EAJ 129 week update!
by Ben
Happy new year?!?! I’ve been trying to get everything caught up around here, but going to Antigua threw a wrench in those plans a bit by adding a ton of more fun new shots to process into the mix… So this post has everything post Xmas through this past weekend EXCEPT for the Antigua shots. […]
ThinkTankPhoto Hydrophobia 70-200 video review!
by Ben
I got a chance to put a thinkthankphoto hydrophobia 70-200 through it’s paces in Antigua last week. It’s a very impressive “technical shell” for your camera, or basically foul weather gear. I can see a few brilliant uses for it, the obvious on (since it’s a “rain cover”) is for anyone who NEEDS to keep […]

Beavertail 12.31.2010
by Ben
Made it out for Beavertail for one last landscape session for 2010. It was relatively warm but still quite icy on the rocks below the tideline. It was a lot of fun to get out one last time, especially because I’m flying to Antigua tomorrow so I’ll be in a pretty different landscape for the […]

The Blizzard of 2010!!!!

Merry Christmas 2010
by Ben
Merry Christmas Everyone!!! We had an eventful week. Elias had that stomach bug last weekend which he then shared with Nikki midweek and me Christmas Eve! Not fun! But I powered through it as best as I could. Elias made out like a bandit and we almost need a shovel to clean the front room […]
EAJ 128 week update.
by Ben
Well, Elias finally popped in the potty again this week! But just once… Seems his normal time is early AM so he often goes in his diaper at night, but we’ve been working on getting him to use the potty when he does need to go durning normal hours and finally had some more success […]
Sachuest 12.19.2010
by Ben
Got out to Sachuest today. It was nice and cold, but not cold enough for good ice quite yet. That’ll come, so it was nice to be able to shoot w/o needing gloves I suppose. It was a fun morning to be out shooting.

Ben’s tech straps!
by Ben
I’ve been using straps like this for quite a while now. It started because I don’t like having anything on my camera that can scratch it (metal rings, strap buckles etc) as well as the fact a strap on a camera that’s set down on a table or counter with a kid in the house […]
