Daily Practice - September 5, 2025, Leo Carrillo Beach

GFX100RF, mostly candids taken with intentional XPan crop. One environmental portrait.

Daily Practice - inspired by review of images by Saul Leiter and his use of looking through things. I walked upstairs to open the shades and the window, but first I this light and this scene.

Daily Practice … I now hereby commit to a daily practice in photography. Some days it will be about making images integrated into my daily routines of walking, hiking, shopping, cooking, hanging out around the house, etc. Other days it will be about editing, evaluating, and exposing my work to others.

One of the big reasons I bought the FujiFilm GFX100RX is to be able to shoot in an XPan format 65:25. But with that big wide format comes a big challenge, how to fill the space responsibly.

Saturday, August 23, 2025, I walked inside the historic carousel building at the Santa Monic Pier with no expectations. But this day the shot fell into place.

The ‘burbs. A beautiful way to live, but a challenge for the street photographer.

The making of my first handmade book. Japan 2025 - A Cherry Blossom Edition.

Last night, I published my small but newly organized site and I have repointed my domain inancyimages.com to the new site and blog https://www.inancyimages.com

Let me know what you think.

Let me whisk you away on a springtime journey to Central Japan, where famous gardens explode with delicate cherry blossoms. Stroll with me through centuries-old rural towns, rich with history and tradition. Join me in this adventure, where the past and present intertwine, to witness the style and pride of Japanese culture and craftsmanship. 

Lately I’ve begun to think about this collection less in terms of what makes these places stand out, and more in terms of what makes them more alike. So, I have begun to curate a collection Women in the World in their many roles, both close to home and far away.

A common gesture, a small bow while leaving the room. This backward retreat so common in Japan, the common use of sliding doors makes this gesture almost obligatory.

In the multicultural City of Angels, that is Los Angeles, this hispanic dance team of all ages came to participate in the 2025 Chinese New Year parade.
