A Fight to Remember!

...We walked about 40 yards up the road passing cars just left in the roadway, cars off to the side of the road, it looked like something out of a disaster film. And then we came upon a crowd of about 100- 150 people all standing on one side of the road, while just across the roadway these two moose were going head to head in a display of dominance...There must have 7 rows of people ahead of me and there was no way to fight my way through the crowd to take pictures.  I kept moving left and right looking for any opening to slip into but none were to be found.

Not Ready For Prime Time

 I wrote my article how the camera was good but the whole digital workflow was a pain in the ass. And if you wanted to take pictures in any volume then you would need days just to process your images. I suggested to keep shooting film and scan your slides until the software and the workflow would make it efficient enough to begin to shoot with a digital camera. It was the only column in my 10 years of writing for the magazine that did not get published!  Read more of the story and see more of the images in this blog entry.

Happy Birthday Ansel!

Ansel was a big influence on my life. I remember seeing my first Ansel Adams image, Mt. Williamson, Sierra Nevada, from Manzanar, California while I was a senior in high school, and I knew at that moment I wanted to leave the east coast and head west where there were vistas like that. Six years later, after receiving my degree in Fine Art Photography from the George Washington University (where we studied Ansel’s Zone System), I headed west ...
