Hard to beleive, but I’m selling my beloved 5D. I’ve owned it for 18 months and put 10k images through it. I love this camera, don’t get me wrong, but with the new 5Dii announced yesterday, I’m selling this now before the used market is too saturated. I’m asking $1750 for it and that includes […]

Well Elias is still not yet crawling. He’s a faster scooter though. And he’s been talking up a storm lately as well. He’s also eating more and more real food. Unfortunately we were supposed to go to Block Island last weekend, and then again this weekend but it seems the weather doesn’t want us to […]

I know it’s been a while since I’ve posted videos (we sold our P&S that takes videos) so I managed to use the crappy old digital that’s designated as the boat camera (ie if it were to drown I wouldn’t be upset) and took 2 tonight. You’ll see Elias scooting and working on pushing himself […]

Elias is 6 months old already, can you believe it? It’s crazy it’s gone by this fast honestly. He’s getting big. He’s 90% in height, and normal (50%) in head size and weight. He’s still scooting around the house, but he’s getting much better/faster at it. He’ll “chase”/follow Moseley around now and grab onto his […]

Hanna blew through town last night. We got some heavy rain Saturday and a bit of breeze, but nothing worse than we get from a nor’ easter… She did kick up a decent swell though, so I headed down to Monohan’s in Narragansett to shot this morning. The waves were great and the crowd was […]

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 […]
