Gross!!!!!!!

12 Sep ’07 by Ben

OK, file this under the nasty things department… When we were down on my parents boat over the Christmas/New Year holiday this winter I bumped my forearm on something while diving. I got a small cut on my arm and never thought anything of it. Well in the last month or so it felt a […]

New Lens: Canon 50mm f/1.4

11 Sep ’07 by Ben

Upgraded my 50mm f/1.8 to a 50mm f/1.4.  The main reason is for the AF and the build on the USM version.  Nifty is great for $75, but the f/1.4 is a much better lens all around.

We’re working on selling our Viper 830. We want to get into something a bit smaller to facilitate rigging and sailing with less people. The 830 requires at least 2 people to rig and or sail and a truck to move due to it’s 2,200lb weight. The Viper 640 is one of the top options […]

Welcome to the blog portion of benjacobsenphoto.com

8 Sep ’07 by Ben

Well I’ve finally managed to integrate my gallery2 site with a wordpress blog. I was trying to use the plugin that would handle everything for me, but I couldn’t get it working. What I ended up doing is editing the themes I’m using for both the blog and gallery2 so they match. It’s not perfect, […]

Labor Day weekend fun

4 Sep ’07 by Ben

Well we had a wonderful 3 day weekend. It’s the “end of the summer” weekend, so there was a lot of work to be done, but we also had some fun too. Friday night was a fun get together in MA with one of Nikki’s great friends. I was a bit of the “odd man […]

Seal Point

30 Aug ’07 by Ben

Nikki and I went for a nice walk with Moseley tonight at Seal Point. If you’ve never been there before, it’s called Seal Point because (in the winter) it’s where the seals hang out. It’s also an awesome point in Narragansett Bay with gorgeous views. I also got a picture of Nikki looking a little […]

Baby Update:

29 Aug ’07 by Ben

Another month, another doctor’s appointment. It’s the end of the first trimester officially now. Nikki’s starting to show enough so people who don’t know her might guess it… We’re starting the 13th week today. We heard the baby’s heart beat for the first time today which was incredible. It’s heart rate was 160bpm which is […]

Vanguard/Laser SB3!

Well it was in sailing world in the spring. And as a subscriber to UK’s Yachting World I’ve read all about them at Cowes week. I’ve gone as far as to fill in my US address into the UK VW Touareg site in order to get a DVD on them (it worked!)… Well they are […]

Back from Vermont.

20 Aug ’07 by Ben

We made it home… Not that that should be a surprise… Anyway, I’ll be posting more images later, but we had a fantastic trip. We finally got to meet Linnea’s Mom and had a wonderful time catching up with Linnea, meeting her Mom, and Matthew. We also got a chance to go to Shelburne Museum […]

Yeah, so here we are playing with Linnea’s MacBook. Or at least the macbook that’s here on the desk. It’s late Saturday night or maybe it’s already Sunday AM. We’re getting caught up over online image galleries (isn’t the internet wonderful?!). I’ll be sure to post more on Monday (night) with all the images of […]

Off to Vermont!

17 Aug ’07 by Ben

We’re going up to Vermont to visit a great friend Linnea this weekend. I “grew up” in upstate NY so I’ve spent a lot of time in the area, but I don’t think I’ve been back to that neck of the woods in summer since 1991. I can’t wait to go back. We’re planning on […]

10 Weeks!

1 Aug ’07 by Ben

Went to the doctor for another checkup. Pregnancy really is amazing. We’re 10 weeks pregnant now. We’re both very excited about the whole process. It’s been a great learning experience for us so far. We both have several friends that have beaten us “to the punch” so we’ve learned a lot through them and have […]

NexGen Gallery Test…

27 Jul ’07 by Ben

I’m really liking the NexGen gallery software. It seems easy enough to use and I can insert pictures alone, or as a gallery. Here’s an old gallery from my Pbase account that I added recently of some great old shots from our wedding and honeymoon:
