    2011 was the first year I participated in Project 365. I finished it and it's a nice feeling. As I look back over the year and the photos I selected as my POTD, I realized how much I've grown, how much photography is a joyous part of my daily life, and how much more there is to experiment ...

  • Photographing people in a cafe or restaurant

    by , 12-17-2011 at 05:42 AM
    There are several approaches that I use, depending where I am, as in; do I know the people here; is it crowded; are the people looking at me? The first thing to do, even if I am in a cafe where I am known, is to gauge the mood of the people. Known to me or not, people have different moods, and sometimes they just dont want to be messed with. This of ...

  • Amsterdam Transportation

    by , 11-28-2011 at 09:21 PM
    In October my wife and I took a trip to Amsterdam for the first time. We stayed in an awesome B&B called Boogaards, and had an all around wonderful time exploring the city. Of course while I was there I also took some pictures. One picture in particular stood out to me. It was taken right after we arrived and dropped off our things at the B&B. ...

  • Using NATURAL light

    by , 10-16-2011 at 01:57 PM
    I have always been a huge supporter/subsriber to natural window light.
    It is not always as easy as one might imagine, but it just takes some getting used to.
    Photographer talk about how you have to have balanced light, fill flash, reflectors and so on. but in my opinion such a practice introduces an unnatural flatness, ...

  • A tribute to a friend.

    by , 08-05-2011 at 12:59 PM
    A dear friend of 31 years, a colleague, a wicked math geek and the most generous friend a man can ask for. I shot the last one yesterday, it took me quite a while to be able to approach this subject with a calm and analytic mind. These are part of my personal mourning process.

    I wish strength to his family and may he rest in peace. ...

    I just won on this thing. But because I live in Canada I don't get it. They don't ship out of USA.

  • Flair with flare

    by , 07-25-2011 at 08:47 PM
    My daughter tried jumping on a trampoline for the very first time. I'm sure the look of these shots is not for everyone, but for me it conveys the exhilaration. We usually think that lens flare is bad. This time though the shots would have been same-o-same-o blah without it. Lens flare is bad, until the moment comes that dictates it's necessary. ...

  • Little Critters

    by , 06-22-2011 at 06:14 PM
    I've been going outside almost every morning to take photos of birds and I've gotten to know a few of the furrier animals as well. One of them showed up yesterday with a lame foot. Today is looks worse. I know that there's more than enough squirrels in this world. Still, it hurts to seem him limping along.
