It is fairly well documented that I don’t enjoy this aspect of my church’s Good Friday service, but I do know a good photo opportunity when I see it!

A few more pictures from our Good Friday Service.

This is supposed to be the last year that Logan portrays Jesus on the cross. It may be the case because he could be in a far off land attending college next year.

Instagram!

In one of my few blogs of the last few months I wrote about a camera phone app called Lightbox. I wrote how I was tired of waiting for Instagram to come to Droid, so I was trying out an alternative.

In the last week or so, Instagram finally came to Droid! I wasn’t sure I would enjoy it as much as the hype, but I truly do. I publish pretty much every every Instagram photo on Twitter (of course) and on Facebook (biting my tongue and trying to forget how much I hate Facebook), so many of you have already seen these images.

For the rest of you, here is a collection of my first Instagram images:


If you have an iPhone or a Droid I highly recommend downloading and playing with Instagram. Of course, I recommend you following me on Instagram as well.

My only note of concern is that Facebook recently bought Instagram (for 1 billion dollars), so I do worry that they will destroy it like most other things they touch, but I will hold out hope.

Personal Photo Project of the Week #112



Class of 2012

I have to confess that not all Personal Photo Projects end up being a success as I see them. This one fits into that category.

I wanted to get a picture of Logan’s entire class throwing their hats in the air, but I’m just too far away for this picture to work for me on a meaningful level, but I do share my failures along with my success.

An uncropped attempt:




Oh well, maybe when Logan graduates from college.

Tamron SP60mm f/2 Di II 1:1 Macro Auto Focus Lens

There has been a void in my computer bag since last August when my favorite lens went kaput. I finally got around to replacing it recently.

This is the 1st picture I took with the new lens.


Here are a few of the technical specifications of the new lens:

Angle of View: 26 degrees 35 minutes
F stop range: 2.0-22
Closest Focusing Distance: 9.1 inches

I really love this new lens!
