What’s Up? We suffered from wind against sun conditions again on Thursday morning but yours truly found the only stellar situation for miles and put the whole group on a Common Tern nest with two tiny chicks. Boy, did we have fun. Images and the whole story coming soon. I almost blew the streak […] What’s Up? Until Wednesday, we had been fighting west winds against sun every morning. But on July 20, we had the best of the best possible conditions–an east wind with clear skies. We did not get what I expected, but we enjoyed one of the best Nickerson mornings ever. Stay tuned for the whole story… […] What’s Up? I’ve been blessed with a wonderful group of five easy-going photographers, all willing and eager and wanting to learn. As you will learn below, our first afternoon proved to be quite exciting. Tuesday morning was excellent as we worked on Black Skimmer chicks of various ages and fledged Common Tern chicks. We arrived […] What’s Up? On Monday morning I was joined by private clients Andrea Kipin Acera and her friend Kathy Sheeter, an incredibly talented scratchboard fine artist Cathy Sheeter (wwww.cathysheeter.com). We had some nice early color followed by a few clouds on the eastern horizon that soon gave way to wind against sun conditions. Bummer. So we […] What’s Up? Sunday was another day of rest for me, getting ready for two private clients early on Monday morning. I meet the small Nickerson IPT group (only four) at 3pm that afternoon. Right now I am rooting for Phil Mickelson to win his second British Open gold tournament. var ftClick = “”; […] What’s Up? My 93 year old Mom looks pretty darned good and is doing as well as can be expected. There is nothing wrong with her except that she is old. It takes a heroic effort for her to get from her chair to the bathroom or the kitchen or her bed. But she remains […] What’s Up? I started this blog post on the way to Orlando Airport and finished it up on the flight to Islip. Best news: I got TSA-Pre! Friday morning was one of those rare super-great ones. All the rest are usually just plain great. I felt very good and was sending out love to […] What’s Up? Thursday was clean-up and packing day. I fly to Long Island’s Islip airport on Friday afternoon for five weeks for the Nickerson IPT and to visit my Mom, my younger sister Arna, and my younger daughter Alissa and her family. A Mets game and Jersey Boys are on the schedule along with the […] What’s Up? Right now all things post-op are on hold. As I have shown some real improvement in the past two-three weeks we are gonna give it another six weeks or so. My next visit with Dr. Thill in Orlando will be on August 25, right after I get back from Long Island. I […] What’s Up? I got lots done on Monday and enjoyed a 3/4-mile swim and an ice bath. It is Tuesday morning and heading up to my appointment with a top-notch Orlando urologist for a post-surgery follow-up–with the San Diego surgeon’s blessings. I prepared this post in about one and one half hours over a […] What’s Up? On Sunday I did lots of work getting ready for my Falklands South Georgia pre-trip and continued enjoying my personal Chopped Marathon via TIVO… I swam a slow mile–88 lengths of my Digital Basics lap pool. I was glad to learn on Sunday that Chas Mc Rae’s old Canon 600mm (finally) sold. […] What’s Up? I got some BAA work done and spent a lot of time on BPN on Saturday as my jet-lag continued to improve. On the recently concluded 2016 Puffins and Gannets IPT long-time friend and client Mike (Mikeegee) Goldhamer was back for a second go-round. And yesterday, I learned that George Golumbeski who was […] What’s Up? I did a bit better with the jet lag on Friday but still crashed on the couch at 7:30pm after a day that included two one hour naps and a great swim. I was up and working at 3:30am on Saturday. This blog post was prepared early that morning in about 2 1/2 […] What’s Up? Welcome to jet-lag city/IPT/travel exhaustion; on Thursday I took nice swim along with two 2 1/2 hour naps–one in the morning and another in the late afternoon. For the rest of the day I pretty much sat on the couch like a zombie watching OJ in America and UFC stuff on TIVO. I […] What’s Up? Jim and I got home from the airport at about 7pm. After a small, quick dinner I hit the sack and slept till 5am. Not bad. I fly up to Long Island next Friday for the Nickerson IPT and to visit my Mom who will be 94 in September. Cutdown date for the […] What’s Up? I started and finished this blog post at 35,000 feet en route from EDI to MCO. I am still tired. I can’t wait to get back in the pool. And I need to get back to doing my core exercises… var ftClick = “”; var ftExpTrack_1705289 = “”; var ftX = […] What’s Up? Headed home tomorrow. Tired. I worked on this blog post at the hotel in Edinburgh. var ftClick = “”; var ftExpTrack_1705289 = “”; var ftX = “”; var ftY = “”; var ftZ = “”; var ftOBA = 1; var ftContent = “”; var ftCustom = “”; var ft728x90_OOBclickTrack = […] What’s Up? Denise and I woke way early this morning–Monday, July 4, to see four of the participants off to EDI, the airport at Edinburgh, Scotland. Two more depart at 7am. Four of the participants are staying on with us to do another afternoon on the gannet boat today and a hoped-for Bass Rock landing […] What’s Up? Sunday, our last IPT morning, started as the last few have, with a west wind and too much sun despite lots of clouds. But the afternoon was superb with the sun catching up to the wind direction and lots of clouds. We enjoyed cloudy-bright and gorgeous light in equal helpings. Most of […] What’s Up? Saturday morning on the puffin boat landing was difficult with wind against sun conditions and much too much sun Though there was about 80% cloud cover the sun managed to be out about 80% of the time. Bummer. Saturday afternoon was downright spectacular. I figured that the sun would be coming around […] |
