First I noticed more black squirrels in our neighborhood. Then I read this article in the Daily Mail, which says they’re more aggressive and thus compete better for food. Then I saw this, a brawl between a black squirrel and a grey squirrel, during a walk on Beach Drive.
The black squirrel attacked the grey squirrel [...]
» Go to this postA couple of months ago, I had a crazy idea, which I thought might just work: get a 1080p HDTV, a really nice one, and use it as my computer monitor. The advantage: cheaper and bigger than 30″ LCD monitors. I also found a model that I thought couldn’t be beat — one that displayed [...]
» Go to this postI suppose this won’t come as a surprise to the more serious photographers out there, but I thought I’d let you know anyway. You can order prints via Flickr, that’s common knowledge. And when you do that, you can choose to pick them up at your local Target store instead of waiting to get them [...]
» Go to this postThe Beatrix Potter Collection (3 DVD set) was just released for sale on 2/12. Ligia and I bought the set just a few days ago, and we’re very happy that we did it. The series was done very well by the BBC. Each DVD contains three animated stories, and each story has a live action [...]
» Go to this postThe following photos are from a recent still life session with a bouquet of tulips. The fresh green and yellow colors floor me every time I look at tulips. I love those colors!
I liked these photos best out of all the ones I took that evening, and decided to publish all of them here. I [...]

The Olympus SP-560 Ultra Zoom is just about as good and versatile a camera as you can get, short of a DSLR. I’ve been using this late-model digital camera for the last month, and I’m very impressed [...]
I know Collier’s has been gone for a long time, but when I see stuff like this, or this or this, I can’t help but love it. Maybe we should have more drawings in our magazines, and they should be done with the same classy style and atmosphere. Things are a bit too realistic nowadays. [...]
» Go to this postRemember this post of mine, where I tried to discern among the various LCD monitors on the market, but couldn’t get anywhere when I dug a little deeper into the Apple Cinema Display specs? I wrote that on 4/30/07, and nothing has changed since then.
I was looking at the specs for the 15″ MacBook Pro [...]
» Go to this postI mentioned Trevor Carpenter’s 2008 Challenge in a previous post. The aim is to document your community through photos, something I’ve been doing all along, but it’s fun to participate anyway. Here are my two photos for this week — I couldn’t really keep to one…
They’re both taken from our terrace in the morning hours. [...]
The pure color of these rose petals reminds me of fresh spring rain, washing away the cold mud of winter from plants too hesitant to fully bloom. There’s the expectant hope of better, warmer days, and the creamy, bright, white background practically radiates optimism. Yes, I manipulated the colors, but that’s makes this photo more [...]
» Go to this postI’ve liked these flowers ever since I was a child. Even though their fragrance isn’t pleasing, I’ve always thought they more than made up for that with their beauty: their soft, velvety petals and their saturated colors. Ligia bought me a few last week because she knew how much I liked them. Here’s one of [...]

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 [...]
