Sakonnet
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…

Thanksgiving and Nikki’s 32nd!
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…

NSOPgiving 2009 and Nikki’s 34th Bday!!!
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. …

New Gear: drobo!
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…

Tamrac Adventure 4 messenger video review:
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…

Nikon Family Photo!
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…

Ida!!!
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…

EAJ week 87 update!
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…

bag shopping
I’m daydreaming about new bags again. The issue is my new nikkor zooms are just slightly longer than their canon counterparts I had previously (24-70 nikkor -vs- 24-105 canon and 14-24 nikkor -vs- any of my old UWA zooms). This presents a problem with my Boda as I used to store one of those zooms…

ugh, cough cough…
ugh, we can’t seem to catch a break around here. First, Elias and Nikki were sick 2 weekends ago. Nikki had a sore throat Sunday but that was it. Elias had a small cough and ended up with an ear infection (not his first or last, just a PITA with antibiotics). Well then I caught…

Carnegie Abbey IV
The weather finally co-operated so Spencer and I could get over to the Carnegie Abbey site for one final series for his proposal. He wanted strong shadows on the courtyard so we needed to shoot before noon but also on a day without a lot of clouds. Being fall in New England it took almost…

Atlantic V
Ralph and I got out shooting again last Thursday. We shot a beautiful remodel down in Newport. Atlantic basically redid the entire downstairs (kitchen, living room, dining room and bath) as well as the upstairs bedroom and spare room. We also got around to a kitchen Atlantic remodeled in Middletown:

Happy Halloween!
Well, for those of you who thought you were missing the pictures in yesterday’s (new theme) update, the new theme announcement was the ENTIRE update! So here’s a normal new update so you can see what they will look like from now on. As for what happened this week, it was Halloween obviously, but I…

New Theme!!!
I finally decided to get a new theme for the blog. I’m sure you noticed as there are no more words on the main page of the blog and you have to click the most recent image to get to the actual posts! If you’re reading this, you’ve obviously figured it out, but PLEASE leave…
