Pre-Stuff I accidentally hit Publish on this post while working on it on Sunday afternoon. I did take it down almost immediateley but some folks got the notice … All can enjoy it now. 🙂 Stuff I did not sleep too well on Saturday night while enjoying some sharp pain as the surgical site […] Stuff The Streak Today makes two hundred sixty-eight days in a row with a new educational blog post! This one took several hours to prepare including the time spent on the all-new San Diego IPT card. With all of my upcoming free time (or not…), the plan right now is to try to break the […] Stuff I am using Tramadol for pain relief. Once the powerful stuff in me that was left over from the surgery began to wear off, I have had a bit of pain, especially when standing up or sitting down (as is expected from inguinal hernia surgery). I slept only about 3 or four hours on […] Stuff Thursday, April 19, 2918, 10:15am: I began working on this blog post on the way to Lake Wales Hospital. They called and asked if I could come an hour earlier. Heck, that meant an hour less of not eating 🙂 12:10pm: Chatted with Dr. Howard and the anesthesiologist. 12:25pm: Anesthesia started. Goodbye! […] Stuff I had some nasty pain from my hernia while we were photographing at St. Pete Beach on the last afternoon of the DeSoto IPT. I was able to arrange to see Dr. Howard at 10am on Wednesday. The IPT group enjoyed a great thank you dinner at Good Times Continental Restaurant on Tierra Verde […] Stuff On Monday afternoon we almost left the lagoon right after we got there as there was not much around. But we persisted and were rewarded with some great stuff on Marbled Godwit, Laughing Gull, and White Ibis. And Norm Steffen got a really neat image of a Black-bellied Plover tugging on a very long […] Stuff We were rained out on Sunday afternoon so we enjoyed a Photoshop session during which everyone picked their favorite Red Knot image from Sunday morning and optimized it. I was available for questions, guidance, and comments. The expected Northwest winds on Monday morning made photography very difficult but everyone persevered and came up with […] Stuff On Friday afternoon I met the IPT group and we headed out to Fort DeSoto for a free extra session. Those who crossed the small bay at low tide did well with a dancing Reddish Egret and a nice spoonbill. As my hernia was bothering me I opted to stay back and work with […] Stuff Anita and Loren went down to the lake early and stayed till 11:30am! As I type we are headed over to DeSoto with a stop at Ikea in Tampa to order some cabinets that I looked at in Phoenix. We hope to get out to do a bit of photography late on Saturday. […] Stuff On Friday Jim drove me across the state to Bradenton for the stem cell/PRP/Prolozone injections. Before we left the shoulder was feeling pretty darned good. We left just after Anita and Loren headed down to the lake to photograph. I had injections at four sites and the process was pretty much a piece of […] Stuff On Thursday I went down to the lake with client-friends/house guests Anita North and Loren Waxman, both of whom were with me on the 2017 Galapagos Photo-cruise. We did well with a family of two handsome adult cranes and two too-cute colts. The shoulder is still the shoulder and the inguinal hernia is still […] Stuff My long travel day on Tuesday came to an interesting end. With my flight from PHX to MCO delayed 3 hours I called Jim and told him that I would take a limo home. My flight got in at about 11:30am and it took a while for the luggage to come out. My driver […] Stuff As I mentioned yesterday, the morning of Monday, April 9, 2018 at the Riparian Preserve at Gilbert Water Ranch was a magical one; I wound up keeping 60 images. I share my very favorite with you here today. But there were lots of close seconds. I returned to the same spot on Tuesday morning […] Stuff The morning of Monday, April 9, 2018 at the Riparian Preserve at Gilbert Water Ranch was magical. I found a great spot with perfect reflections and zero wind, made lots of wonderful avocet and stilt images, and was able to cross a nemesis bird off my list: drake Cinnamon Teal. Got both flight and […] Stuff The Riparian Preserve at Gilbert Water Ranch continued to mystify. We found a perfect spot in the mud with still, open blue water in front of us. As we settled in there were stilts and avocets and dowitchers close by and right down sun angle. Before we made an image a Peregrine stooped on […] Stuff The Riparian Preserve at Gilbert Water Ranch is great but is a tough place to shoot. With the constantly changing water levels the spot that was fabulous on Monday is no darned good at all on Tuesday and the location that was excellent on Tuesday is a waste of time on Wednesday … None-the-less, […] Stuff I photographed at Gilbert in the morning. After a slow start things picked up nicely. The shoulder is getting a bit better each day. We got the MRI report and while most folks would opt for surgery at this point, I have decided after discussion with Dr. Oliver, physical therapist Amy Novotny, and friend […] Stuff Blog regular and IPT veteran Ramona Boone hired me for a morning session at Gilbert in hopes of brushing up her understanding of working in Manual mode, Though Thursday morning paled in comparison to Wednesday morning we had lots of good opportunities for me to teach exposure and for her to learn and practice […] Problem Solved; Thank You Joe Przybyla! Via e-mail from friend and BPN Member Joe Przybyla: Hi Artie, Maybe you’ve already done this, but you might try cleaning the contacts on the lens and camera. It might be that the camera and lens not communicating. Joe As soon as I read Joe’s e-mail I was confident […] Stuff I slept long but not very well on Tuesday morning but did not realize that the sunrise was at 6:11am. I got out of bed and hustled over to Gilbert. As I was setting up I missed a long, wings raised copulation by one minute. I was back at the room early blowing balloons. […] |
