through the image field. So, you can have something in the near foreground in focus, even shooting wide open at f/2.8, and something in the far distance in focus too. You can follow a fence line for example, and have it all in focus near to far in a "slice", something impossible with any lense other than a perspective control (PC) lens or view camera with swings and tilts.

NEW SERIES – Will be featuring artists and artisans and their work.
