I've had my D750 for a little over a week now. I had a few days with it in NH, mostly inside, and a few days in Seattle / Redmond. I haven't had enough time for a full evaluation, but here are some of my initial thoughts. Like Size - The D750 is pretty compact …
Ordered a Nikon D750
Well that was quick. Two days ago I posted the research I had done regarding full frame camera options. Buying into the Nikon system was an expensive option, but one that I planned to consider after further research and possibly a rental. To be truthful, that article was drafted last Friday, the same day I …
Full Frame Choices
In my previous post I discussed how much I missed my DSLR while at the same time stating that I'm probably going to upgrade it. The most natural progression for me would be to a full frame camera especially if it offers all advantages I outlined. I truly feel that I need to rent one …
Is it Time to Go Full Frame?
I haven't been using my SLR much lately. Our summer was really busy and I haven't been home very often since November. Lugging my camera all over the place was getting annoying and most of my photos ended up on Facebook anyway, making my phone an easy replacement. The photos were of reasonable quality and didn't require any post-processing, plus I …
Music
Being away from home is difficult. I'm away from Sally and the boys; I'm traveling a lot; work is different, challenging, and stressful; and I'm on my own. It's taken me a while to figure out how to function in this new situation and one of the ways I've learned to cope is through music. …
Farewell to the Queen Mary
I visited the Queen Mary for the first time in December. It was the first time I travelled to anything outside of walking distance from my hotel while in LA. I rented a car for the weekend and drove out to Long Beach to see one of the most famous ocean liners in the world, …
Heading Back After the Holidays
Tomorrow evening I leave for California once again. The last day is always the hardest. My bags are packed and the timer begins; it's just a matter of counting down the minutes until I have to leave. I've been fortunate to have had an extended stay home for the holidays. I left two weeks ago …
The Force Awakens & Rediscovering Star Wars
Sally and I saw The Force Awakens on Sunday and we really liked it. For a movie whose job is to both reboot and continue one of the most successful and beloved franchises in history it does a fine job. While the story line contains similarities in structure to A New Hope and has its fair share …

Heading Home
Well it's been about two weeks since I arrived in California and now it's time to head home for a couple days. I'll be leaving tomorrow afternoon and should be home around 2 AM Saturday after adding on a 3 hour time difference, 1 hour bus wait, and 2 hour bus ride. I'm staying for …
LA: The First Week
I've been in LA for a week now it's been a bit of a rollercoaster. My flight out was delayed by about 40 minutes because the crew was trying to find a flight path out of the strong jet stream to save time. Unfortunately there was no alternate route and we wouldn't have enough fuel to make …
