Brenton Cove
I finally got out to Brenton Cove for a sunrise. Why? Because I was asked to leave Castle Hill… Anyway, Brenton was actually a nice place to explore. I haven’t shot there before (for a sunrise/sunset at least) so it was nice to try something new. The sunrise angle was a bit far north for…

Sachuest 7.15.2012
My buddy Dave Simms and I made it out to Sachuest Sunday morning. He and I always have a good time shooting together, but this morning mother nature put on a great show with a pretty special sunrise we both enjoyed.

IJJ Update 48
Well we had an awesome weekend. Thursday was a nice night out in IV, my parents boat. We went over to Mackerel cove and had a swim and then dinner. What a way to cool off in the evening. Friday we had the annual Portuguese feast near Nikki’s parents house. That night we spent the night, then we went…

Happy 4th!!!
This past week was the fourth of July obviously. This means a huge party for Andy for his Bday down at the cottage, lots of boating, and fireworks! Elias got out on the tubes behind Pop Pop’s boat. Bella is almost walking. We went out on Bumpa’s boat Sunday to catch the tall ships, then…

June Landscape Ketchup!
I’ve been shooting a lot lately but I’ve been getting behind on my posting! This posts covers about 2 weeks worth of (less than stellar) landscape sessions I’ve had. I’ve been to Castle Hill and Beavertail for sunrises. I’ve been out to the cape for a sunrise. I’ve also been to the Jamestown Windmill due…

Landscape Photography Kit Review:
I wanted to put a post together that goes over what I use to get my landscape images. While I do list the exact gear I shoot with, I don’t want this post to make is seem like that portion is critical. It’s far more important to get out there with what you do have…

OM-D review.
I’ve had the OM-D for a month now. I’m loving this camera. So is my son as you can see above… Micro Four Thirds (MFT) has finally matured to a point where it’s an amazing little system. I owned a Panasonic GF1 a few years ago and liked the system then, but the image quality…

Aunt Jess and Uncle Ben came over!!!
Jess and Ben were in town last week. Almost exactly a year after their visit last year. Of course this year I’d been out to visit them in UT for a week in April, but it was nice to spend some time with them here in RI. The kids loved seeing them again. The AC…

America’s Cup World Series Day III
Made it out to my third straight day of the America’s Cup World Series here in Newport. This has been amazing to watch. These boats are amazing to watch, but to watch them sail in the exact water we race on every tuesday night is just amazing. They’re literally stored a 1/4 mile from where…

America’s Cup World Series Days I and II
I’ve been lucky enough to go watch both of the first two days of the America’s Cup World Series down in Newport this week. It’s amazing to see these boats race, they’re so fast and so close! New Zealand capsized around the weather mark yesterday right in front of us. They worked all night and…

America’s Cup World Series!
The America’s Cup World Series is in town. The containers rolled into town ~2 weeks ago and we’ve seen the village grow since then. Boat have been sailing starting this past week, but yesterday (Saturday) seems like it’s the first day they’ve all made it out on the water together. These boats are VERY impressive.…

IJJ update 46
Well we have a snaggletoothed corn eater on our hands. Bella LOVES corn on the cob. She’ll eat a few rings around an ear w/o much trouble. We basically let her share and ear with Elias. She’s also almost walking. She’ll take 3~5 steps from one of us to the other, and she can stand…

2012 Air Show!
The RI Air National Guard air show is basically down the block from our house. So every year we go enjoy the show w/o the hassles of parking. Yes I’ve been to the actual show and it IS much better if you go, thanks to announcers and static displays we miss, but it’s also nice…

Newport to Bermuda Race 2012
I’m a bit late posting these. In fact the winners have already smashed the record over a day ago! The shot at the top is of Rambler, the new owner of the record at 39h 39m and 18s. I was lucky enough to get invited out on a boat this year by my friends Jamie…
