A little video I made including some of our photos from the two islands: Oahu and Maui (Many of the pix are iPhone shots) *** Note: This is a fairly long post about my stay on Maui. There is a lot of the usual travel stuff, including tips, recommendations, and my favorite points of interest. …

Aloha everyone! This is the first of two posts about our recent journey to Hawaii… aka paradise! Ben taught two workshops on the islands – one on Oahu, and one on Maui. The only Hawaiian island I had been to in the past was Kauai so I was so psyched about the opportunity to see …

After spending a few months in Southern California, we hitched up and drove back to Las Vegas. We’ve spent a lot of time in Sin City this past year and, trust me, it’s not because we’re attracted to the strip, the lights or the LV nightlife. We always seem to converge with great friends there, …

***Update: I’m sorry everyone! I had the wrong calendar on this wallpaper! They’ve all been updated and should be working fine now. *** Aloha! Since I’m posting this month’s desktop calendar wallpaper from Hawaii, I figured the theme should be beachy! I shot this photo a few days ago on Oahu’s North Shore, which is …

A lot of people fear change. Call me strange, but I thrive on it. When I was young, my mom worried about me because I always got bored with day-to-day life. I always needed something big in the queue. In that sense, I haven’t changed a bit. It’s why I love the mobile lifestyle. We …

In my last post, “A Tale of Two MINIs,” I told the story of Pixel (our last MINI), and Red (our new MINI). I included a lot of awesome photos of Pixel … but only iPhone shots of Red. At the time of the post, I hadn’t even gotten a chance to properly photograph him. …

I’m a MINI Cooper nut. In “proper” terms, I am a MINIAC. If you’ve been reading this blog for a while, you probably know that. I have been in love with Mini Coopers for years… it’s just something about the style, mixed with quality, mixed with fun. I was once told that you don’t just …

I don’t believe the first month of 2012 is already coming to an end. Time flies! With February rolling in, here is your free desktop calendar/wallpaper. I shot this last year at Mesa Arch in Canyonlands National Park during sunrise. What’s funny is that when I shot this, my wide angle lens was “in the …

For a good percentage of my average day, I live in the digital world. I’m either working on some kind of design project, editing photos, working on web sites, or doing some plain old digital housekeeping. I love all these things. I really do. But it is nice to get out from behind the screen …

Yes. You got it. We’re cold wussies. When it starts to get cold, we migrate south. Last year, we spent the winter coasting around Florida, and this winter, we’re hanging out in San Diego. If Ben and I HAD to plant ourselves somewhere permanently, this would probably be the place. The weather is perfect all …
