Newton Road V
Went back to Newton for another sunrise. Yes, this is at least the fifth time, but it just doesn’t get old for some reason. It was a super low tide so I was able to make it out to the outer rocks w/o much issue. I was also playing with a new 12mm lens which…

Elias sleeps over on avalanche!!!
Well Elias and I had an awesome weekend, as did Nikki, but not with “the boys”! Nikki went with her parents and brother and had an awesome trip to NYC to see a yankees game. I went with my parents and took Elias out on avalanche for a “dry run”… We stayed on the mooring…

New Gear; Tenba Insert/DIY backpack!
Well I’ve been working on another DIY bag project lately. I’ve used nothing but shoulder bags for a long time now, but with the lenses I’ve been carrying around they aren’t ideal all the time. So I’ve been wanting a backpack/sling bag to help distribute the load, but keep my gear within a quick unzip…

Point Judith II
Well this was my first sunrise since the 4 in a row on vacation. It was great to get out there again. The sunrise was OK, the sun itself was pretty rad, but then as soon as it was light enough the surfers started piling into the water. That made it a bit more interesting…

EAJ 71 week update!
Well we had a lovely and busy weekend this weekend! Friday night was the annual Portuguese feast over at the Portsmouth Portuguese American Club. It’s right up the street from Debbie and Andy’s house so every year we go over and walk up for some great food, great music, and a fun time. This year…

Midweek update!
Yeah, rare, I know… I realized tonight (while showing off Elias pics to the ladies at the blood center) that I didn’t process or post these pics of Elias at the beach at the end of vacation. There’s also 3 images in there from last nights sunset that I caught after sailing. There’s also a…

Bag: Lowe Pro Top Load Zoom!
I can’t believe I don’t have a post on this yet? Anyway, this is the holster bag I ski with. It’s not perfect, but it’s really good. The strap system sucks, but not bad enough I’ve replaced it yet (which would be pretty easy). It works as needed.

Newport Regatta?
Well I hope everyone else’s weekend went as well as mine. I got a call last week while on vacation from Justin Scott. He’s the Viper 640 class president. I’d sailed with him twice before when we were picking which 20′ sportboat was right for us, and he was considering sailing in the Newport Regatta,…

4th of July 2009!
OR, vacation’s almost over? Yeah, it’s Sunday and work starts tomorrow. Vacation FLEW by waaaaaaay too fast this summer. The weather was pretty terrible most of the week (basically until Friday) so we didn’t get to do some of the fun things we’d planned. I did get out and shoot 4 sunrises on Wednesday, Thursday,…

Newton Road IV:
Made it 4 for 4 sunrises Saturday morning. I ended up meeting up with Dave from Flickr and he wanted to shoot Newton for his first time since high school. So off we went. It’s my fourth time down there recently but I don’t mind as there’s always plenty of new shots to try out…

Narragansett Beach:
Well it’s now 3 in a row for “sunrises”, but unfortunately it’s 2 in a row for not actually ever seeing the sun. I decided to try Narragansett beach on for size and it was fun. It meant I got to walk the length of the beach in order to get to where I wanted…

Point Judith Lighthouse.
Well, so far I’m 2 for 2 in waking up for the rest of the week. I decided today to go try Point Judith light. It’s a nice looking lighthouse right on the south western corner of the bay. It was a pretty gray moring w/o a good sunrise (I had to check my watch…

Hazard Road III:
We’re on vacation this week, and I came to the realization last night that I’d be more fun to go to sleep early (with Nikki) and wake up early (3:30am) and get some more sunrise shots this week. So I’m going to try to get a sunrise every morning for the rest of the week,…
