Devil’s Hopyard 10.29.2011
Made it out to Devil’s Hopyard with a group of NSOP guys Saturday AM. We had a few mishaps meeting with everyone so Jake and Bryan shot on their own a bit while Dave and I shot with Andy in a spot Andy had found in the spring. It was a nice smaller set of…

IJJ Update 27
Technically it’s been 2 weeks for a family update, so sorry! Last weekend we had our huge NSOPgiving BBQ in the back yard with 40 people here. It’s always a blast, but it’s a weekend long event starting Friday night with some friends flying in then and going through Monday AM for one final sunrise…

BRZ…
What’s a BRZ? It’s Subaru’s new 2 door coupe that they’ve developed with Toyota… The Toyota version is officially being called the GT86, the Subaru is called the BRZ which stands for boxer (the motor type) Rear (the wheels the power goes to, yes this is NOT AWD) and Zenith (the concept’s code name). It…

NSOPgiving 2011!
Had a little party for the forum at the house this weekend. What a blast! We ended up with 25 adults and 15 kids in the end and everyone had a great time. It’s always a blast to catch up with old friends and meet some new ones. It’s also crazy meeting someone in real…

Point Judith 10.15.2011
Went out to Point Judith Saturday to shoot the sunrise. The weather man said “windy” but didn’t mention 30~40kts… It was so windy even with me leaning on my tripod I couldn’t keep the camera still (none of these are critically sharp). It was still fun shooting but challenging.

IJJ Update #26!
Another week in the books. Not much to report since our trips to Ikea. We got Elias bed and swing together and he LOVES them. We returned the table we picked up for the same one in black (instead of birch which was too light) and the next size down. This weekend was spent getting…

Ledge Road 10.2.2011
Made it out to ledge road again last week. I tried to shoot there Saturday am, but I left the house w/o a raincoat (it wasn’t raining at the time) and drove down there only for it to start pouring as soon as I crossed the Newport Bridge. So I went back Sunday as I…

Block in October?!
You bet! It was a gorgeous weekend with highs in the 80s so we took the chance to get out to Block Island this weekend. We made the 5:15pm ferry Friday night and had a great 1.5 days out there returning Sunday AM in time for a brunch party at the Plumbs. We made it…

It was crazy having the entire family and all her friends together in one place again, it was like a wedding reception! Beyond Vovo turning 100, Isabella managed to get bronchitis. The machine you…

New Gear: X100 review
OK, to be 100% honest, I’m writing this post having already sold the camera. I bought this camera 10/4/2011, here’s the first shot I took with it: I owned the camera from October 4th until November 2nd. I took 797 images with it. I loved the camera and I hated the camera. I, like everyone…
