This past week I had the opportunity to team up on shoot with my good friend Karl from Dimension Three Architectural Illustrations.  Karl was actually working while I was hard at play working on a shot for my latest #p52 post.   Karl does amazing architectural illustrations and hopefully he’ll let me share his finished work here when he’s completed it. But back to playing.  Karl’s not missing a twin but here’s...

Self portraits are just uncomfortable business. But then again so is putting up a blog and sharing imagery and thoughts. All part of this experiment’s learning process. I like this shot ok.  But it’s only just passable.  And really it’s only passable because I put four shots together and created the frame to make it semi-interesting and passable.  So again another learning experience for me but not a shot I’m...

These images were shot a few months back when a good friend was in town with his son. His son Jakob didn’t have much experience with the beach and so it was great to watch him interact with it and have some fun. Fortunately Jake agreed to confine throwing sand at his father and I was let off of the hook since I had camera in hand. The lighting was absolutely horrible and I hate to shoot mid-day but I’m glad I decided I tout...

I love panoramas because there’s something a little magical about them to me.  Perhaps because they’re a better substitute of human vision than more standard sized images because of the wide field of view.  Whatever the reason, you’ll likely see more of them here in the next 12 months.  By the way, click on the thumbnail image above in the post to get a pop-up of the full size image. This panorama was created from 6...

Project52 is a personal challenge to put up at least one new post on your website per week for the year. If you’ve been reading my blog, (which is extremely unlikely!) then you know that to this point it’s a been a random collection of things intended to interest my friends and family mostly based around basic tech and with some photography thrown in from my Flikr account. For this year I’ll concentrating on photography...

For 2010 I have joined Project52 and each week I’ll be adding some new photography to my blog here. This was shot on Christmas Eve with available light for a 20 second exposure using my trusty D70. I like the overall effect and subject matter but the color balance is god awful. I originally liked the car tail lights in the image but more and more they look amateurish to me.  Certainly this is not professional level imagery.  ...

Hello new iPhone user.  Killed that Crackberry and moving over to iPhonedom? I am what’s known as the seasoned iPhone user.  Okay, no one calls me that.  But perhaps techie or “West Coast Tech Support” is throw around in my direction.  Whatever the name I keep getting new iPhone users asking what apps they should install. The application store does a fairly decent job of spelling out the options but then again...
