  • Antigua 2014 vacation!

    Antigua 2014 vacation!

    We were lucky enough to make it down to Antigua last week to visit my parents on the boat.  We had a blast.  This is Elias third trip there but Bella’s first.  Elias snorkeled for his first time and LOVED it, Bella swap and LOVED the beach.  Elias had tubes at that age so he…

  • Plum Beach Light in the fog

    Plum Beach Light in the fog

    This is an oldie that somehow never made it to the blog…  This was shot February 2nd 2014.  This is one of my last landscape shots with my 5Diii back when I had a tamron 150-600 in EF mount.  I’d ordered it when it was announced and it shipped after I’d already started selling my…

  • Pillow Fight!

    Pillow Fight!

    Pillow fight at Bumpa and Ganny’s!  Whenever we go over there for dinner we wrap up the night with a pillow fight.  Elias is getting really good at dodging and Bella is starting to really get in on the fun as well.  We’ve also got some pics in here from taking Elias to Wachusett last…

  • Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!!

    Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!!

    We’ve had a great last week with both Christmas and New Years coming and going faster than we’d like.  Elias was back in school today but already knows tomorrow is a snow day!…  I ended up getting the flu the week before Christmas and developed pneumonia as well so I’ve been a bit slowed down…

  • End of 2013 PAD catchup

    End of 2013 PAD catchup

    I’ve still been working on a PAD for 2013.  It certainly hasn’t been daily and the posts are way behind but this is a catchup post to get everything current to December.  I found a bunch of these going through lightroom today to find the images for my 2013 review thread.  Enjoy!

  • Happy Thanksgiving!

    Happy Thanksgiving!

    Had a great thanksgiving weekend last weekend.  The whole family had 4 days off and we enjoyed it.  We had 2 thanksgiving dinners, tons of leftovers and even got out to get a tree.  We avoided black friday (but did get lights for the house that day) and just had a great time relaxing.  We…

    December 2013 landscapes

    Got out shooting twice over the last two weekends. Last weekend David Simms and I headed to Sakonnet Point to shoot the lighthouse from Lloyd’s Beach. That’s one of my favorite beaches! The wind was brutal but we were still able to come home with some keepers. This weekend I tried to shoot the windmill…

  • Think Tank Retro 7 Review

    Think Tank Retro 7 Review

    What’s to say about the retro 7?  Well, first make sure you’ve read and watched my retro 10 and retro 5 reviews!  Why?  Well because the retro 7 is basically a retro 10 with 1~2″ of the space from the camera compartment taken to make space for a padded iPad/macbook Air compartment.  Yes you can…

    ThinkTankPhoto Airport Ultralight V2.5 video review:

    I recently did a sailboat delivery from Myrtle Beach SC to the Bahamas.  I’ve been wanting a pelican case for my gear around the house for a while now (to keep kids/dust/dirt out of it) and I figured this trip was the perfect excuse to finally bite the bullet and order the 1514 (the version…

  • Photo Expo 2013!

    Photo Expo 2013!

    Made it down to NYC for the photo expo again.  I LOVE this show.  Yes, I’m a gear-head, so it’s really nice to go check out the new stuff in person without having a salesperson try to get you to buy it.  Here’s a quick rundown of what I found new and exciting:

    I’ve been super busy lately so I haven’t been getting my images out onto the blog as much as I should.  So sorry, but let me apologize by sharing a ton of images!  Enjoy!

    Fujifilm X-E2 initial impressions:

    Alright, so I got my XE2 friday night and have shot with it all weekend.  I also got my 23mm 1.4 at the same time so a large portion of my “dream” small camera system (I prefer EVIL, thankyouverymuch) has now arrived.  Once the 10-24 and 56mm arrive I’ll be all set.  Anyway, here’s a…

    Mount Washington 2013

    Went up to Mount Washington yesterday for a quick hike.  I had some things to test and review and also wanted to get out for a hike.  I managed to make it up lions head to the summit in 2:07 and the round trip coming down tuckerman’s was 4:02!  Enjoy the images:
