OK, New Plan. Part I
I think we can all agree that this year went a little sideways. If things had gone to plan I’d have picked Jessie up in Atlanta over a month ago, spun through the Florida Keys, lingered for three weeks, then come up the Eastern seaboard, and back into Canada. By now I’d be heading east toward the Maritimes, finally to …
Photographically Speaking: I’m Done.
Just a quick update on the newest book, Photographically Speaking. I was genuinely worried how far we’d have to push the deadlines out on this after my accident but if there’s one things everyone knows, including publishers and Kathy Bates, it’s that a writer with broken ankles gets way more done than his colleagues that waste all their time with …
Twilight I, Tahoe, JUST RELEASED.
Twilight I, Tahoe [hana-code-insert name=’ADD – TAHOE’ /][hana-code-insert name=’VIEW – TAHOE’ /] It’s been a long time since I did much more with my work than either hand it over to clients or put it in a book. In February I set out in Jessie, my intrepid Land Rover Defender, in part to change all that. I started shooting for …
1000
Today marks my 1000th post, more if you count some of the drivel I edited out when I moved this blog over from Typepad years ago. I had all kinds of ideas about how to mark this 1000th post, but none of them were exceptionally good, and to be honest all I really want to say is Thank You. …
July 2011 Wallpaper
Iceland, August 2010. This is a 1920×1200 wallpaper, so it’ll do for anything up to a 17″ MacBook Pro. Click the image to access the larger file. June 30th was my mother’s birthday, so I let her pick the wallpaper this month. She loves this one, so the rest of you are stuck with it. 🙂 Seems a small thing …
Impressions
Impression I, II, III All three photographs were made with my iPhone 4, cropped to 4×5, and processed with the Magic Hour filter, all in the Camera+ app. I tweaked curves slightly, and added borders in Photoshop after import. One of the first things I did when the Ottawa Hospital finally let me have a Day Pass to go wreak …
The Record is Skipping: DO WHAT YOU LOVE
Quick snapshot by Corwin, one morning this spring in Death Valley. The over-zealous use of the high-pass filter can only be blamed on me though. _____________________________________________ Keep reading, I did the draw for the Artist Print of Twilight I, Tahoe this morning and I’ll announce the winner at the end of this post. _____________________________________________ Another idealistic post this morning, …
Buy The Tickets.
A door in Jodhpur, photographed on my first trip to India. Images from that trip benefited me more than the best lens I could have bought or the newest camera, never mind the experience and life-long memories themselves. I ran across a great article this morning on the Adventure Journal. Simply the premise was, “You don’t need all the …
Giving Away an Artist’s Print of Twilight I, Tahoe.
A mock-up of the Twilight I, Tahoe, prints to be released within the next month. Trolling through my own archives I see that two years ago today as Within The Frame was just about to come out I gave away the cover photograph from Within The Frame on beautiful 16×20 APC gallery wrap canvas. So I’d like to do something …
Recent Interviews
Over the last week I’ve done podcast interviews with two great guys. The first was with Matt Brandon, a great friend and collaborator. The second was with a new friend, Martin Bailey. Both interviews touch on similar themes and gave me a chance to talk about my accident, the brevity of life, and other topics that gave me a chance …
