our new room.

After weeks and weeks of hard work… and many trips to Lowes, Laura has just about finished the upgrade to our office. She stripped all the old molding off from around the baseboard and in the closet. Pulled out all the panels in the closet and put beadboard up. It looks beautiful! On to the [ READ MORE ]

biking redondo beach to santa monica

Whew. So for Memorial Day this year, I decided to bike from Redondo Beach and meet Laura who was staying with Angie in Santa Monica. Sounds like fun, right? It was a goregeous day and it was great! The boardwalk by the beach is mostly flat so it was an easy ride. Mapmyrun.com said it [ READ MORE ]

canon 70-200mm f/2.8 IS L lens

The 70-200mm lenses are probably the most versatile. They are a great travel lens… able to do portraits, compress landscapes and capture images you can’t get closed to. The 2.8′s are a bit of monsters… over 3 lbs. But if you can carry it, it is certainly worth it… as is the IS if you [ READ MORE ]

apple takes 66% of $1000+ marketshare

I was a die hard PC user all my life. Until last year. I don’t know if it was because I moved to L.A. and became a shallow human being and just wanted a “pretty” computer or if I really did see an advantage. I had vocally swore off Mac’s claiming they were proprietary, over-priced [ READ MORE ]

canon 24mm f/1.4 L lens

The 24L is probably my favorite lens in my lineup. It was a lens I wanted for a long time. I had actually originally gotten the 35L (which is another FANTASTIC lens) and 24L to test against each other. I kept the 35L which was nice on my 1D Mark II and the PERFECT focal [ READ MORE ]

canon 1d mark III

To ease into the writing part of the blog, I’ll start on a subject I can talk endlessly about… photo gear. First up, the hub of a camera system: the body. I picked up a Canon 1D Mark III a few months ago. For the most part it is a great camera. But what a [ READ MORE ]

So after much debate, I decided to move my old photoblog to a more up-to-date blog. This will let me categorize and share some more than just pictures. I know what you are all thinking… yippee. Hope everyone enjoys[ READ MORE ]
