While browsing the library for a good book on photography, I stumbled upon The Joy of Digital Photography. It was one of the newest books the library had on digital photography, so I figured it was worth a try.
The Joy of Digital Photography can be divided into 3 main sections; general orientation & the basics [...]

With Faith’s wedding just 3 weeks away, it’s time for me to get the last of the wedding photography prep work done. The main thing I need to do still is a timeline/checklist for photos. Of course, with the wedding at 11am and the reception following immediately after, I have no idea when I’m supposed [...]

In preparation for Faith’s June wedding, and in a general attempt to improve my photographic skill, I decided to start borrowing books on photography from the library. With a title like How to Photograph Absolutely Everything, I figured Tom Ang’s book was a decent place to start.
For a new photographer, this book is extremely helpful. [...]

Ever have one of those days when you just have nothing to do? Or in my case, I have so many different things that I SHOULD be doing, that I can’t decide what to do, and end up doing nothing of value. I have so many projects in various states of completeness; too many, really. [...]

So, after checking out some camera bags in-person, I’ve learned a few things. First of all, I really need to have a better idea of what all I plan to store in a camera bag, and how I plan to use it. That will give me a better idea of which camera bags to look [...]

For Christmas, Matt got me a beautiful digital SLR (Canon Digital Rebel XT). It’s really nice, but now I need to get a case for it to keep it safe. Obviously it’s not going to fit in my old camera case – the old Powershot A610 just barely fit in there. I have the case [...]

Christmas has come and gone, and I figure what better way to celebrate the New Year than by setting some New Years goals. Matt’s post on the matter gave me a little motivation; I figure if I post my resolutions online for all to see, I’ll be a bit more motivated to actually maintain them. [...]

It’s about that time again – time for the annual CostCo Photo Contest. I entered last year with one of my pictures from Japan; it was fun, but I didn’t win anything. I totally plan on entering again this year, I’m just not sure which photo I should enter; I have a few photos I’m [...]

Recently I’ve been on a photography kick. I’ve always liked photography – I took classes in high school and college, and had an old, fully manual, SLR for my high school photography class. I lost interest for a while, but am just starting to re-discover that interest.
In my rediscovery, I stumbled upon many websites on [...]

So Sunday, Michigan decided winter wasn’t quite over yet, thankyouverymuch, and we got some more snow. It was the heavy wet stuff, too – crap for driving in, but so pretty! I took lots of fun pictures, playing around with my camera and the tripod a little. All the pictures are up at the gallery!
