Weekend Picture Taking

5 June 2011

Day 1 — In Which We Slack

12 September 2010

The first day here in Oax­aca is always a lit­tle slow.  I’ve been beaten up by the air­lines, the alti­tude change is more than 5000 ft, and there’s the nec­es­sary trips for sup­plies (beer.) Lead­ing to not doing much. A brief after­noon stroll to try out the new lens was all the ambi­tion I could muster. […]

New Glass

5 September 2010

We spent a lit­tle time down at the expen­sive toy store ear­lier this week­end. We came away with two new-to-us lenses. The first is rather dull — it’s a straight across replace­ment for the 70–300 that we already had. The new one has VR, Nikon’s image stabilization/vibration reduc­tion pack­age. The longer the lens the more […]

Last week­end J and I spend a few days “away” in Winthrop WA. It was a nice chance to relax and spend some down time with each other. Fri­day after­noon was hot and dry when we left Seat­tle. The long route through the moun­tains (up to Hwy 20.) The canyon below Dia­blo dam was com­pletely dry. Sign […]

New Pictures

2 February 2009

Two gal­leries of pic­tures from last week’s day-trip to the Fri­day Har­bor in the San Juan Islands for the pur­pose of pick­ing up the pig. (Yummy fresh pork!)

30 Minutes with Photoshop

29 January 2009

I have a desk­top wid­get that acts as a sideshows photo frame on my devel­op­ment machine. Hav­ing some­thing pleas­ant to stare at when my mind goes blank on a prob­lem is nice. This morn­ing, dur­ing a par­tic­u­larly intense “now how the hell is that sup­posed to work” spell the photo below came up. Click on the photo […]
