Went out this morning and shot another sunrise. The weather was crap but I really wanted to shoot so I went anyway. It rained the entire drive down through Narragansett but stopped enough to shoot. It was misting the entire time though so shooting into the wind was out. It was an OK shoot, but […]

Shot 2 sunrises this weekend. I was supposed to have a group sunrise Saturday morning but slept in. I guess my body was telling me I’d had enough. Nikki ended up waking up at 6am and she got me up with enough time to walk down to our beach and get something out of it. […]

Well this week wasn’t much fun… Elias managed to get an eye infection. It was officially pre-orbital cellulitis. He gets very bad reactions to mosquitoes and one bit him close to his eye. That lead to an infection which made his lower eyelid swell shut. So he went to the Dr’s once, then the eye […]

but I’m too beat to write about them… I rented a new camera this weekend. I’ve also been up every night all week checking out reviews and looking at pics just to make sure I make the right decision. Anyway, I ended up shooting a ton this weekend even though we got rained in yesterday. […]

Got out shooting another landscape this morning. Half the group bailed because of the weather, but it turned out shootable. Not nice, but not raining. I actually got questioned by the police as the road to Sachuest was closed due to flooding but I (carefully) drove past the sign anyway (never drove through a puddle). […]

Yeah, these are basically the same old things I usually share, just with bigger waves. Turns out my camera may have gotten a little too wet on a wave that caught me off guard as well as it stopped working. We’ll see how it drys out, and it’s insured, but that’s a headache I don’t […]

Well, this weekend hurricane Bill rolled through. We didn’t get much more than a few overnight showers and some wicked swell. The surf report said we’d get ~15′ swells around midnight Saturday into Sunday. Not sure what we officially got, but it was rather large. I actually went down and shot the waves at hazard […]

Yeah, it almost rhymes even? Elias came down with something at the end of last weekend. Thank god our doctor has office hours weekends (the office has four doctors, each doctor takes every fourth weekend, both days, 9-noon). We were able to get Elias down to the doctor Sunday morning and found out he had […]

Went out for another sunrise this morning. Andy had scouted out a new spot for us in Newport at the end of Ledge road. We’re still not sure if we can legally park there (it’s a residential sticker area from 8am to 6pm and a fishing sticker needed after 9pm, but technically 5am is before […]

This week we had a pool party sponsored by Elias’ daycare. It was Wednesday night and we had a great time even if a wicked thunderstorm rolled in. Nikki even decided to participate in their “pie” eating contest (it was pudding). Elias had a fun time and seemed VERY interested in the pool. There was […]

Well, the 135L sold quickly which allowed me to order it’s replacement(s)! I didn’t use the 135L all that much, but I did enjoy it’s speed for it’s length and the idea of using it as a travel tele (we haven’t been traveling a whole lot). I’ve also owned a 85mm 1.8 at one point […]

Yep, I’m selling my 135L. I know I know, I’ve said I never would, and I’ve paired down my lineup with this lens as my travel tele (selling my 70-200 f4 IS) but the fact is I just don’t use this lens enough to justify keeping it. I’ll be replacing it with something similar, but […]

I’m selling the Kata. I just haven’t used it much really. Basically, it’s bigger than I need because I want to carry a 100-400 on my body. To accomodate that, kata went with a thicker bag to also accomodate 1 series bodies or griped smaller bodies. There’s also a ton more room in the top […]
