*This was sitting in my draft folder for almost a year, but I think it deserves a publish.

OK, so this one was not taken by me, but brings up a topic I believe is worthy of discussion.
While I was vacationing in Japan, Lisa repeatedly brought up her point that my camera was too complicated to [...]

This was taken at a work gathering - we had a “recess” from our normal schedule and got together with the team to have food, drinks, and play games outside. We were allowed to bring kids, so most of my coworkers brought their kids in the afternoon. Here is a candid capture of our PM’s [...]

Recently we got together at a friend’s house and had a “portrait day”, and basically everyone took turns in front of the modelling screen. We had light stands and umbrellas setup, and had a great time playing with light the entire afternoon. I think we probably had over $30,000 in gear alone with the 7+ [...]

It’s interesting to note these patterns were developed probably at the turn of the last millennium, by painters, no less. Painters of that time had a fantastic understanding [...]

I went to National Harbor with some friends this past weekend.  I had some errands to run, but I had to take advantage of the 70 DEGREE weather!

I went to take pictures at a dance audition this weekend - mostly because I wanted to test out the HD video goodness of the 5D MarkII (it still makes me feel guilty to admit that I have this ridiculous camera). This red-hair girl was my absolute favorite, every picture with her turned out beautiful [...]

When did jumping shots get so big? I don’t remember doing this back in college but I feel like it’s been really popular the past few years. It takes soo many attempts to get everyone jumping in one picture and this one was the best one taken by someone else. I want to do a [...]
