Monday 9 May 2011: Hamilton County Courthouse at Twilight I’ve been playing with my new camera. Until mid-afternoon, when I experienced a minor epiphany about determining exposure and aperture settings. I was running home from the studio at twilight and decided to experiment a bit. I started with very long exposures and worked my way [...]

My daughter, Hannah, introduced me to Blipfoto.com during the summer of 2008. Blip is a Scottish website gallery that will host one photo each day. The idea is to develop an eye to get “that one photo” and share it every day. Over time each photographer develops a continuous journal of their activities, interests and [...]
Better Camera – Better Shots

I picked up my first DSLR (Digital Single Lens Reflex) camera late last week. I was serious about shooting back in the film days and could never afford to move beyond a point-and-shoot digital camera. My need for decent photos of my carvings for promotion and education has pushed me into picking up a serious [...]

The INDIEiana Handicraft Exchange Mini at the Irvington Halloween Festival was a huge success. The weather cooperated and folks (and a few ghosts and goblins) came out ready to purchase holiday gifts. I had a few opportunities to sing and play ukulele (with Phoebe) and my sales were much better than expected! As I’ve shared [...]

Last Saturday Kelley Jordan, photographer, was in my studio taking shots of my work for ETSY and for show applications. (More about Kelley later.) I really enjoy cool autumn air and had the door open. Kelley came in from shooting outside and announced that I had a bird in the studio. It took awhile for [...]

I’m hitting the road tomorrow for a grand road trip through the Adirondacks, the White and Green Mountains and then (my old stomping grounds) the Maine coast (We’re popping out at Pemaquid Point Light). I’m tagging along with photographer Ernie Mills. We’re looking at this as an artists retreat. I plan to bring my field [...]
Wild Bird Photography

I am always on the lookout for artists specializing in birds. Recently I became aware of the work of Paul Nelson of Minneapolis, MN. Paul combines studio photography, seamless background and flash, with wild birds in flight. The result is amazing. The bird’s wingbeats are frozen like you’ve never seen before and the image is [...]

Daily I visit Shorpy to get my fill of living in the past. Several times each day a very large high definition photograph is posted for analyzing and discussion. I am hooked!
