OUT OF MY ELEMENT

Posted by on Jul 18, 2012 in BLOG | 0 comments I sold my trusty Element today. Kind of sad to see the best car I have ever had disappear, but it is going to a good home :-). Amine and his family will use it for all sorts of cool things. Taking off my logo was kind of a sad finish but it totally makes sense. I am now carless and it looks like my weekend plans will now have me needing to RIDE my bike to Mt. Vernon (150 km?)… I guess the...

FOLLOWING THE CROWD OR BLAZING YOUR OWN TRAIL

Posted by on Jun 29, 2012 in BLOG | 2 comments My sister sent this to me today. If it is hard to read it says: “The one who follows the crowd will usually get no further than the crowd. The one who walks alone is likely to find himself in a place that no one else has ever been” It is attributed to Albert Einstein, but am not sure if it is Einstein’s quote – I cant find it on the web attached to him.

BIG FRAMING JOB

Posted by on Jun 28, 2012 in BLOG | 0 comments In the midst of framing some aerail photos I took of ships a few months back. These will end up being 4 feet wide by 2 feet tall. I have to make three of them too! Lots of work. Lovely matting and plaques etc. Should look very nice I think.

Posted by on Jun 22, 2012 in BLOG | 0 comments Nice photo Mike Heller! Mike was one of the 27 at my photo workshop on June 10th and pulled out this very cool wide angle image. I had been mentioning that a wide angle lens is my absolute favorite to travel with since you can convey so much information. This indeed does that too. Shows what is going on and includes a huge amount of information on who is in the room. Thanks to all that attended...
