Too many hobbies, not enough focus
A few weeks ago I spent a few days in Boston for training. I stayed at the Fairmont Copley Plaza next to the John Hancock Tower. I spent one evening photographing my trip to Long Wharf where I wanted to get night shots of the skyline. Most of these were taken with my 15-30mm …
We went blueberry picking in the back yard tonight. Our journey didn't start that way though. During dinner we noticed some deer in the yard, a pretty normal occurrence around here. This time, however the deer were different: they were bucks. We've never had bucks before. Naturally I had to run outside with my 150 …
As a result of my new philosophy it's finally time to decommission the 2006 MacBook Pro that has run my site for the past five years. It sat in or under my desk during that time and has gathered quite a bit of dust. Overall it's been a fine machine but we've had our bumps …
It's been a few years since I changed the look and feel of my website in any meaningful way, six years in fact. I applied my current WordPress theme, HighLight, in July 2011 and haven't changed much about it since. Today I'm introducing not only a fresh new look but a new domain name and …
It's that time of the year again – time to invest in my photography collection. This year I'm filling out my lens collection now that I've switched to the Nikon system and will be selling off my Canon equipment. I've added quite a few items this season including a set of classic primes, a Macro, …

Holly turned 16 in December. The average life span of a dog is 10 - 13 years (13 for a Dachshund), so she's lived a long time. In the year and a half since Hannah's passing we've tried to make an effort to focus on her in the time that she has left. We spend time …
Whoa! It's been nearly two years since I purchased anything for the Mac Museum. That's what happens when you buy up all of the stuff that you're willing to pay for. It also helped that people have recently decided that adding "Steve Jobs" to items makes them worth a minimum of $100 even if they …

I've had my 27" iMac for about 6 years and it has served me well. At the time I used my Mac as my PC gaming machine so I bought the top end model with a 2.93 GHz Core i7, a 1 GB ATI Radeon HD 5750 GPU, and a 2 TB hard drive. It was a …
I started this post in 2013. It's completley unfinished, but funny. After Adam uses the toilet he looks at you with a smile and says "Say yay!" He follows up with "Now clap!" When Zachary runs around the house screaming "I pee on potty!" at the top of his lungs When we ask Zachary what we …
