A Quiet Place of One's Own

After a long hiatus, I finally had some time to edit some footage from a recent trip to Annapolis, Maryland. It was just me and my camera exploring this beautiful, historic town on foot. A lovely day of quietly documenting life in the pandemic era. Yes, we are still in the midst of it, but we are all coping our best. Hope everyone is doing well and enjoying the summer!

Farewell Fujifilm X-E1

For about a year now, I’ve been on the hunt for a compact Fujifilm camera. I’ve been eyeing both the X100V (to replace the one I gifted to my nephew) and the X-E4 as my everyday & travel camera. The X100V has been hard to find online or in stores due to perhaps Japan’s chip shortage? I decided to rent the X-E4 and the Fujifilm XF 27mm f/2.8 R WR pancake lens instead to try out. Together they somewhat resemble my X100V (which I love so much). But after playing with this combo for a few days, I realized it is not quite what I was hoping for. The reason why will surprise you!

Thank you for the lovely time we spent together, X-E1!
