Stuff My flights from LAX to MCO (via ATL) were both delayed. Jim and I were not home until just after midnight. I slept well and am finishing this blog post on Tuesday morning. After breakfast. I got lots of work done on the Current Workflow e-guide. I hope to have both that and the […] Stuff I finished this blog post at the gate at LAX for my flights home today. I learned a huge and valuable life lesson during my four days in Carpinteria, CA, and for that I am thankful. My plan is to get a lot of work done on the Current Workflow e-guide … I hope […] Stuff On Saturday I saw the Jersey Boys road show in LA with a friend. As things turned out, each of the four stars was fantastic. Rather than creating a replication of the Broadway version (that I had seen three times), the four main actors put a personal twist to their interpretations of Frankie Valli, […] Stuff I enjoyed a relaxing Friday in Southern California. The Streak Just in case you have not been counting, today makes 4 days in a row with a new educational blog post 2017 UK Puffins and Gannets IPT. Monday July 3 through Wednesday July 12, 2017: $5999 + $1499: Limit 10 photographers […] Stuff I flew from Spokane to LAX on Thursday for a short California R & R visit. The Streak Just in case you have not been counting, today’s blog post makes 3 days in a row with a new educational blog post 2017 UK Puffins and Gannets IPT. Monday July 3 through […] Stuff Wednesday, June 14 was getaway day, the last day of the 2017 Palouse IPT. As pretty much the entire trip had been, it was a huge success. We left the hotel in the morning well later than we had been at 4:45am. We mopped up on several spots that we had missed. The clouds […] What’s Up We are finishing up the 2017 Palouse IPT today. We have been truly blessed with great weather and I have been blessed with a wonderful group of six Happy Campers. Huge thanks to Fern Trujillo who drove Fort DeSoto IPT veteran Ed Blanton and me around for the entire IPT. The group will […] Stuff We have continued to be blessed with almost perfect sky conditions for each photo session. On our single clear blue sky morning we worked indoors in one of my very favorite barns and worked the shaded side of some old trucks and farm vehicles. The Streak Just in case you have not been […] Stuff We had a great afternoon on Saturday photographing wind turbines and farm fields, the latter with spectacular blue-black sky backgrounds. We ended the day up on Steptoe Butte where we were greeted by a nice rainbow. And things were looking really good for sunset color right up until the last moment. How did that […] Stuff We canceled our after-lunch Photoshop sessionon Friday because sky conditions were perfect. We headed out at 2:30 and made hay with the clouds and the soft light with occasional sunshine. We visited several of the iconic locations and discovered some neat new vantage points and locations as well. After waking again at 2:00am and […] Stuff My alarm was set for 2am on Friday morning. We left the hotel at 3:00am sharp. Conditions atop Steptoe Butte were quite different than anything I had ever experienced before. There were some clouds in the east, lots of big clouds on the ground, and the next thing that we knew, we were in […] Stuff My flights were fine. I met up with three of my six clients and we car-pooled down to Pullman. Everyone enjoyed the introductory program. We slept in (Palouse style) and did not leave the hotel until 6:00am! What a luxury. We did old cars and trucks followed by one of my favorite red barns […] What’s Up After a busy day of packing and a thunderstorm-abbreviated swim, Jim dropped me at the Marriott Courtyard airport on Tuesday afternoon so that I’d be in position to get to MCO for my early morning flights to Spokane for the Palouse IPT. I was pleased to learn yesterday that the sales of […] Stuff Monday was spent working on this blog post and starting to pack for my Palouse trip. I fly on WED. I will be visiting California for a bit after the Palouse IPT is over. I hope to get in a swim before lunch on Monday and then head into town that afternoon for some […] Stuff Gatorland was great all weekend. The place is infested by just-fledged and almost-fledged young Tricolored Herons along with lots of Snowy and Cattle Egrets at these same stages. And there are still some small and even tiny chicks around. Stokes and Pat and I had a ton of fun on Sunday morning. Via e-mail […] Stuff Both morning and afternoon were wonderful on Saturday at Gatorland. There are large Snowy Egret, Cattle Egret, and Tricolored Heron chicks everywhere … Pat and Stokes Fishburne made it up just in time to take me to dinner at El Tapatio. They loved it as much as I always do. It will be nice […] What’s Up? I had way, way too much fun on Saturday afternoon photographing by myself at Gatorland in an absolute downpour for more than an hour. I used my Wimberley V-2 head with the umbrella clamp rig and a big golf umbrella. More on that to follow. After the rain things got even better. Pat […] What’s Up Worked on several blog posts today and had a great School for the Work Aftercare session with my friend Illa. Took a nice late afternoon swim just before the rains hit. Learned that the sale of Brooke Miller’s 70-200mm f/2.8L IS lens is pending on Day 2. It was such a great price […] What’s Up I got a ton of work done on Wednesday on the BAA Current Digital Workflow e-Guide (Digital Basics II); the end is in sight. I have a bit more on Photoshop to add and then just the simplified NeatImage stuff. And I took my first swim since my cold. And I had probably […] Stuff I am feeling pretty good with just a trace of congestion left from last week’s cold. I slept great on Monday night and got a lot done on Tuesday, just not sure what. I hope to get back in the pool tomorrow. Coming in the next blog post: Why I Rarely Use Back […] |
