This morning I woke up, sipped my morning coffee, and chatted about upcoming Christmas shopping chaos on the couch with my GF. Suddenly, I received an Instagram notification on my phone from @FujifilmX_US. To my complete surprise they they had shared one of my photos from a Manhattan Beach, CA pier photo excursion. Of course, like anyone would I jumped off the couch and ran around the house in celebration.
Photo Featured: Sunday’s Sunset | Manhattan Beach, CA | Fujifilm X-T3 XF55-200mmF3.5-4.8 LM OIS 1/550 sec. - f5.6 - ISO 160
There was (and still is) an opportunity to submit photos for them to post to their Insta for their #MyFujifilmLegacy series, and honestly - I didn’t think I had a shot at being featured. I figured there are hundred’s of AWESOME photographers submitting and I’d just be another one to sift through. I’m shocked and honored they chose my photo to be featured. Nothing feels better than getting a little recognition by the company who created the device you use to craft your art!

Photography has been and always will be a passion for me. I love just taking my X-T3 out wherever I go and look for opportunities to shoot. Instagram has been a great platform to share on - and the Fujifilm community has been welcoming and informative whether it’s on Reddit, Youtube or Insta. I still feel like there’s a lot to learn - and there’s always room to improve. But as a starting point, for me, this is pretty damn cool. Thanks to you all & Fujifilm for the support! Much love & stay creative!
