For some darn reason, I’m occasionally getting blank messages from the white message box on the contact page. I don’t know what’s wrong, but I’m thinking it might be from using a reassigned function key instead of just clicking the send button. So if you haven’t heard from me, it’s not because I’m too lazy and snobbish to …
Well, the holiday season is over, that means another year has gone by!! I hope everyone had a fun and prosperous year, and look forward to a bit more prosperity this year, right! For me, last year was busy, both here at the site, and my photo business, but I have much more planned for this year on both …
While I was busy bad-mouthing the Sony A33, I forgot to mention I made some money off it before I sent it back!
A Realtor called me one day last month and asked if I could get a good shot of an empty lot that was up for sale. It just so happened that It was a week-end, I …

Nikon SB900s and a Nikon 200-400mm lens ($6000) to flash shoot surfers at Ocean Beach pier in San Diego, CA. It’s a super expensive way to go, but the results are worth it, (especially if a company is paying you). The first 6 minutes …
