Awesome picture Barbara! This is exactly what my cat looks like every morning when I open my eyes!

Day 011 Today I got to thinking about how I could single handedly save the world's energy crisis. So I started plugging away at complicated mathematical formulas and after about half an hour I had a working prototype. Unfortunately, right after I took this photo, the bulb exploded which...

Don't pop my bubble! I'm starting to think I have the "Good Guy" mark on my records. I never get a ticket if I get pulled over. I breeze through TSA lines. The most customs has ever asked me is, "How was your trip?" Now, my wife on the other hand, always gets a ticket. She get's searched by...

Day 010 (Now we're in the double digits!)This is Jay, he's one of our Greyhounds. His racing name was Rapido Jay with an ear tattoo of 25E-30886. He has seven brothers and sisters. His Sire is Rapido Omar, and his Dam is Rapido Tamara, none of which I've seen. Out of 37 races, he won 6 and...

Day 009 (NOT in the double digits! See next photo.) Slight delay posting today's photo due to the wife hogging the computer for graduate classes... Like that's an excuse. Pshaw! Anyways, I couldn't do just one photo, so I did 120 of them. This is my first attempt at this. If adjusting the...

This is what I saw. This is what my camera saw. See! Lots to learn still!

Day 008 Today was the day! I finally caught that silly ghost train that goes by all the time! I'll have to try to catch it again someday when it's warmer. I spent 2 hours waiting for it today. Brrrr! What I saw, and what my lens saw were two different things, so I severely cropped the...

Day 007 What I was going to shoot today did not show up. Haven't seen it all day. Don't know where it is. Don't know why that is. Usually something bad has happened when it doesn't show up. So I'll try again some other day. Meanwhile, here's a candle. Along with our three favorite...

According to Wikipedia, the term high tech refers to technology that is at the cutting edge: the most advanced technology currently available. It is often used in reference to micro-electronics, rather than other technologies. The adjective form is hyphenated: high-tech or high-technology...

My first self portrait, and the first photo I realized that my lens needed cleaning.

Day 006 Up at 2am and no reason for it. Too cold to go outside, so I was perusing the web for some inspiration. I thought, "That'd be easy enough!" Yeah, well... We're now down one glass casserole pan, I'm down a few ml of blood, and it just ain't as easy as it looks. I definitely need to...

Just havin' fun with the camera today. The center section of our bookcase.

Day 005 Guess I'm not awake yet, but I tried. There's still the whole day to get through though. Had to do some wine work this morning, so might as well get some photos. 90 bottles of Riesling, Zinfandel, and Pinot in various stages of fermentation. The moon "shot"

The Stars! Day 004 Today, the stars are shining bright. So outside I go to freeze to death, and take pictures of the stars! ...and that's exactly why I shot a drop instead. Star photos just are no good. Going to have to read up on that too! I sure have a lot of reading to do.

Thanks for pointing me at Paul Buff, I've never even seen that before. After reading your advice and a bunch of other stuff I found on lighting, I think I am going to move in that direction. Just a couple more questions if I could pick your brain for a second. Having never seen these, I was...

Day 003 Today's photo is sponsored by Coca-Cola! Well, in my dreams anyway.

First Nude Portrait! Day 002 I finally found a model that didn't mind posing nude, so I took advantage of her. I've been working on getting my totally subpar lighting just perfect for portraits, and I think I nailed this one!
