I got the chance to get out and shoot twice in 24 hours, so the two locations are going into one post. The first was on Friday afternoon with Andy. He and I went to a new place he found called Nooseneck Hollow. It’s a great little place tucked on the side of Rt3 in […]

Been another busy week. I’ve been sorting out my camera kit a bit lately, so ignore the pictures of gear in the images below. I’ve also been working on updating the theme here on BJP.com. It’s basically an update of the same theme I’ve been using for a while now, but I’ve customized it a […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

We had an awesome weekend this weekend. It was NSOPgiving which is a fall party we throw at our house for all the local forum members to come have a great time. We also go out as a group (whoever is in town) for a sunrise or two. This trip we had Shawn Thompson from […]

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 […]

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.

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

Nikki’s Mom’s Mom Vovo turned 100 Monday! The family threw a huge party for her Sunday which was a ton of fun. 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 […]

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 […]

I’m trying not to let the personal blog posts get too behind here either, so I’m adding the last weeks update now, even though it’s less than a week from the last update. Anyway, I found some shots on my NEX after hiking with it this weekend from a day I got to get out […]

Went to Mount Washington this weekend. I’m working on a project with some friends for PBS right now, so we hiked Tuckerman’s. We also had enough time to go all the way to the top for my first time ever. It was a great day for it, ~70º at the bottom and ~50º at the […]
