Pics from new camera
I have been out shooting with my new little camera, the NIkon 1 J3) and so far I like it! There are a few oddities- no histogram, ISO is buried in the menu, finding a 40.5mm circular polarizer, finding a case that will work- and a few things I need to get used to- no ...
Come on, People!!!
How long were all of you, my gentle readers, going to remain silent about my nonsense about showing you pictures from my phone? A phone!! A phone is not a camera!!! Yes a phone can take a picture but that is not the definition of a camera to me. A phone is as much of ...
Living Water
A week ago, in between two of my trips I had a chance to actually go out and take some pictures. Didn’t have any purpose in mind other than to be out photographing- the just for fun kind of photography that we all used to do all the time before assignments and contests and projects ...
More Aquarium Photos
Yes I am still here- sorry for my absence. While I haven’t been doing very much serious photography lately, very much of anything actually, I did visit the Monterey Aquarium last week for nothing more than fun. I love aquariums- I consider them houses of wonder and keepers of magic for the other-worldliness of what ...
Creating Compositions
I’m out in Colorado again for my last trip of this winter. It’s been gorgeous so I’ve been out stomping around the woods on my snowshoes for fun and exercise. This time of year when the snow is heavy and soft walking through the thick snow requires considerable effort so I didn’t bring my adult ...

Pacific Rim National Park
The Pacific Rim National Park workshop is fast approaching and we have just a few spots left before it is full. This is one of my all time favorite workshop locations because there is so much to photograph and it is all spectacular. It is, after all, held within a world biosphere reserve! Don’t miss ...
Completed Video and some thoughts
I finally completed the video I started to edit with Bob Krist two weeks ago. I have included it below. It is also on vimeo if the link below sends you astray. Here is what I have learned about video: It’s fun to shoot and even more fun to think about what to shoot and ...
Another Video? The Breakfast Thief
I can’t say that people are clamoring for more videos, in fact I can’t say that they have even been noticed by very many people but I can say that I’m going to give you more. Why, might you ask, am I venturing into video when I have finally gotten some mastery of photography? First ...
Another Video for your Digestion
I’ve been down at Bob Krist’s doing a short workshop on video. this is my unfinished work on a stream near my house. Enjoy! Okay, here is the full story: I did a four day private workshop with Bob Krist last week. He is a great friend and is equally curmudgeonly as I am ...
