Sachuest 4.25.2010
Went out before the rain this morning for another landscape at Sachuest. Unfortunately I slept through the watch alarm and ended up being ~15 minutes late, and wouldn’t you know it, as I was walking in the path to an amazing sunrise, it faded before I was even 100′ from the car and left me…

Yeah Sure!!!
Yeah Sure? That’s Elias’ new saying for yes. He’s been using Oh Kay for a while now which was cute, but today he started with Yeah Sure! which brings it to another level of cuteness! This weekend was a pretty good weekend. Saturday was gorgeous and Elias and I got a nice long walk on…

Sling bags reviewed: Incase DSLR Sling and Lowepro classified 220.
I’m a bag whore. I admit it. I’m always looking for a better bag solution for my use and I really like the idea of slings. So I’ve been looking for a sling that I think will work for me and I had it narrowed down to two options, the new lowepro classified series (180…

L-Brackets:
I put this video together very quickly today just to show why L-Brackets are so nice. Yes, they’re expensive, and I know a lot of people wonder what the fuss is about and why you’d want to spend that much money for a clamp and bracket… But I can say it’s one of the few…

Newton Road 4.18.2010
I got lucky this week! I didn’t want to wake up and almost fell back to sleep. Fortunately I did get up and made it down to Narragansett… As I drove down there was some color in the sky, and it was looking OK, but all of a sudden, AFTER I was setup, the sun…

New Gear: OM1!!!
I finally picked up an old school MF only, manual exposure body! A friend found this at a yardsale and actually traded me for a NSOP strap (actually two). It’s perfect because I have the OM to EOS adapter and the 50mm 1.4 already so I can use the new 24mm 2.8 on the 5Dii…

Filters for lenses that can’t take filters…
I’ve been meaning to do this for a while now, but watch the above video, it should clear up any questions anyone has on how to use filters with lenses that “can’t” take filters. But that I mean wide lenses w/o proper threads for filters on the front. The 3 biggest offenders are the sigma…

EAJ 110 week update
We this wraps up a pretty good weekend. The weather wasn’t great Saturday, but we got some yard work done, Nikki ran, I rode my bike, Elias and I took his crib apart, then we went off to Gigi and Pop Pops for dinner which was great. Today I shot the sunrise in the am…

BAP!
I got the opportunity to shoot Brick Alley Pub the other day. They’re working on a new website and wanted to get some images for that. It was interesting being in the restaurant so early no one else was there. Restaurants and bars are NOT easy to shoot though, the lighting is pretty difficult. It was…

Sachuest 4.11.2010
I made it out to Sachuest yesterday morning. I didn’t call the gang because I wasn’t sure if I’d sleep in or not, but I managed to get out of bed and not miss everything… It was a decent sunrise with thick enough clouds I could shoot for a while w/o missing the best part…

HEY!!! There’s a banana on your trunk!?!!
Well it’s been a quiet week this week. Last week Moseley ended up snapping at Elias so we were forced to take him back to the shelter we got him from. We couldn’t risk anything worse happening (it left a tiny mark on Elias’ forearm and Elias provoked him, but it could happen again and…

Hazard 4.2.2010
Went down to Hazard Friday moring. Unfortunately mother nature didn’t play nice again giving us no clouds but we had fun anyway. We had 4 guys down there this week which is a crowd for hazard but it was fun as always. Enjoy.

Happy Easter!
Well it’s been an interesting week for sure. Elias had his tubes done last week because of all the ear infections he’s had. Well this week he…. got another ear infection!!! Then he also go pink eye…. So I had to miss work Thursday to take him to the Drs. Luckily I had Friday off already…
