Having just bought a used 40D from Ron Horn, I was very interested in www.dpreview.com ‘s take on the 50D which just came out a few days ago. They basically said to save $400 and just buy a 40D, as the 50D is not too much better than the 40D. I am not convinced. What [...]

When Holly and I started dating, she said she liked how I looked with the goatee really well, so I decided to keep my goatee until a day FAR in the future. Little did I know that today would be the day to get a clean shave. Kyle Fossman organized a beard growing competition with [...]

UNBELIEVABLE!!! Check out the photo! The Canon 85mm f1.2 – that’s her secret! (A $1400 lens, notice all the lenses are identical) The funny thins is she has three of them–which if you know anything about cameras and lenses is pretty funny. Of course this isn’t true. The reason to carry more than one lens [...]

August 12, 2008 It’s that time of year again: Time to get older. Time to do my favorite things. Time to sleep in, have pizza for dinner, eat Margaret’s masterful Carrot Cake, take pictures and blog about life. My boat’s still awaiting the two big gears from Twin Disc, so I couldn’t go fishing this [...]

There’s only one week left of Teeball: there’s a Wednesday practice, then a double header on Saturday. Today we went to Teeball and had a great time. Mark is really coming along, in terms of enjoying the game, hitting the ball, throwing the ball, catching the ball, and understanding the game. When he batted, I [...]

My oldest brother Jack is married to Jennifer and they have four kids: John, Joy, Joanna, and Jessica. So they are known as the J6 family. Although I don’t think I actually ever say ‘family’ after I say J6. They weren’t always J6. For a while they were Jack and Jennifer, then they were J3, [...]

This is a ridiculous picture, but we did have a bit of snowfall last week. We’re having a wonderful time here in Haines. Holly and the boys put up the Nativity scene on the 24th. Here’s Mark putting up the manger and baby Jesus. There were plenty of presents to open. Notice the snow in [...]

It’s been a while since I’ve had a chance to blog. Sorry about that. I’ve been busy, and I don’t have internet on the boat–which is about the only place I have time to write. The Wedding at Paradise cove was very fun to shoot. All-in-all, I shot probably 2200 pictures during the three days. [...]

Monday, April 17, 2006 Easter weekend It was a fun weekend for photography. The weather was semi-cooperative for the track meet–it didn’t rain, but it didn’t really shine either and the track was wet. Many of the kids were shivering and red from the cold wind. Covering a track meet by myself is a difficult [...]

Wednesday, February 22, 2006 One more basketball weekend From what I can tell, there’s just one basketball weekend left. It’s been a good season and I’ve learned a lot, photographically. I still haven’t gotten the wire that’s supposed to connect a 20D to the Pocketwizard, so I haven’t done any behind the backboard shots, which [...]
