So, it’s been a while since I did some photoblogging, and I thought I would go ahead and do a photodump of pictures taken in the past two weeks. You should click on the photos for larger versions and to read more about them, but here’s a basic rundown: the tulips in D.C. are amazing [...]

I uploaded my 600th photo to Flickr today:

You know those things you mean to do but never seem to get around to finishing? Or even undertaking? Well, for me, one of those things was adopting Creative Commons for my Web site and photography.
A couple of weeks ago my employer sponsored a discussion led by Lawrence Lessig, who was unveiling his new project [...]

As a relative newcomer to D.C., one of the things I’d not seen was the cherry trees blossoming along the Tidal Basin. I made it down to the area twice this week to take some photos and take in the scene, and was simply amazed at the sheer number of blossoms and the beauty of [...]

I’m participating in the April Photo Challenge, and here’s my first image. The theme for the challenge is “entropy” or “devolution.” Basically, we’re looking for old and/or busted stuff and then taking photos!
Trevor Carpenter, the guy behind Photowalking.org and Photochallenge.org, has said “committing to shooting once a day, for a month, is not as hard [...]

Meredith took me to the Howard Peters Rawlings Conservatory and Botanic Gardens yesterday for their annual Spring Flower Show. One word: amazing. There were tulips and hyacinths and Easter lilies and daffodils galore, and the scent of the hundreds of blooms was almost as incredible as their beauty.
We arrived on the last day of the [...]

I did a little photowalking yesterday and got lucky a few times, especially in regard to the photo at left. It amazes me how often photography is a result of good luck. Great photography often flows from great planning and anticipation, but sometimes you can get wonderful results by grabbing the camera, saying, “I think [...]

So, since I last blogged I went to Brooklyn, saw The Little Mermaid, went to the Natural History Museum, walked across Central Park (again), went to the Met, saw the Guggenheim (wow, oh wow, was this an incredible exhibit), had a slice, went to the UN building, went to the top (well, almost) of [...]

So, yesterday I walked around Manhattan. Like, all of it. You can see the route I took below:

There’s more photos at the Flickr page, but here are a few of my favorites:

Meredith and I arrived in New York at about 3 p.m. (following a bus ride from Baltimore that was somewhat disconcerting because our driver never stopped talking on his phone). We walk about 7 blocks from our hotel until we reached Central Park, where we spent a couple of hours looking around. Above is [...]

I recently downloaded the Aperture 2 trial from Apple to see what it offers. I’m still exploring, but I absolutely love the concept. I don’t know, maybe Photoshop CS3 has some of these features, but take a look at the White Balance and Color sliders:

Yeah, you saw it right: when you want to adjust a [...]
