What’s Up? I am fasting all day on Monday and doing the prep for my routine colonoscopy tomorrow morning. Yuck. I will spend a good deal of time today catching up on e-mails and planning my big South America trip. And an easy 3/4 mile swim of course. Thanks! Thanks to the many who […] Request for Help… On Friday, September 9, I will be doing a FaceBook Live interview with Peggy Farren of Understand Photography in conjunction with my visit to Naples, FL to do a program for DPI-SIG on Saturday morning. Details on that will follow on the blog soon. In the meantime, we need your help. […] Stuff I got lots of BAA bookkeeping work done on Saturday. I enjoyed a 66-length (3/4mile) swim in my very own pool. It is great to swim in a pool with a centerline; that way I do not get lost! I relaxed a bunch watching Olympics and some UFC stuff on tape. On Sunday morning […] Selling Your Used Gear Through BIRDS AS ART Selling your used (or like-new) photo gear through the BAA Blog or via a BAA Online Bulletin is a great idea. We charge only a 5% commission. One of the more popular used gear for sale sites charges a minimum of 20%. Plus assorted fees! Yikes. The […] What’s Up? Many thanks to multiple IPT veteran Elizabeth MacSwan for joining me at JBWR on Thursday morning. With overcast skies, the day was totally different from Wednesday but we had pretty much endless great opportunities with a variety of shorebird species. Most were tame juveniles that walked right up to us as we sat […] What’s Up? My flight from Islip got into Orlando about 30 minutes early just after 9am on Friday. Jim picked me up after I got my two check bags. We stopped at Publix and the fish store and arrived in ILE just before noon. It feels good to be home and back in my own […] What’s Up? The East Pond rocked on Wednesday morning. On the way to JBAY I was going back and forth on which camera to use with the 600 II and most likely with the 2X III TC. 5DS R. 1DX II. 1DX II. 5DS R? I finally realized that for feeding shorebirds with the rig […] What’s Up? Arrived at Nickerson at 5am. On the way home by 8. Nap. Swim. Chiropractor. Played catch with grandson Idris–he has improved so much in about a month that it is hard to believe. Watched some Olympics. Hit the sack early. JBWR on Wednesday morning… You already know how that went… I fly […] A few of today’s 75 keepers, tagged in Photo Mechanic… Urgent Shorebird Photography Report from McDonald’s on Cross Bay Boulevard I just enjoyed probably the best morning of shorebird photography ever at the Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge in Queens, NY (and that includes the last 33 years). In all there were more […] What’s Up? I wrote this post on Monday afternoon after getting my most recent trigger finger (left ring ) injected. I screamed a bit, moaned and groaned a lot, and concentrated on my breath to lessen the impact of the pain. When Dr. Poupolo took the needle out, I said, “That wasn’t too bad.” And […] What’s Up? Another acupuncture session and a visit to the hand surgeon this afternoon to get a trigger finger injected were on the Monday schedule. Those injections into the palm of the hand just below the base of the fingers are the most painful things I have ever experienced. It is, however, always great to […] What’s Up? I swam my slow 3/4 mile on Sunday morning at 11am and then headed into the city to see Jersey Boys on Broadway for the third time in 8 months and the second time in 8 days. I will share the whole story tomorrow… var ftClick = “”; var ftExpTrack_1705289 = […] What’s Up? First off, huge thanks to Rick Buckheit. I do not believe that I had ever met Rick prior to the moment he approached me before the first B&H Event Space program and handed me a a quality black “Brooklyn in My Bones” t-shirt. As a gift. Just because. I will wear it with […] What’s Up? No shock: even though I was glad to get the prep-work and the Event Space programs completed successfully, I still had tons to do on Friday. Putting the two programs together in Keynote–thanks again to Bug Bob Allen for his help there–took well more than 20 hours… The price of exposure. As things […] What’s Up? Both of my B&H Event Space programs went very well. That they recently added a huge LCD screen at the front (that match the several on the side of the room) led to vastly increased enjoyment of the images. Huge thanks to B&H’s David Brommer for having me. The were a very few […] What’s Up? I have been doing my easy 3/4 mile swim most every day. On Wednesday I put the finishing touches on my two B&H Event Space programs. My understanding is that they will both be available online at some point. I hope to see many of you there. If you are unable to register […] What’s Up? Up to this point on my Long Island visit, I have been (and the Nickerson IPT group was) blessed by relatively cool weather. Though Tuesday morning looked pretty good, I opted to stay home and finish up my two B&H Event Space programs. Hazy, hot, and humid, however, are reportedly on the way. […] What’s Up? On Sunday morning I took grandson Idris to Robert Moses State Park to enjoy the waves. In my early teens I practically lived in the ocean all summer long; the bigger the waves, the better for body surfing. The beach at Moses was very steep but with the north breeze knocking the waves […] What’s Up? Though Dom Scaglione did not play Frankie Valli on Saturday afternoon past, Younger daughter Alissa, her husband Ajiniyaz, and yours truly enjoyed Jersey Boys tremendously. Quinn vanAntwerp killed as Bob Gaudio as he has done more than 2500 times. He is leaving the show in six weeks so I am thrilled that I […] What’s Up? I finished this blog post on Saturday morning. I leave with daughter Alissa and husband Ajiniyaz for lunch in the city followed by Jersey Boys on Broadway (the second time for me). I am excited. On Friday I got lots more work done my B&H Event Space programs… See the details below. […] |
