Hi ,

Sorry I've been incommunicado for the past couple weeks. It's been pretty busy around here, and with nothing but blazing sunshine here in Anchorage lately... well, we just have to take that when we can get it. 

In other news, it was exactly one year ago yesterday when I crashed my bike and tore my rotator cuff. If you followed me through all that, then you know how much the ensuing surgery and aftermath impacted my life in the past twelve months. 

Thanks again for all the wonderful support I received from so many of you as I was working through my recovery.

Anyway, I uploaded another YouTube Short today, called What Are Your Most Used X Series Lenses?

In this bite-sized, 60 second video I share with you some of my favorite Fujifilm X Series lenses and show you some classic examples of how I use them. It's basically one minute of inspiration.

As I said with the last one I made which was how to create more compelling landscapes, I really like this short format, because you can digest it right away and get on with the rest of your day. And, since they play full screen on your phone, you can watch it pretty much anywhere. Just don't watch it while you're driving and texting. ;)

Anyway, enjoy the video and let me know in the comment section if any of these lenses are among your favorites too!
