thought: chromatic aberrations and other important things

I recently did a fantastic workshop with Scott Montgomery, a photographer friend that I have admired for a long time. It was so good to talk shop with a real pro who is at the level and above where I am technically and professionally. I love to talk about photography but there’s a difference in [...]

gap: home from paradise

Jim had a fantastic trip to Namotu and returned home with some great images and a Fijian war club for being the best surfer in the group. He laughs as he tells me this means that he won’t be invited back next year! He got most of the waves….which means less for the other guys. [...]

gap: maliea in the garden

I plopped Maliea in front of the new fabric I found on etsy before I even had a chance to iron it. I can’t resist posting the images even though the background looks terrible with all the folds in it.

thought: it's gonna be lonely around here

I can’t believe Jim leaves for Namotu tomorrow. He is going on a much deserved surf trip to an amazing private island. I am so excited for him but I am so envious! I couldn’t leave the kids though. I just wouldn’t be able to go away like that so I am glad he can. [...]

thought gap: I need to touch baby sister

Merrik is literally obsessed with touching Maliea. He “needs” to touch her constantly. It is driving all of us crazy-except Maliea. Not yet at least. I have tried to emphasize that he not touch her hands-especially during eating and sleeping. But this is the most beautiful image of the two of them and I can [...]

Here’s a panorama I took from our backyard the other day because the sky was so gorgeous. I stitched it together in Photoshop using the photomerge automate command. Pretty cool!

some of them fix your kernal panicking G4 in 45 min flat. I have been dealing with kernel panics on my computer for over a year now. I have just put up with it on a daily basis (for all non mac users, a kernel panic is when the system software crashes and the screen [...]
