ugh… What to do… I’ve sold the leica. I’ve sold the G9 (to my Mom). I’m now cameraless except for the DSLRs… I’m looking for something small and compact and easy to use… So what am I looking at? RANGEFUNDERS!!!! 😆 Yeah, as in film cameras… Remember those? Anyway, I’m looking at a few options […]

Well I finally bit the bullet and bought a film scanner. Well it’s not really a film scanner, it’s a scanner that can scan film (or so the geeks will tell you). But it works and it scans slides, negatives (B+W or color) and most importantly 120 and 35mm film. What’s 120? Well it’s medium […]

Well Elias is almost crawling at this point. He’s up onto his hands and legs, and can move, but not both at the same time. He’ll scoot from one end of his blanket to the other in less than a minute and loves following Mo from one side to the other. He’s also eating more […]

Nikki and I were going through some old slides and I took some time to take some pictures of them to share. These are all from 1999. It’s pretty interesting to see 10 years later all my favorites have Nikki in them. We’ve been to some incredible places.

Got some new toys from B&H today. Basically I sold off the 16-35II and flipped it for a brand new 17-40 (yes another, don’t remind me!!!) and some accessories I’ve needed for a while. Part of my issue with the 16-35II was the filter size being 82mm… So I was on the fence for getting […]

Elias keeps growing and growing! He’s closer to crawling, and has this scooting thing down pretty well at this point. He’s also starting to push himself up onto all 4s a lot more now. He and Mo are getting to be good friends. Well, maybe I should say Elias LOVES watching/touching Mo, and Mo puts […]

I must admit, I’ve lived in (or very close to) Jamestown since 1991, but I had never been to the Fools Rules Regatta. I knew about it, I knew Chris Powell was the “chief fool” (he runs the regatta) and I knew the basics. I’d just always had other commitments the day of the event […]

Well I sold the leica a few weeks ago and was planning on waiting for the new P&Ss at photkina in september… But then I found out about canon’s loyalty program. If you have an old non working canon camera, you call them and you get a few options in terms of refurbished cameras for […]

I’m selling both my 420EXs and my ST-E2. I rarely use flashes at all, so having this stuff sitting around is a waste for me. I also was traded a 580EX II (and cash) for my Leica so I’m keeping the 580II and selling all my old flash gear. I’ll have these for sale on […]

Well Elias can officially move himself around now. Not far (yet) but he can scoot on his belly across his blanket on the floor. He’s now chasing down the toys he’s most interested in including Moseley! Mo has been very good with Elias. The only issue so far is he loves to lick Elias including […]

Elias is getting bigger and more coordinated by the minute it seems. He’s not crawling, but we fear that’s around the corner. He can maneuver himself around the floor pulling himself along with his arms if he’s on a blanket, and he can continually roll himself over to get to things. It’s fun to watch, […]

Elias seems to be growing and growing every day lately. We’re working on feeding him real food. He doesn’t seem to love it, but he does it about half of what goes in (the other half comes back out onto his bib). We’ve been doing rice cereal, but this week we’ve tried sweet potatoes and […]

Why fishkabobs? Because it’s a fisheye on a stick! Just having some fun with the camera, Nikki, Elias, and Moseley in the backyard tonight after work. The stick is the tripod because I’m testing an idea for a monopod, but it’s all I have right now. I was basically shooting these shots from ~6′ away […]
