Picture: Ninja rock climber on granite, Joshua Tree National Park, California

This is the photo I *was* going to post yesterday, before the point when I realized my weblog was “gone down”, “taking a nap”, “momentarily offline”, “on a break”, “in seclusion”, or any other manner of describing something currently unavailable.
I like this image because it feels a little different. [...]

Picture: Looking out the barrack window at horse in corral, Pipe Springs National Monument, near Fredonia, Arizona
 I mentioned previously that I was starting to process the images from my trip last fall to Southern Utah and Northern Arizona. I’m actually now about 2/3rds of the way through the raw conversions, and so far I have [...]

Picture: Granite boulder balanced in wedge rock, Joshua Tree National Park, California

This week I finished imaging all of the shots from my trip to the Palm Springs region. You’ll remember a couple posts back with the footsteps in the sand dune, I mentioned I was about half way done. Well, Horray! I’m now done with the [...]

Lightroom 1 arrives

Wednesday, February 21st, 2007

During the NANPA convention last month, I attended a digital workflow seminar with noted photographer George Lepp. During his presentation, he showed off features of a beta program called Adobe Lightroom. The beta was quick and packed with stuff. Now, George admitted he was using Jpegs for the presentation to boost the speed performance; although [...]

Photo: Mountain Sunset Reflection in Yosemite

Tuesday, February 20th, 2007

Picture: Alpenglow at sunset on Mount Dana, reflected in alpine tarn at Tioga Pass, Yosemite National Park, California

It’s going to be a number of months until this scene can be seen just like this. At just shy of 10,000 feet in elevation, Tioga Pass should be deep in snow, with grass covered meadows now lying under [...]

Picture: School bus on road through the desert at sunrise, near Ocotillo Wells, San Diego County, California

On my recent trip to Southern California last month, I had one of those moments of sheer clarity; a true, “Thank God” moment. It was about 6:03 AM on a Monday morning as I was heading into Joshua Tree [...]

Photo: Footprints on a sand dune

Tuesday, February 13th, 2007

Picture: Footsteps along the ridge of a sand dune at sunrise, Algodones Dunes, Imperial Valley, near Brawley, California.

I have that feeling again, as I sit here at my desk, neck deep in production. This is one of 300 images taken over a five day shoot around my attendence of the NANPA Conference in Palm Springs. [...]

And the winners for this year are:

Sunday, February 11th, 2007

Several image galleries worth taking a look at represent the winners of two notable “Of The Year” contests.
First up are the ten winning images of the 2006 World in Focus Photo Contest put on by National Geographic Traveler Magazine. These are usually pretty images of places and cultures. FWIW, I was a Merit Award winner in this [...]

Ma Bell vs Pa Gates

Wednesday, February 7th, 2007

Batton down those proverbial IP hatches, as AT&T is about to have a Supreme Court face-off with Microsoft over some intellectual property involving every PC sold running Windows software. Microsoft admits infringing on AT&T’s patent of a Digital Speech Coder when it developed it’s Windows OS, but new issues involve transnationallization and a potential $1 [...]

New Photo of the Month; February 2007

Saturday, February 3rd, 2007

Picture: Coastal rocks and fog along the bluffs at Cambria, San Luis Obispo County, Central Coast, California.

We’re having such a mild winter here in the Bay Area, that aside from the mild chill in the air, we could be considered “seasonless”. One of the great things about the climate along the central part of California’s [...]
