» Go to this postUpdated 10/29/2007: I’ve revised my opinion of Zooomr since I wrote this. See “Taking a break from Zooomr” for the details.
I’m sure we’re all waiting for Zooomr’s Mark III and wondering what’s going on with Kris. There have been a lot of questions floating in the air since Zooomr missed its scheduled launch date for [...]

For the past month, I’ve been using the Canon EOS 30D as my primary camera, and I love it. I’ve taken over 5,000 photos with it. I actually got a bit sad when I had to send [...]
Part of the fun of having a good camera is using it in all sorts of situations, inclement weather included. It was raining during one particular afternoon last month, and to top it off, it was windy and ridiculously cold (somewhere between 34-38 degrees Fahrenheit). Yet I really wanted to go out and take photos, [...]
» Go to this postI really like to find patterns and shapes in everyday objects. Whenever I get a few free moments, I look around me to see what I can spot. It’s fun, and it’s oddly relaxing. There I am, frowning, concentrating, making sure I get the right lighting, angle, exposure and focus (or lack of, depending on [...]
» Go to this postBack in February, Ligia and I plus good friends of ours took a photowalk through downtown DC. Our objectives: the Watergate Hotel and the Kennedy Arts Center. I used my Exakta EXA Ia to take the photographs. It was a lot of fun to use it, as always. I still love to shoot on film, [...]

I’d always read about dirty-talking parrots in books, so it’s fun to hear one live. Beware though, this one’s NSFW:
A walrus does situps. Just look at that blubber flex:
Have you ever seen a baby pygmy goat suckle from a bottle? You should, it’s a treat:

» Go to this postThis is a photo of the ceiling mural inside the chapel of Mount St. Mary University. Ligia and I were passing through the Maryland countryside on our way back from Gettysburg, we liked the architecture, and stopped to take photos. I have a ton more to postprocess, but really wanted to post this photo today [...]
» Go to this postI’ve been saving a few documentary clips from YouTube, and wanted to share them with you. The first, included below, is a glimpse into the world of prescription drug marketing, and it’s a trailer for a movie called “Side Effects”.
Have you heard of Lake Peigneur? It disappeared into an underground salt mine (along with part [...]
» Go to this postLigia and I both watched this video and found it strange. It’s abnormal for a mother to breast-feed her daughters up to 8 years of age. It can’t be good for them, long-term. And I find the mother’s excuse very short-sighted. In effect, she says it’s up to her children to decide when to stop [...]
» Go to this postThose of you who follow my blog know I love color. I always look for ways to increase the intensity and range of the colors in my photos. I like to call it WCR (Wide Color Range). Who knows what it’s really called… Since I’m self-taught, that’s what I call it. I wrote recently about [...]
