2009-07-19T00:04:00.001-07:00

I borrowed this photo from Emily’s blog (mnlop.blogspot.com). It’s Will recuperating after he had an accident at the beach where he was so excited to frolic in the waves, but got disoriented as the waves were receding and tipped over and fell on his face. Saddest photo I’ve ever seen – he cheered up by the end of the day though. (Some Beach, CA)

This is the kind of lighting that I bought this camera and lens to be able to capture. (New York, NY)

2009-07-15T22:47:00.001-07:00

Columbus Circle from above. By the way, that long room you see in the upper right-hand corner of the photo is a swimming pool (which I obviously do not have access to). (New York, NY)

2009-07-02T23:34:00.001-07:00

John feeling very much at home in Sydney – hard to tell because of the shadows, but there’s a smile on his face. (Sydney, Australia)

2009-07-02T20:48:00.000-07:00

2009-06-07T21:00:00.001-07:00

I took this picture from a replay on TV of last year’s Wimbledon final, sad that Federer didn’t meet Nadal in the French Open final that just happened. I have no idea what I’d do with it, but I want a giant hi-resolution image of these two playing each other. (Wimbledon, England)

2009-06-03T15:34:00.001-07:00

Not bad for a cell phone camera, says me. (New York, NY)

2009-05-31T19:48:00.001-07:00

Manhattan from the water. Nobody warned me that the harbor cruise was going to be a dance party. (New York, NY)

2009-05-30T01:07:00.001-07:00

My bedroom doesn’t have a stunning view of Central Park, but I can definitely see a corner and a middle part. I like seeing the faces of the buildings along the South end of the park. (New York, NY)

2009-05-27T21:29:00.001-07:00

Next time I’m there I’ll try shooting this with CameraBag’s black and white filters for comparison, I’m mad I didn’t this time. This was taken with my small point-and-shoot. Speaking of cameras, the 5D is currently unalive and waiting to be mailed in for repairs, sad to say, so no SLR pics of New York for a few weeks. (New York, NY)

2009-05-12T02:25:00.001-07:00

Looking for a name for this new CameraBag filter. It simulates an effect called “bleach bypass” that’s often used in magazine spreads and fashion photo shoots. Suggestions? I'm thinking "Magazine" or "Fashion". The unaltered version is here. (Belmont, MA)

2009-05-01T01:40:00.001-07:00

This has nothing to do with swine flu, and everything to do with British rap. (Seattle, WA)

2009-03-04T01:49:00.001-08:00

The New Zealand national museum is... (Wellington, New Zealand)

Queenstown, Tom, Queenstown, repeat. (Queenstown, New Zealand)

2009-02-20T04:38:00.001-08:00

I love how many of the things we come up with to “do” basically involve taking normal daily tasks and making them much more difficult (I’m looking at you, camping). This is the Minus 5 Bar, which is a bar in a freezer, with ice cups and parkas. (Queenstown, New Zealand)

2008-12-16T02:27:00.001-08:00

It can shoot movies that look like this. (Seattle, WA)

Of course we did, don't be ridiculous. (Seattle, WA)

2008-11-30T02:45:00.001-08:00

Observing our Thanksgiving tradition (making one British and one hard-core rap song). Can anyone guess A) what that thing in the upper right hand corner is being used for, and B) what it's made of? (Seattle, WA)

2008-11-25T20:07:00.001-08:00

This empty concert stage represents our unfulfilled dreams. (Seattle, WA)
