I have been fascinated with the way that beverages, glass and light interact recently. I have been trying to capture the essence of that fascination, but it does not translate to photography well. This image is a positive step towards being able to capture it, although, I still can not actually focus fizz.
Out of all of the shots I took yesterday, I don’t know why I picked this one. This one jumped out at me. Something about the 3 different areas of light against an otherwise dark composition seems interesting. I did this shot right after doing my own attempt at a “challenge shot” that I had […]
I decided recently that I wanted to learn more about light, in terms of how to use it to get the photo I want and how to best illuminate subjects. The book that all serious photographers seem to lean toward is “Light: Science and Magic”, so I bought it. Open it up and it will […]

For this day I did several shots, but I decided to go with something more classically me that also showcases the talents of my new toy.

I think the shot would have been better with the 70-300mm lens, […]
On September 25, 2009, I begin Project 365. This day has been chosen because it is the first day of service for my Nikon D90. The way this is going to work for me is simple; I will be taking at least one photo every day, and then posting it on the following day. I […]
This morning I am watching a USPS package work its way through the system. To my surprise, the package is being tracked better through USPS than if it were moving through UPS.
