Yesterday I dropped off a framed photograph that was accepted into this exhibition. If you find yourself near Vermillion between July 10 and August 7, please come check it out, there's going to be some amazing art there! And if you can make it to the closing reception, I'll see you there!

Good news! www.dakotanewsnow.com/2026/04/01/s...

I love Reggie's Portra recipe, and now he's got a new one, Reggie's Superia. Please note, neither recipe pretends to mimic either Kodak Porta or Fuji Superia film, rather they're versatile recipes that merely evoke the general vibe of those film stocks. youtu.be/rHeIWWcOUwI?...

Minolta X-700 with MC 58mm f/1.4 wide open. Nailed focus, thankyouverymuch.

Sioux Falls is home to a vibrant immigrant community, with all of the benefits thereof. To reflect this diversity, I actively seek people from the immigrant community to join my project, as well as those from Indigenous and African American populations. www.serge.photography/sioux-falls-...

Farewell to a Sioux Falls photography icon. Take lots of pictures in heaven, Bill Pay.

My submissions to the Art of Music charitable event last night.

These are the images I submitted to the 2025 NTD 5th International Photography Competition, Category B: Nature and Landscape. Titles and descriptions in alt text.

I'm happy to report that my submission to "The Same Coin" has been selected for inclusion in the upcoming exhibition!

Absolutely killer film recipe. Straight out of camera JPEG, zero editing (except for border and watermark). #fujix100v #sooc

Got best of show at a local gallery for the theme "Playful Reflection".

LinkTree is great and all, but I have a website, so why am I paying $5/mo to host links when I can host my own? I took care of this about a month go. Keeping the LinkTree alive for a bit longer so people with old business cards can still use the QR code, but ready to phase this out soon.

While offering feedback on some images to a young photographer I'm mentoring, I came upon a great article about histograms—an important tool that a lot of people are unnecessarily intimidated by. It just needs a good explanation, as provided here: digital-photography-school.com/how-to-read-...

A glorious sunny day for a walk in the neighborhood, tempered only by an icy breeze, but good enough for photography. Playing around with a new recipe in my Fuji X100V, "Dark Diary High Contrast". These are straight out of camera #sooc with no adjustments other than adding the watermark.

This is the "Dark Diary" recipe with my Helios 44-2 lens. This black and white recipe is very high contrast. Recipe: www.shuttergroove.com/fujifilm-rec... #fujifilm #blackandwhite #filmrecipe

I use a Square terminal for my photography sales and also take PayPal and Venmo, so I get regular emails about point-of-sale solutions, but I have yet to see "POS" in a subject line and not read it as something completely different.

Playing around with a custom Fuji recipe I came up with some years ago, and that I recently rediscovered. Fuji X100V | WCL100II | Cinebloom 5% Straight out of camera #sooc

I learned two new things today: 1. A warming filter can take the cool edge off Instax film (one of my pet peeves and the reason I also shoot Polaroid) 2. Instax film dgaf about temperature so I can shoot right now (I'm keeping my i-2 in the bag until spring) youtu.be/ZpmIwHyNMBM?...

On such a gorgeous day (53ºF and sunny) it would have been a crime not to go out and take a few photos in my neighborhood. Fuji X100V | WCL100II | Cinebloom 5% Straight out of camera #sooc

Follow my buddy and fellow photog Matt. He's also a talented watercolor artist, and an all-around excellent human being.

I really like this guy. youtu.be/xSGYm_DMOpo?...

Wait... Why am I paying LinkTree $5/month for a starter account when I already have a website I can just create a /links page on? serge.photography/links

At a spry 98, photographer Bill Pay is a true Sioux Falls treasure. He regaled us with stories from his 80+ yr career in photography. He was gracious & generous with his time, and even consented to a photograph. As I took time composing this shot he quipped, "Take the shot, I might die of old age."

Pinning this for later. shellzine.net/cyberpunk-35...

This is far and away the most important video Chris has ever published on his YouTube channel, and indeed one of the most important videos I've seen from any photographer. Regardless of what kind of photography you're into, I invite you—nay, urge you—to watch it, and watch it all the way through.

Okay, NOW I'm interested. www.fujirumors.com/intriguing-f...

"Once a photographer is convinced that … the vast majority of photographs are camera lies … half the battle is won. Once he has conceded that … striving for naturalism in a photograph is futile, he can turn his attention to using a camera to make more effective pictures." — Andreas Feininger
