Some Truth about the Man

My photo
Nick's developed his own style over the years, a dark style with heavy shadows, the movement is spared resulting in a haunting, dramatic effect in his work. Nick almost exclusively uses old school film era Takumar lenses...ask Nick why, he'd love to tell you..

"Funerals are Great for Kids" by NKW


Kid at a Funeral, originally uploaded by NickWeiler.

Six year old Baylor sitting in a chair at a funeral home, as far from his great uncle's as possible. An unconscious but extremely justified seating choice for the little guy. Death is scary and confusing, especially when you're 6.

What's his deal?

"Cool Glasses" by NKW - I was sitting behind this guy eating my turkey-mushroom-swiss with Ashley when I started daydreaming about what this guy possibly did for a living, how cool it is that he likes Ale-8-1 and….where did he get his cool glasses…(Shot w/Canon t4i w/pentax 50mm F1.4 lens)

"Howard's Hands" by NKW - My dear friend and mentor Howard McKenzie, aka "Howard", "Mac", "Sonny", "Colonel", "Captain", or "Howard Franklin" seated at the metal detector greeting clerks and lawyers as they enter the courthouse. His nickname and vocation have changed through the years, however his reputation has remained steadfast and true. He knows everyone's name, remembers everyone's troubles at home because he cares. His hands reflect who he is as a man, sharp, clean, warm, strong and wise, they just don't make em' like that anymore, I'm honored to call him my friend. The photography tips he teaches me are priceless. Frankly I learn volumes about life just watching him interact with people, he reminds of my own father… (shot w/Canon t4i w/50mm F1.4 lens)

The holy trinity of the grocer's world.... Boar's Head Meats, Fine Stinky Cheeses, and some super-fresh Bread from Sunrise Bakery. (Fine Stinky is not an actual brand name but rather a type of cheese I enjoy)... Shot w/Canon 600D

Orange U Different?


Orange U Different?, originally uploaded by NickWeiler.

Yes. I am different. I see the world in a weird way. I shoot fireworks in a weird way. Hope you like it. Frankly I'm a little tired of seeing everything in my own way, it causes problems with my interactions with other humans.

This is my rig for shooting racehorses, I can zoom right in and get a tight shot at a distance. This is a Lumix G1 with Takumar 210mm f4 lens (cropped censor doubles focal length and costs me an f-stop)
