We’re off to Indianapolis for the Drum Corps Internationl World Championships tomorrow.  It’s are annual “thang”, and I’ll get to try out my new camera this year.  Out of the 12 corps that perform, I usually take 200 or so pics that I’ll share here and on flickr.
This will be our 7th year, and [...]

My Nikon D70 has been a great camera, but I haven’t taken a single photo since I started having trouble with the shutter release a few months ago.  Since then, I’ve been exploring the new cameras from Nikon.  I was fixated on the D700, but the new FX full frame format wouldn’t work completely with [...]

Halloween is one of the biggest parties of the year on Cedar Springs in Dallas. We’ve been the last thee years, but haven’t dressed up. The last two years, I kept thinking I should bring my camera and get some shots of all the amazing costumes.
So this year I decided to take my [...]

Dark Roasted Blend has posted a series of beautiful and haunting castles, just in time for Halloween.  I’ve been following Dark Roasted Blend for awhile, and while the posts are photo-intensive, they have some really great and often funny posts.

Of course, there are lots of talented artists out there on flickr who can make motion an [...]

I’ve recently stumbled across a wonderful photographer and storyteller on flickr.  Michael (aka “frogmuseum2″) has kindly given me permission to share one of his photos.  As you can see here, his characters come to life with their own little oddworld personas.   Since quirky is my favorite kind of art, this is right up my [...]

Pruned has posted a series of photos (with commentary) about the curious and fascinating “Broken Column House”, built just before the French Revolution by François Nicolas Henri Racine de Monville, an aristocrat with lots of time and money on his hands. Built to appear as a decaying broken column, the house [...]

I’ve been trying for some time now to get around to making an HDR image. I first learned of HDR when I started following Arnold Pouteau’s work on flickr. He’s posted alot of amazing HDR images of NYC.
If you’ve never heard of HDR (High Dynamic Range), it involves combining 3 different [...]
