Be Ready for the Rain

The other day I commented that of the five Grand Prix rounds I’ve covered so far this season, it has rained at four of them, Qatar, Germany, the U.K., and Indianapolis. It rained at Donington last year, too, when the only wet weather gear I had was a parka and an umbrella. Fortunately I was […]

Morning Skyline

Taking a short break from my current task. Someone contacted me about the possibility of putting three San Francisco landscape images together as a set, which has sent me back through my catalogue looking for good candidates to put together into a triptych. It has been a very interesting exercise, as well as one that […]

Details, Details…

I spent another enjoyable hour on the set of Kilo today and found it just as interesting as on Sunday, perhaps a little more so due to the fact that the crew were filming an interior scene. Kilo had taken over the Homestead tavern for the day and somehow managed to cram sound, lighting and […]

Rolling!

Had a real treat yesterday, having been invited to a movie set by some friends who are working on their independent film, Kilo. This project is a kind of follow up to the Film Racing winner, Sweep, which, like the other films in this national contest, was produced in 24 hours. Rather than retell the […]

Friday morning

Sometimes it’s the details that tell the story. Driving in this morning I passed several police checkpoints. Some cars were diverted to side roads, others let through. I assume it was my P1 parking sticker that got me through the various stacks of German police vehicles, but I don’t know for sure why some cars […]

Riders for Health

I’ve been speaking to some of you lately about my recent involvement with an organization called Riders for Health, and if I’ve not shared this link with you already, I invite you to check out this short video which explains better than I what Riders does that is so important. Though I had heard about […]

Winter Sunrise

Sunrise this morning was at 6:04 AM, which means that to get the shot above at this time of year, I’d have to be in position and ready to go at 5 AM, and since it takes me a good hour to get from home to this spot, I’d need to get up at 4AM. […]

Sensing New Possibilities

Some time ago I posited the notion that as technology continues to cram more and more pixels onto DSLR sensors, that growing capacity could be used not merely to make higher resolution images, but alternatively to gather more dynamic range with each exposure. Instead of bracketing a given shot twice, a 24 mega-pixel sensor could […]

Morning at Zabriskie Point, Death Valley

The weather on our trip to Death Valley was WINDY, blowing sand and dust into the air and largely obscuring the distant mountains to the point that photographing them was often pointless. Mother Nature certainly has to be in the mood to help if you’re going to get a nice landscape. The day before we left, she was. My cousin […]

A Favorite Looking Back

Had a chat this morning with a friend and she asked which was my favorite photo from my trip to the Southwest in April. I’d have to say it’s this one, for several reasons. This was taken in Lower Antelope Canyon. My three friends, Tyler, John, and Suad, had been to the upper canyon the year before, and were […]
