No, I’m not referring to the handsome fellow in the images, who happens to be my brother. I’m referring to the lens – God’s lens. With Photoshop World less than 4 days away, I rented the Nikon 70-200, 2.8 workhorse to take with me. Rented from Lensprotogo.com, one of the most convenient services I’ve ever …

I was so excited to see that Scott Kelby featured my photo walk on his blog the other day. It has been so awesome looking at what people around the world shot during the walk, and what the other people in my group shot as well. I’m so glad this is going to be an …

So I’ve been spending a lot of time editing and sifting through my images from the Photo Walk. Since it’s nearly 1 am now (and the photowalk group on flickr is now closed for posting new images – theyll reopen after all the contests are over) This is going to be a photo-intensive post. Some …

I’ll tell ya, Scott Kelby really nailed it with this Photowalk that took place yesterday. I mean, who else could organize such an event? Yesterday (sat) over 8,000 people around the world took part in photo walks held in their cities’. We’re talking like 250 countries. One person runs each walk, and photogs sign up …

First of all, I must say that I have a new favorite quote, and I got it from David Hobby’s site, the Strobist. http://strobist.blogspot.com. Here goes:“They say: Half the world doesn’t know how the other half lives. I say: Half the world doesn’t know how. The other half lives.” Personally, I strive to be the …

So this photo obviously is not my photo of the day (unfortunately). The photo I shot is still getting worked on in photoshop – I have interesting plans for it. But it involves a monster school bus Anyway, I am totally excited because 2 weeks from today I’ll be at Photoshop World!! YAY!This time is …

I had so much fun tonight with this one. It’s a different kind of light painting than the way I’ve done it before. This time, I used a mini mag-lite with the top screwed off and the bulb exposed. The ISO was set to 100, at f11, with a 5-second exposure, on a tripod obviously. …

I knew my parents had a lot of old records. But I’ve never actually looked through them. I recently went down in the basement and started to browse through their collection, and …. SCORE!!!! Now here’s something about me. I realize that it’s the year 2008, however, my music, the music that really gets me …

Today was Madison’s “real” birthday, and the day for party number 2. Lots more nice shots. (and luckily many were outside or in really well-lit rooms so I was able to shoot sans-flash). I really couldn’t ask for a more adorable little girl to photograph. Even her frustrated expressions come out cute. And I photographed …

Baby Madison turns 2 today, and yesterday was her birthday party at Kid Junction, which is basically the greatest place in the world if you’re two feet tall, and most of the attendees were. Kids are so great to photograph (I’m always inclined to say “shoot,” but that somehow doesn’t sound right – “Yay! I …
