We visited the NH Farm Museum in Milton last week and it is a really cool place. It's a big old farm (surprise) with a farmhouse museum, a bar full of ancient farm equipment, and grassy farmland that you can tour. Real chickens roam around while you explore. It's pretty cool. The sun was bright …
Mac Museum New Additions – October 2013
The post below exemplifies the ebb and flow of the Mac Museum over time. I'll focus on it for months at a time, purchasing, organizing, and writing only to let it sit untouched for a year. Then I rediscover it and start over. I wrote this post in 2013 and basically forgot to publish it. …
Elementary Adjustment
The boys started first grade a couple of weeks ago. We kept them in private kindergarten at their day care last year so this is their first experience with public school. Needless to say there has been some adjustment, mostly on our side... Let's start with drop off. Even though there was an open house, …

New Photographic Workflow
My MacBook Pro has enabled a new photographic workflow that should allow me to select and process my photos faster. Prior to buying my MacBook Pro I had the following issues: My iMac was more powerful than my 13" MBP so it was my main editing machine. That meant that the majority of my photo editing …
Photoshoot – The Bloopers
Our photo shoot with the boys this weekend was very successful but it wasn't without its challenges. The result is a poignant set of images for your enjoyment.
Alien
Despite what he may tell you, Adam has never seen any movies from the Alien series. What he did see however was the poster art for Alien Covenant scroll by on the Apple TV for maybe 20 seconds or so. Once he saw it he wanted to know exactly what that thing was. I told him it …
Perkins Partay
We attended a fun cookout a few weeks ago and my typical turnaround time for photography reared its ugly head. Our friends Kristine and Dennis live out in the farm-land and have a nice lot with some farm animals of their own. There was plenty to photograph including chickens, roosters, turkeys, goats, beautiful farm land …
Review: AF-S NIKKOR 24-120mm f/4G ED VR
I switched to Nikon over a year ago. As I completely changed camera systems I had to purchase an entirely new set of lenses. My first two lenses were Nikon's 24-120mm and 70-200mm f/4 pair that cover the standard wide angle to telephoto range. I've been really impressed with both, especially the 24-120mm. I really …
Seagulls!
As an example of how long it can take me to process photos, here are a few that I took in April to test out my then-new Sigma 150 - 600mm lens. It was the beginning of spring so the beach was still pretty cold, but the gulls were out and provided ample subject matter …
