Welcome!

So this is my chance to tell you how totally cool I am, but honestly I'm not sure if I can really sum up myself in two or three paragraphs.  Let's start with the basics.

I love the sound that the shutter makes when I take a photograph, especially when there are really cool people on the other side of the lens.

I deny any conversations that take place before my first cup of coffee.

I love a glass of 18-year-old scotch, almost as much as a glass of chocolate milk.

I love making people love how they look in photos. I love to travel and experience new places.

I love that last bit of milk in the bottom of the cereal bowl.

I love life's simple pleasures.  I love life's not so simple pleasures.

I love sushi.  Lots and lots of sushi.

I love movies, especially ones by Tarantino.

I think TV shows on DVD is one of the 20th century's best inventions.

But in the meantime, I had to share something that I found the other...

Day 17 – Random Shots from Carefree

Wednesday, January 21, 2009 Posted in Personal

Ok.  So I have a few shots from my time at Carefree (the resort where our convention was held) that just don’t fit into any other categories.
We were shooting around on the last day and found an old building where they apparently set up for Halloween and never took the people down.  It was a...

Tuesday, January 13, 2009 Posted in Personal

The first one is actually from walking around in Bordeaux, and the rest are...

Day 11 – Rory

Last week, my new camera and lens combo arrived.  Unfortunately, I was so busy working on images that I didn’t get a chance to really play with it.  Trust me, you will see lots of cool stuff about that soon.
But I couldn’t resist shooting a few frames to give it a test run.  And since...
