Well the parade/party day at least. It’s been a hectic week (yes I say that a lot, but it’s been a very bad few weeks at work, then we had an issue with our gas line at the house). I then shot this morning’s sunrise (up at 5:30am) with some guys from my photography forum. […]

After a rough week at work, some of the guys on my photo forum were having a group meet down @ Weakapog beach this morning, so I decided to join them. It was actually very nice to get out and shoot something w/o people in it. That’s what I generally prefer shooting, but it was […]

Well Monday night we had another birthday party for Elias… His official party was Sunday, but since we were home Monday as well we figured we’d have my parents over for dinner and have another party on his actual birthday. We were supposed to be flying to/in SLC visiting my sister, but work issues forced […]

Yeah, it’s ALMOST Elias birthday… So close in fact today was his first (of 2) parties… Debbie and Andy threw him an awesome party today at their place and we invited everyone we knew with kids as well as Nikki’s family and friends. It was a great time and Elias seemed to enjoy all the […]

Yes it’s a relic, yes it’s designed in the 80s (but mine was made in 1996, the year I graduated HS!), yes it’s been replaced 3 times, but you know what, I LOVE IT!!! It’s a 2.8 constant zoom, but it’s not very big at all. It’s actually smaller than the 17-40L although a bit […]

Well Elias is really getting moving this week. He’s been cruising for a while now and stood on his own last week… But Friday night I got home and Nikki said he’s taken 2 steps to her earlier in the night, so I got the camera out and we tried it again…. Well check below […]

Well unfortunately we didn’t catch it on camera, but Elias stood up on his own for a solid 10 seconds this week. We were all on the floor in the living room when he suddenly put both arms up over his head then stood up and just stood there! He’s been getting better and better […]

Sold 4 bags earlier this week so I could try a boda. I’ve been stalking these online for a while now but always felt they were priced a bit high, at least for me. But looking at the design, it’s well done, and finding them for 25% off (instant rebate) I couldn’t resist after my […]

Pico? Yep, PICO!!! Elias went to his third state this weekend going for his longest car ride yet (~4:30) going up to Pico in VT. I was very excited when Andy and Debbie suggested it because I grew up skiing at Pico about 20~25 years ago, but hadn’t been back since. Well it’s alive and […]

yeah, I know I know, why the hell do I need another camera right? But these things have been calling my name since I’d seen them in the back of NG adventurer a year or so ago… And they finally made a wide version (instead of the rumored wide angle adapter) so how could I […]

Well as much as I don’t really want to like this lens, it’s actually proving to be quite the sharp, wide, fast bargain. It’s been on the camera since it came out of it’s box last night, and so far I’ve been very impressed with it. It’s got sigma’s typical black flake paint job on […]

I’m getting this blog update hammered out today so I can relax and enjoy some foolsball tomorrow as well as go out to lunch/brunch with some friends from NSOP… So you’ll be a day late because of my day earliness… Today started out well…. Phone rings this morning with a call about why our checking […]

After selling the 70-200 f4 IS this week I turned that money right into some things I’ve been considering for a while now: Sigma 20mm f/1.8 EX DG Kata 3n1-30 sling bag/backpack GoPro 5 wide motorsport kit w/ bike kit The sigma will be interesting to play with. My 24L is my most used lens […]
