    Andy and I went to Hazard Rock this morning as another “group” shoot for the forum.  The sky was pretty amazing this morning so it was well worth the effort to get up so early.  The only down side to hazard rock is there’s one obvious EPIC spot (notice ~6 shots that are variations on…

    Woke up SUPER early again this morning for another “group” NSOP sunrise meet.  I say super because civil twilight (when we meet) was ~4:45am so I was up at 4:00am and out shortly after.  Group is in quotes because it was just me and Andy.  Jeff is in the middle of his drive to SF…

    yeah, I’m working on the deck.  So this update will be a little short on verbiage as I’m BEAT.  Getting up yesterday for sunrise shooting didn’t help (but was worth it).  Nikki did let me sleep in a bit this morning, but I’m more exhausted physically than I am tired.  Anyway, you can see the…

    Happy mothers day to all the moms out there.  Elias and I had some fun making some crafts for Nikki yesterday.  I picked up a few canvases and some finger paints on the way home Friday.  While Nikki was out running her 10k on BI Elias and I went to work.  I also managed to…

    Yep, I drove down to MD for a party with some friends this weekend.  Yes the weather was terrible for the drive home but doesn’t matter, I’d go again in a heartbeat!  Had a great time and came home to Elias missing me (he wanted and got a huge hug as soon as I got…

    Septic tanks?  Yeah, that first shot is the cover to our tank.  Why on earth is it on the blog you ask?  Well we had it pumped back in January, but the weather (and our social schedule) has kept us from getting to any yard work until last weekend.  So the first order of business…

    We had another NSOP meet this morning.  Might be the last, or at least the last with Jeff (he’s the guy that knows the best spots) as he’s moving to CA in a couple weeks.  It’ll be sad to see him go, but at least we had 2 months of shooting together, plus he’ll still…

    Went out shooting with our NSOP sunrise group.  We’ve been having a ton of fun on these shoots and getting some great shots, but I’d say this was my favorite shoot yet.  We went to one of Jeff’s favorite spots down in Narragansett called hazard rock.  It’s at the end of Hazard street.  I’ve driven…

    Elias is really starting to take off on us now.  He can walk as much as he wants to.  He can stand for a minute or so on his own, and THEN walk from room to room.  He’s still not quite as fast as he is when he’s doing his head down speed crawl, so…

    Happy Easter everyone.  This is Elias’ second Easter, we’re spending it the same way as last year, having lunch at the Stinton’s.  We also had dinner at my parents house last night.  Not much else going on this weekend except for a rain-out yesterday (got a few things done inside) and it’s been cold/windy all…

    A few friends of mine from my photo forum have been getting together to shoot sunrises lately.  This is our fourth meet, this time it was at Ft Wetherill in Jamestown.  We’d probably all agree none of us get our best work done at these meets (between it beeing way too early and us talking…

    It’s been a busy couple of week.  Sorry for no post last week, but I basically ran out of time and energy.  As for the birthdays it was mine last week and my Dad’s this week.  Nikki and I got to go out to a movie (monsters -vs- aliens in 3D) and had a nice…

    I got up and shot another sunrise Saturday with my friends.  This week we went to Sakonnet Point which was a bit of a drive considering it’s still in RI, but was over an hour away!  We had a great time as usual and I got some shots I’m pretty happy with.

    Not a whole lot to report this week.  We made it over to Ganny and Grandpa Jake’s for dinner last night with Grammy and Pop Pop as well as Jim Hanley.  Elias wasn’t up to his usual high spirits and decided (a bit early) it was time to go home.  We had an excellent dinner…

    I got up super early this morning again for another NSOP landscape/seascape shoot.  We had a blast shooting Black Point in Narragansett.  I got a few good shots and had a ton of fun.  I’m not thrilled on the processing of these, but it’s a new camera, computer and software, so I’m working the kinks…
