Morning in Blue & Gold
Finally made it out this morning for sunrise – another of those hectic weeks where I didn’t get a camera in my hands for far too long and it left me feeling blah. In a strange approximation to guilt, I got up even earlier this morning to atone, heading out to Ford’s before the sun [...]
Simple Clicks 02/21
Some more simple shots, taken with the SX-120 (last two with 7D). The idea here is to see colors/shapes/patterns/potential in unlikely, unexpected everyday things, and take a photo. It’s as much for the same of using my eye and the camera as anything, and while I wouldn’t go so far as to call these art, [...]
NEPA Snow Day
Today was a snow day and almost everything in NEPA shut down. We ended up with around 6″, maybe a little more – good fluffy snow, although it was starting to get heavy and wet by the time I ventured out for the second round of shoveling. The roads were too bad for any outings, [...]
Amazing models & photos
This one came up in the DPChallenge forums; one of the members there found Michael Paul Smith’s photo stream “Photos of my models.” My first thought had been models, as in, people posing for photos. What Mr. Smith has put together is – at least in my opinion – even cooler. This is a photo [...]
Fords in the afternoon
With rain forecast for Sunday, Saturday afternoon was spent back out doors, up at Fords with my photography buddy Paul & his wife, Chris. The plan was mostly to enjoy the sunshine and hopefully come across some birds, although they few that were there played a winning game of hide-and-seek until we finally gave up [...]
Best of 2009
Happy New Year!
With 2009 now officially behind us, I’ve taken a moment to look back across my body of work in the past year and pull some favorites. The photos that follow are those shots that I like the best – chosen for technical accuracy, subject interest, and overall aesthetic. I also want to note [...]
Happy Christmas
Happy Christmas to all! I hope that everybody is able to, at least for a little while today, be with good friends and/or family. And of course, be sure to take photographs so you can share the story of your holiday.
For me, it’s been a long-overdue lazy day filled with family, movies, lounging around, and [...]
Christmas Eve
Home with the family for Christmas Eve, enjoying goodies and the tree as snow falls outside. Some simple shots highlighting the details; cookies with the SX120 and the tree and ornaments with the 7D+50mm.
Cookies Baking
‘Tis the Christmas season – in fact just days away from the big morning itself – and so my apartment’s tiny kitchen was a spot of frenzied activity this afternoon as Mandy baked up a storm. I missed the first batch of cookies, and was editing photos whole she moved from cookies to bread.
If we [...]
Frederick the Duck
Frederick the Duck is an old friend from last year, who any longer-term readers should recognize. He made featured photos several times last winter, since his unique situation makes him a perfect subject.
Frederick is a domestic duck living at a nearby park. I’m not sure how he got there, but he isn’t able to leave, [...]
