So I follow a bunch of Photographers over on Google+, one of them being Brian Matiash. Brian had a post recently where he stated he found it very challenging to stop and smell the roses. Since Brian’s post was illustrated with a view towards Otter Cliff, Acadia, Maine, I decided to illustrate this post with a view from the other side of the headland, Otter Cove. Brian’s post was interesting because I found myself agreeing with him. I normally run-and-gun […]
Back in March of this year, my wife took a business trip to Miami, Florida and I tagged along for a break. We thought the hotels were a bit pricey when booking them but didn’t realize till we pulled up in front of the Betsy Ross Hotel that we’d picked a Spring Break week! Thankfully, the Betsy was not a Spring Breakers hotel so our stay was quite pleasant. One of the things I particularly like about winter is that […]
So as we come to the end of the year, Scott Kelby posted his annual holiday gear guide so I thought I’d present mine. Like Scott, all of the items here are items I personally have used this year. Unlike Scott’s list, each one of these items costs less than $100.

So I’d planned to write this post about the USS Cavalla, on display in Seawolf Park, Galveston, Texas, accompanied by a series of photos but I just didn’t get around to it.

Production Data Camera: Canon EOS 5D Mark II (B&H) Battery Grip: Canon BG-E6 Battery Grip (B&H) Lens: Canon 24-105mm f/4L IS USM AF Lens (B&H) Processing: Lightroom 3 […]
On October 19, 2011, Ren Ng and his team at Lytro ushered in a new era in photography with the introduction of the Lytro Light Field Camera. What’s so revolutionary? The fact that you can refocus the picture AFTER you’ve taken it. If you visit the Picture Gallery page on the Lytro website you can play with some images to see how this works. Initially the software that supports this revolutionary camera will be available for Mac only but a […]
For the Fallen, by Robret Laurance Binyon With proud thanksgiving, a mother for her children, England mourns for her dead across the sea. Flesh of her flesh they were, spirit of her spirit, Fallen in the cause of the free. Solemn the drums thrill; Death august and royal Sings sorrow up into immortal spheres, There is music in the midst of desolation And a glory that shines upon our tears. They went with songs to the battle, they were young, […]
