Got some new toys from B&H today. Basically I sold off the 16-35II and flipped it for a brand new 17-40 (yes another, don’t remind me!!!) and some accessories I’ve needed for a while. Part of my issue with the 16-35II was the filter size being 82mm… So I was on the fence for getting […]

Elias keeps growing and growing! He’s closer to crawling, and has this scooting thing down pretty well at this point. He’s also starting to push himself up onto all 4s a lot more now. He and Mo are getting to be good friends. Well, maybe I should say Elias LOVES watching/touching Mo, and Mo puts […]

I must admit, I’ve lived in (or very close to) Jamestown since 1991, but I had never been to the Fools Rules Regatta. I knew about it, I knew Chris Powell was the “chief fool” (he runs the regatta) and I knew the basics. I’d just always had other commitments the day of the event […]

Well I sold the leica a few weeks ago and was planning on waiting for the new P&Ss at photkina in september… But then I found out about canon’s loyalty program. If you have an old non working canon camera, you call them and you get a few options in terms of refurbished cameras for […]

I’m selling both my 420EXs and my ST-E2. I rarely use flashes at all, so having this stuff sitting around is a waste for me. I also was traded a 580EX II (and cash) for my Leica so I’m keeping the 580II and selling all my old flash gear. I’ll have these for sale on […]

Well Elias can officially move himself around now. Not far (yet) but he can scoot on his belly across his blanket on the floor. He’s now chasing down the toys he’s most interested in including Moseley! Mo has been very good with Elias. The only issue so far is he loves to lick Elias including […]

Elias is getting bigger and more coordinated by the minute it seems. He’s not crawling, but we fear that’s around the corner. He can maneuver himself around the floor pulling himself along with his arms if he’s on a blanket, and he can continually roll himself over to get to things. It’s fun to watch, […]

Elias seems to be growing and growing every day lately. We’re working on feeding him real food. He doesn’t seem to love it, but he does it about half of what goes in (the other half comes back out onto his bib). We’ve been doing rice cereal, but this week we’ve tried sweet potatoes and […]

Why fishkabobs? Because it’s a fisheye on a stick! Just having some fun with the camera, Nikki, Elias, and Moseley in the backyard tonight after work. The stick is the tripod because I’m testing an idea for a monopod, but it’s all I have right now. I was basically shooting these shots from ~6′ away […]

Well 20 weeks at least. It’s been another fun, eventful week around the house with Elias. He’s getting more coordinated every day. He can now grab things as he wants. He can take is nuk out and put it back in (upside down most of the time though). He’s rolling over every which way now […]

Panasonic announced a new P&S I’m very interested in. It’s the Lumix DMC-LX3 which is an update to the LX2. The LX2 is the pannasonic version of my Leica D-Lux 3… It’s improvements are LESS MP, a LARGER sensor and a 24-60mm f/2.0 lens. So I’d lose a tad on the long end, but I’d […]

Another week, another update! (Yes, the third in 2 days, but for those not checking regularly, they won’t know ) This past week Elias has been learning some more new tricks. Over these past 2 updates he’s learned to sleep w/o being swaddled and he’s learned to eat from a spoon… Well his newest trick […]
