  • Art on the Line: The Clothesline Show

    I will be at The Clothesline Show from 10am to 5pm Sunday August 23 2009 with a selection of canvas and more traditional prints.

  • Land and Sea

    The Coast Collective gallery is having a Land and Sea show August 6-23 2009.

  • Print Gallery Created

    It’s been really quiet on this website, but I’ve been quite busy photographically this past year. I suppose the big news would be a purchase of a 24″ z3100 HP printer.

  • Tadpoles and Caterpilars

    Our kids are raising some caterpilars and tadpoles. A great time to try out my macro lens. Results could be better, but it was fun.

  • First Impression

    My new Canon EOS 1Ds Mark II finally arrived yesterday. I’ve only had time to unpack it and take a few snaps, but it’s awfully nice.

  • New Camera – Canon EOS-1Ds Mark II

    My thoughts on spending $12,000 to order the Canon EOS-1Ds Mark II, a couple of basic camera lenses and a flash.
