I've been taking digital photos since 2006 and had amassed a library of nearly 40,000 photos by the end of last year. This is only counting my "professional" photos – those taken with an SLR. Photos taken on our various point and shoots (remember those?) and cell phones are separate. Compared with an actual professional …
Mac Museum Virtual Tour
Added updated photos to my Mac Museum page so you can see what it looks like now. The photos that were on there were very old. Since that time I've added a book shelf, more cabinets, and had to expand to the other side of my basement!
Jurassic World
We let the boys watch Jurassic World a few weekends ago. I randomly got into a Jurassic Park phase and purchased all 4 of the movies as a Blu-ray collection. After some discussion we decided that we'd give it a try even though it was PG-13. They've seen a few PG-13 movies before, most of …
My New MacBook Pro
I spent part of my time off a couple weeks ago shopping. Ever since I returned from the West coast last year I've been looking to buy a new Mac. Editing photos on my 13" MacBook Pro was disappointing because it was so slow. Even though it was reading the images off of a fast …
Boston Photos
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 …
Blueberry Picking
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 …
Farewell Server
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 …
Time for a Change
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 …
Some New Lenses
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, …
Farewell Canon
I bought into the Nikon system last year with the purchase of my D750. I wanted to upgrade to a full frame camera and Nikon had better options for me at the time. I decided to keep my Canon to fill gaps that I had in my Nikon system, namely the lack of a macro …
