Ok everyone, I’m REALLY sorry.. Most of you have probably noticed (if you’ve tried to visit), the blog here has been totally messed up since really early this morning.
I had the GREAT friggin idea of moving the site to a different server to help with loadtimes and bandwidth issues that I’ve been having here, and […]

Thank GOD the trifecta of crappy holidays is almost over.. Thanksgiving, Christmas, only have New Years to get through, and let me tell ya… I can’t WAIT for it to all just be over and done with..
I’ve been invited to go to a few different “gatherings” for New years, and to tell you the truth, […]

Ok, so admittedly I’m pretty much a blogging newbie.. I’ve only been at it for like a month or so, and I’m sure this won’t be news for most of you.
A few of my favorite news feeds and blogs:
DPReview: Digital Photography Review and News
National Geographic News: Reporting Your World Daily
Tom’s Hardware: Yes, I’m […]

The water was a bit nippy, at a very chilly 33 degrees, and besides a couple […]

Another night where I just can’t seem to find the words to convey what I’m feeling.. So I’ll post a photo instead..
Took this on a walk through a favorite trail of mine up in Cannonsburg, MI.
Although everything was seemingly dead around it, and colorless, this little tree still proudly showed […]

Pantelis, I assume you are referring to your images, when posted (or uploaded) to the Web, do not look how they are supposed to. Dull, less contrast, less vibrant.. This is a very common problem. You spend time working on an image, […]

So last night, actually quite early this morning, as I was beginning to write my Weekly Photo Tip post, it occurred to me that I really have no idea what people want to know about with regards to photography.. As anyone that knows me can attest, I could talk photography literally all day long.. F-stops, […]

Ok, why is it that every friggin time I check my Gmail account I feel the need to cross my fingers and pray every time the page begins to load??
Google’s customized home page is great in theory. When it works, it works well. A customized starting page that allows me, with one click, to have […]

Took a hike in the woods this afternoon just trying to clear my mind, and came upon this lone leaf, floating in a puddle…
As the leaf drifted aimlessly, it reminded me that often we are not in control of all that is going on around us, and that sometimes we […]
