Went back to Newton for another sunrise. Yes, this is at least the fifth time, but it just doesn’t get old for some reason. It was a super low tide so I was able to make it out to the outer rocks w/o much issue. I was also playing with a new 12mm lens which […]

Well Elias and I had an awesome weekend, as did Nikki, but not with “the boys”! Nikki went with her parents and brother and had an awesome trip to NYC to see a yankees game. I went with my parents and took Elias out on avalanche for a “dry run”… We stayed on the mooring […]

Yes, I’m retracing my routes with this one was well… I originally bought the siggy 12-24mm when I had my 10D knowing a 1Dii was in my near future… It’s the go to wide prime for the 1 series IMHO because that body needs full frame lenses and the 17-40 and 16-35 lose enough of […]

yeah, needing to UL this obviously means I had to use it. My BRAND NEW sigma is/was front focusing slightly (by 1cm). So I went through the process of adjusting it in camera and it’s great now! I’m at +10 which might be a tad too much actually. When it was at 0, the back […]

Well I’ve been working on another DIY bag project lately. I’ve used nothing but shoulder bags for a long time now, but with the lenses I’ve been carrying around they aren’t ideal all the time. So I’ve been wanting a backpack/sling bag to help distribute the load, but keep my gear within a quick unzip […]

Well I got a bit crazy this past week and sold off my 50mm 1.4 and the 100mm macro I’d traded for my 20mm 1.8. My canon 50mm 1.4 was a good lens, it’s just that I’ve heard great things about the sigma so I figured I’d change things up a bit. Basically the sigma […]

Well this was my first sunrise since the 4 in a row on vacation. It was great to get out there again. The sunrise was OK, the sun itself was pretty rad, but then as soon as it was light enough the surfers started piling into the water. That made it a bit more interesting […]

Well we had a lovely and busy weekend this weekend! Friday night was the annual Portuguese feast over at the Portsmouth Portuguese American Club. It’s right up the street from Debbie and Andy’s house so every year we go over and walk up for some great food, great music, and a fun time. This year […]

Yeah, rare, I know… I realized tonight (while showing off Elias pics to the ladies at the blood center) that I didn’t process or post these pics of Elias at the beach at the end of vacation. There’s also 3 images in there from last nights sunset that I caught after sailing. There’s also a […]

I can’t believe I don’t have a post on this yet? Anyway, this is the holster bag I ski with. It’s not perfect, but it’s really good. The strap system sucks, but not bad enough I’ve replaced it yet (which would be pretty easy). It works as needed.

Well I hope everyone else’s weekend went as well as mine. I got a call last week while on vacation from Justin Scott. He’s the Viper 640 class president. I’d sailed with him twice before when we were picking which 20′ sportboat was right for us, and he was considering sailing in the Newport Regatta, […]

OR, vacation’s almost over? Yeah, it’s Sunday and work starts tomorrow. Vacation FLEW by waaaaaaay too fast this summer. The weather was pretty terrible most of the week (basically until Friday) so we didn’t get to do some of the fun things we’d planned. I did get out and shoot 4 sunrises on Wednesday, Thursday, […]
