A Daily Photo: The Brooklyn Bridge
The Brooklyn Bridge. It was completed in 1883 and it links Brooklyn to Manhattan. It’s also possible to take the Manhattan Bridge from Brooklyn, but it’s far less picturesque. I’ve been to the Brooklyn Bridge a few times to take pictures with the first time being when I bought my Fujifilm Finepix S7000. This was…

A Daily Photo: Lomography Store
What can I say about visiting the Lomography store that hasn’t already been said? It provides a very interesting contrast with B&H Photo Video. B&H is a photographer’s sex dream. There are cameras and lenses of all kinds everywhere (on the second floor, nowadays). A conveyor belt system brings your order to the guy taking…

This is part of my NYC Tet Travelogue. See part one here. See part two here. — ?this was originally written on 14 Feb 2010 Life sure is strange. This morning I was sure I’d be buying a Holga today. After talking to Danielle, it even seemed that SHE would get one too. She wanted…

NYC Tet Trip Day 2
Part of my NYC Tet Travelogue. See part one here. this entry was originally written on ?13 Feb 2010 I went to the Lomography store yesterday and it was a very interesting experience. The store matches the aesthetic of the Lomography movement. It has a very casual feel to it. It definitely belongs in Greenwich…

NYC Tet Trip Day 1
After reading Dan’s great Japan travelogue, Super Ichiban Travel Blog, and another source where someone had his children always keep a journal when they travel, I decided I wanted to do this as well. To practice for when I go to some place that’s foreign to me, I decided to start keeping a journal when…

To ‘shop or Not to ‘shop
If you read anywhere on the web, you’ll see people talking about how Photoshop (and digital photo manipulation) is ruining the purity of photography. People argue endlessly about this as if they could get everyone on their side. Guess what? This controversy is older than radio. Recently I’ve been reading the great photography history, How…

A Daily Photo: Busy Feeder
It was busy at the bird feeders with all the new birds. This little guy was unable to find a spot to land. I don’t know what he didn’t like about the bottom peg.

A Daily Photo: Digging Out
This is one of our neighbors clearing the snow out in his yard. Not sure what he was making a path to. Perhaps for his dog to be able to get to where he goes to relieve himself?

A Daily Photo: Weathering Out the Storm
In case you’ve been under a rock lately, Maryland, DC, and Virginia got rocked by a huge El Niño system over the weekend. It dumped over three feet of snow in my neighborhood and nearly three feet everywhere else. The birds weathered it pretty well. Well, it helps that I felt bad for them and…

A Daily Photo: Getting Dry
Sometimes the simplest things in life give the best pleasure. I love watching animals do the things they do. I pass by this lake chock-full of geese every day on my way to work. They’re only there in the morning before they go out in search of food and whatever it is geese do during…

Lighting Techniques 4: How I shot this
In this post I decided to take you through my thought process in lighting the photo. Because I wanted the knife as close to the camera as possible (while still being in focus), I had to lower the intensity of the flash on the camera. But that meant I would end up too dark, so…

Review: openSuse 11.2
I took a look at openSuse 11.1 nearly a year ago and so it’s time to see what’s changed with openSuse 11.2. For those new to my blog, when I review a new version of a distro I’ve reviewed before, I usually just do a comparison to the previous review. Also important to know is…
