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 […]

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.

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 […]

Went to the RI Airshow on Saturday. We had a few members of my photography site come over to shoot it as well, then we had an awesome BBQ on the deck afterwards. We all had a ton of fun, and got some decent images even though it was hazy. Most of us also got […]

Made it to Castle Hill to watch the start of the Newport to Bermuda Race. The bay was CROWDED and there were at least 4 helicopters flying. Made for an interesting day to say the least. It’s always fun to see who shows up boat wise for these things, but my highlight was the last […]

Chris and Lise got married today. Chris and I work together (he’s the IT guy). They had a wonderful wedding today in MA. It was Nikki and my first day out together w/o Elias. It was kinda fun doing something “adult” again, but we both also missed him. Debbie was very helpful and came over […]

I sent my eclipse photo in to the local news station. They liked it enough they used it on the 6pm broadcast on Thursday night. My Mom managed to record it so we headed over to their house today with my little P&S digital camera and recorded the recording…

During the packer’s game, I went out on the deck at halftime to shoot the moon. I figured it would be fun to share the shots with everyone. The last shot was taken last night (Monday night) when the moon was only one day from being full.

We’re Back!!! We had an excellent trip to Acadia this weekend. We had planned it out a few weeks ago and were really looking forward to the trip. It was planned with a few new friends from one of my other sites. The weather was a bit of a curve ball, but in the end […]

I love trains. Ever since I was a kid I’ve loved them. I even dressed up for Halloween as a engineer wearing a train made of cardboard… My Mom and I used to drive to NYC to visit her sister (ANBF!). I love everything about them. Not sure what it is, but it’s always been […]

Tried to go surfing last night. My local Magic Sea Weed report said I should have 5~6′ waves. I got down to the beach and they were barely 2′! I always bring my camera with me anyway, and I was hoping to get some shots in post surfing, so I just went and shot right […]
