Shallow depth of field photograph modeling a canon body and hand knit fingerless gloves

I don’t like mail. It’s antiquated, burdensome, and resource intensive. Last week I liked mail. My dear friend ifmidnight sent over a pair of bad ass fingerless gloves she knit custom made for me! Spoiled much? While I was out in California visiting this past September she took my measurements and set to work. Fast […]

Square format photograph of cross processed purple coneflowers with rich bokeh and shallow depth of field

I like the shallow depth of field. — Greg Molyneux (@gregmolyneux) July 12, 2015 It was just this past Sunday I dropped such deep knowledge on the Twitters. Insert very strong sarcasm.

Soft Spot

50mm shallow depth of field photograph of rain soaked daffodils

After a toddling period of crash course trial and error in the early days of 2012, flower photography quickly established itself as my go-to comfort spot behind the camera.

Meet Mack, Beagle Bulldog Puppy Mix Master

February 3, 2015 by Greg Molyneux

An adorable low key black and white portrait photograph of a Beagle-British Bulldog puppy mix named Mack, with a red 'Angry Birds' squeak toy between his paws.

Female canines you have been put on notice. This little guy’s just about as cute as can be, and he’s got the smooth disposition to match. I mean just look at that furrowed brow and those eyes. This is one awesome dog. While I regret to inform you Mack is not my own, he is, […]

June 4, 2014 by Greg Molyneux

A cross processed macro photograph of a pink peony as it opens to the world. This cross processed picture is cast in a pinkish hue highlighted by beautiful bokeh and the shadows of flora.
