Well, I promised I would post pictures tonight, and so I have. The one up there is the proof I promised of Maestro’s ribbing. Note the parenthetical name next to mine, on the name-tag outside my dorm room, for all the world to see. He also called me to the podium [...]

Today we took a drive up to the Jefferson National Forest. It’s nice enough in and of itself, but we were out for more than just trees. We parked and took a two mile hike up a very scenic trail along a river. At the top of the trail was a [...]

I’m kind of proud of this one because, with just a little tweaking in Photoshop, it pretty much came out exactly as I saw it in my mind’s eye when I shot it. I’m also remembering how much I really, really like black and white.

I’ve been doing more picture taking and playing around in photoshop. This was the last shot from my latest, well, ‘shoot‘, heh. I spent about an hour walking around taking macro shots of flowers and other things around the house with The Boy toddling along after me. It’s funny how often [...]

It’s funny how different something can look if you give it just a little twist. Initially, I just liked the look of the crack in the rock when I shot it. When I started to play around with it later a whole new image emerged. I’m having more and more [...]
Back in January, Chris DiClerico posted an interesting article on a type of photography, using a “tilt-shift lense“, that made aerial shots of life-sized buildings and objects look as though they were models. I was highly intrigued by the concept then, so when I came across this article detailing how a similar effect could be [...]
