Went out to Sachuest again this morning. For whatever reason I really like it there. I think it has to do with it’s rocky beaches, but also with it’s variety as there are the big rocks with waves crashing as well as beaches and some wildlife. We had 5 guys there again this morning enjoying […]

Just got a few things in today. Moo cards are something I’d heard of before coming from flickr. They’re actually an independent company that just has the ability to use your flickr images to make cards (that’s how I did these). They’re from London but have a US “base” that just happens to be in […]

Elias got to meet Santa finally! He’s been saying “Ho Ho Ho!!!” every time he’s seen one for a few weeks now, but his daycare had “breakfast with Santa” Saturday morning. It was a fun event where we all had breakfast and they had Santa there ready to take requests. Elias wasn’t ready to sit […]

Went back to Sachuest Point again today. There are a lot of shooting options there and we “scouted” a few last weekend I wanted to get back to. We had 6 guys there today which was great with another new guy to the group (a friend who’d just never gotten up with us before) and […]

Well we had our third thanksgiving today. 2 weeks ago was with my photo friends at our house, last week was with Nikki’s family, then tonight we went over to my parents to catch up after their delivery south, so my mom figured why not cook a turkey?! Which was of course amazing and I’m […]

Went to Sachuest Point this morning for the sunrise. The weather was terrible, it rained on us enough I only took ~10 shots the entire morning. We had a great group from my forum though, 5 guys for the first time in a long time. We ended up walking to the north end w/o cameras […]

Made it out for another NSOP sunrise this morning. This time we went to a new spot in Sakonnet RI. It’s a bit of a drive considering it’s still in the same tiny state (but I do have to drive though Mass to get there), but it is a very interesting location. For some reason […]

This week was pretty much awesome. I got to ski last weekend, and we started this week with leftovers from last weekends Thanksgiving day w/my photo friends. So I had awesome lunches all week and “all week” was only three days! Thursday was Thanksgiving at the plumbs which was awesome as usual. Friday we went […]

Well this weekend was very entertaining!!! Nikki had her Bday party at the Plumbs with Pat and Russell on Friday night. I said 34th because there was a type-o on the cake! But I’m sure that’ll come up again at some point… Then I went skiing on Saturday for the first time of the year. […]

I finally decided on a raid enclosure. I’d been looking at a few different options but in the end it came down to the reviews and the websites. Drobo has NOTHING negative written about it anywhere (that’s not operator error at least). They also CALLED ME directly after I emailed them a few questions. This […]

Finally decided on a new bag. After MUCH hemming and hawing (is that even how you spell that?) I went with the Tamrac Adventure 4. It’s also called the 5534 and can be found here. It’s looking like a good decision. The only 2 issues I see with it right now are that it’s just a […]

I guess it’s about time I make it official and put a shot/post about this on the gear blog. I’ve officially switched to Nikon. When my 5Dii drowned in August I realized I could use that opportunity to try a D700. It’s the camera I wish canon would make, but they refuse to for whatever reason. It […]

Went for my first NSOP sunrise shoot in a few weeks due to my cold. It was an OK morning at Hazard… the sun never really showed up and there weren’t even any good clouds as I’d hoped, but the waves certainly showed up! I’d checked the surf report throughout the weekend and it was […]

Well we’re all starting to feel a bit better! I’m still coughing a bit with a tickle in my throat, but it’s more annoying than an issue/cold. Elias and Nikki are both better as well. This weekend was a bit of a disapointment though as it rained ALL DAY yesterday. I stayed home with Elias […]
