What’s Up? Patrick Sparkman kindly loaned me his 600 II, his two TCs, and his 5D Mark IV so that everything I would be working with had been micro-adjusted. I spent almost four hours on Monday morning standing in one spot. I created 1,115 images, all but about 20 of them of the same bird, […] Completely and Utterly Stupid: How’s That for Being Non-Judgmental? As many friends and regular readers know, I am pretty much apolitical and on the blog, I do my best to stay out of the political morass that exists today. Robin Sparkman passed the item below along and to me and it just would not feel […] What’s Up? I am working on this blog post early on Monday morning (Pacific time) so I am not sure yet what the day will bring. Aside from peace and happiness. Living The Work after attending The School for the Work last week has left me a changed man–at least this week 🙂 Among the […] What’s Up? Patrick Sparkman and I celebrated the 2nd day after St. Patrick’s Day by photographing all morning at La Jolla. When we moved down to the low cliffs I grabbed the 100mm f/2.8L IS Macro lens and did some flowers while Patrick worked some Least Sandpipers with his 600 II. As I made this […] What’s Up? Patrick Sparkman and I celebrated the day after St. Patrick’s Day by photographing all morning at La Jolla. The main pelican cliffs are presently closed. Again, we had a great time working with the nesting Brandt’s Cormorants for several hours and Patrick shared a reliable and gorgeous male Anna’s Hummingbird that he had […] What’s Up? Patrick Sparkman and I celebrated St. Patrick’s Day by photographing all morning at La Jolla. The main pelican cliffs are presently closed. We had a great time working with the nesting Brandt’s Cormorants for several hours. Before we left, we checked out our favorite double-crested spot and found a gorgeous adult in full […] What’s Up? The School for the Work was beyond anything I could have dreamed of. Byron Katie claims to be nothing special, but by me, she is both a healing saint and a compassionate angel. Lots more soon. Who would you be without your story? The Work is a way to identify and question […] See Ya on March 17th! The streak is dead. Please know and understand that as part of my commitment to immersing myself totally in the School for the Work, I have committed to being offline through midday on March 16. (I actually shut my laptop down and turned off my cell phone on the first […] What’s Up? I woke early to finish packing for my Tuesday morning flight to LAX to attend The School for the Work in Ojai, CA. My plan at present is to be back on the morning of 17 MAR but I may stop by San Diego on the way home for a short visit. We […] What’s Up? I spent a good five hours on Monday morning preparing this important blog post. I will be packing on Monday afternoon getting ready to my flight to LAX to attend The School for the Work in Ojai, CA. I will be back on the morning of 17 MAR. Be sure to see tomorrow’s […] What’s Up? I started working on this post on Sunday afternoon, just getting ready for a nap. The two folks on the Gatorland mini-IPT had a ball and learned a ton. This was Jake Levin’s fifth IPT. He came down from Montreal. He was joined by first-timer Krishna Prasad Kotti from Salt Lake City, Utah. […] Stuff Jet lag is improving. I took a 15 minute nap on the way up to Gatorland on Friday afternoon. With the light still too harsh at 3:30pm, I walked around for an hour without unpacking any gear to check things out. Then I grabbed my 100-400 II, the 1.4X III TC, a 5D Mark […] Stuff It is 5:30am on Friday morning. I was in bed by 8:30pm on Thursday night but jet lag struck early; I woke often to read for 15 minutes and was wide awake by 4:30am. I decided to drive up to Kissimmee this afternoon to scout for the Gatorland Mini IPT. If you would like […] Stuff It is Thursday morning and I am still feeling quite excellent. I spent two hours in a jet-lag induced zombie-like state on Wednesday afternoon but slept pretty well last night. Gatorland Mini IPT If you would like to join me for all or part of the Gatorland Mini IPT this coming weekend (all […] What’s Up? Home Safely After taking a single 1mg melatonin, I got into bed just after 12:30pm and fell asleep quickly on the very early morning of WED 1 MAR and slept right on schedule until 7:30am with only one pit stop. Amazing. On my flights I did several rounds of Emotional Freedom Technique tapping […] What’s Up? By the time that you read this, I should be home in my own bed. Likely in a jet-lag coma for a few days. The Travel Story — Almost Complete Left the lodge in Hokkaido, Japan at 8:45am on Tuesday 28 FEB which was 6:45pm on Monday 27 FEB in Florida. 45 […] What’s Up? I will be flying home on what will be a very, very, very long day today crossing back over the International Dateline. I fly from Hokkaido back to Tokyo’s Haneda, take the 2 hour bus ride to Narita, and then fly to MCO via LAX and Phoenix, getting home just before midnight the […] What’s Up? I woke at 1:02am Japan time on Monday, 27 FEB. We drove three hours to Rausu and did the 5:30 and 8:30am eagle boat trips. The first was expectedly excellent, the second was surprisingly excellent. It is 3:40pm and I am back at the lodge for a nap. Pack, onsen, and fly home […] What’s Up? I spent all day at the Akan Crane Center and made a few very good ones on a somewhat tough day. We are leaving the lodge at 1:50am on Monday morning to do two last eagle boat trips in Rausu, Hokkaido, Japan; the first one leaves the dock at 5:30am. The drive is […] What’s Up? On Saturday 25 FEB I had a great morning with the Whooper Swans and then relaxed for most of the rest of the day and thought about packing for the trip home 🙂 I will have good internet access every day. I get home late on 28 FEB. var ftClick = […] |
