Ugh, Elias had croup. He woke up late Friday night (almost midnight) barking/coughing like a seal… It’s nothing too serious but the medication for it is a steroid that causes mood swings and irritability (among other things, but we’ve seen both of those). He does NOT have an ear infection though, so apparently that issue […]

Got up early this morning and went to Sachuest with Eric. It was 9 degrees out and there weren’t many clouds so it was work to get some shots to make getting up worthwhile. I’m trying to get ~45 sunrises this year, so I didn’t want to miss one this early in the season.

ugh, just got back from my parents house after watching the pack lose. At least they showed up, but to have them lose in OT was a bit rough to watch. Of course that came after watching the Pats lose miserably. Like REALLY bad. As for the rest of the week, I went skiing yesterday […]

Happy New Year everyone! It’s been another great year for us. Elias is getting more and more fun all the time. Photographically I’ve finished off another PAD project (photo a day) with almost all of the shots being taken of my favorite subject, ELIAS! I’ve also managed to update the blog 97 times in a […]

Last year I learned about GND (gradual Neutral Density) filters. I had owned a set for a while but never really used them. I then went on my first group shoot with my own photo forum and everyone had theirs in use that morning so I pulled mine out of the bag and was blown […]

Went on the first landscape shoot of 2010. It was crap weather but I figured I’d go anyway as I’m trying for 45+ landsapes this year (I shot 39 in 2009) and didn’t want to miss the very first weekend. We actually had 5 guys in the group this morning as most felt the same […]

Went down and shot another Sakonnet Point sunrise this morning. I figured I’d get one last sunrise in for 2009 (this is something like 35 for the year!). Andy also had the day off so he and I had a good time shooting for a few hours before the snow rolled in (on the drive […]

Got out for a sunset today. Decided to try Hulls Cove in Jamestown as I’d been there for a few sunrises and knew there was potential. I also stopped by the Conanicut Marina dock in Jamestown on the way home and snagged a shot of the dock office I’d been after. All in all a […]

I’m trying to force myself to get back into flash photography again. I had to take studio photography in school and never really liked it. I’ve owned flashes various times but avoid using them whenever possible. But I LOVE the look the guys who make light work for them can get, so I’ve decided to […]

Merry Christmas Everyone! Obviously that was 2 days ago, but we were racing around town visiting people, having Santa visit our house, and having some of Nikki’s friends over throughout the last couple of days so it’s been a but hectic. We had a very nice Christmas with some great gifts amongst the adults while […]

Went out shooting again this morning. Didn’t tell anyone where I was going as I needed some solo time to think about some things. I decided to go to Taylor Point in Jamestown as it’s got a great view of the bridge and is reasonably close to home (less than 30 minutes -vs- 45+ for […]

This is more for fun than anything else, but I figured I’d share it. I setup my tripod in my backseat for the drive home from Sachuest Monday night and took a few shots. It’s easier than it looks really, it’s just set to Av and f/5.6 and it’s pea brain does the rest of […]

I decided to try to get some snowy sunset shots yesterday. Everything was against me on this shoot. I got behind a few slow cars on the way there after mistakenly thinking it’d take the same amount of time to get there at 3:30pm as it does first thing in the morning. It’s in fact […]

Went back to stepping stone falls today to shoot something interesting in the cold with all the new snow we received Sunday (~18″ with much deeper drifts). Had a great time shooting in some difficult light. The color shots at the end have descriptions under them.

Well I know this is a day late, sorry for that. I just got asked to do a bus trip on Sunday which messed up our entire weekend schedule. We ended up going to my parents for Christmas Dinner as they’re off the SLC and Telluride CO for actual Christmas. We had a great time […]
