A few weeks back I spent a night on Lake Augustin trying to catch some fish with Micky. This was the first time I’ve been fishing in over 20 years. Last time I went fishing was with my grandpa. I got bored and wandered off. He wasn’t too happy. Here… Read More »Fishing Lake Augustin

Sometimes in this project I think I got the shot that I wanted, only to find out later that I didn’t. Monday’s picture would be an excellent example. I did get a picture of Naima looking at the camera, only to discover that it was out of focus when I… Read More »Self-Portrait Project Week 18
After months of hype, Naima and I finally were able to make our 1st trip to the Ames Dog Park recently. Unfortunately, despite having a very good park system, Boone does not have a dog park. This is a hint for any would-be future Boone mayoral candidates out there. If… Read More »Dog Park

I added another lens to my arsenal recently. For many a moon I have longed for a fisheye lens. However, for a lens of limited use, the prices are often astronomical. However, after doing much research I did find a few that were priced reasonably. Not one this guy’s bank… Read More »Bower 8mm f/3.5 Fisheye

Sorrow and Gladness – 2012 My annual trip to the State Center Rose Garden was kind of bittersweet. I went earlier than normal because of how early flowers have been blooming this year. As it turns out, I probably went too early and it was definitely too windy to get… Read More »Personal Photo Project of the Week #110
Whispering Beauty – 2012 Peonies are perhaps my favorite flower that I don’t own. I’ve been considering remedying that recently, I’m just not quite sure where to put them in my yard. They are also the one flower I think that just begs you to go crazy with the saturation.… Read More »Personal Photo Project of the Week #108
