Why am I showing you snapshots taken with a crappy Nikon E-775 point & shoot? Mostly because I have a new puppy that's peeing on my carpet and chewing everything in sight. He seems extra ambitious tonight and, try as I have, I just can't get the post that I wanted to write completed this evening. My advice to you is to buy stock in the folks who make Bounty paper towels, because I'm going to be buying a lot of them.
The other reason this came to mind is because I was in decent shape then, and now I'm not. So I started working on changing that fact this week. Back to the gym, working with a dietician, and learning that cupcakes just won't work now. I even had to block my favorite cupcake lady on Facebook so I won't be tempted. I should probably block the guys who make those great ribs, too.
So my apologies for the lame post today. I'll work on wrangling this puppy to the ground so I can get some work done.

Understanding Focal Length I was on a photography forum when a discussion came up about the differences between wide angle lenses and telephoto lenses. I thought this was a good topic to discuss some key differences and how to choose a lens for a given result. Most of this post came from my contribution to…
I think there’s a law of the universe that requires photographers to create photos of every lighthouse they see. With that in mind, I had no choice but to shoot Castillo del Morro in Havana.
