What’s Up?
I am feeling a bit better each day. I still have a very long to-do list….
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% […]
What’s Up
On Sunday I did more work on the San Diego Exhibit image caption labels and watched a ton of NFL football. By blowing yet another large fourth quarter lead the NY Giants put an end to their season. Bummer.
Stay tuned as tomorrow I will be listing several new Used Photo Gear […]
What’s Up?
I did lots of work on the San Diego exhibit labels and answered lots of e-mails on the Cheeseman’s 2016 South Georgia/Falklands Expedition; we have already signed up three or four folks for the BIRDS AS ART group. Do consider joining us for the trip of a lifetime, my last ship-based trip to […]
What’s Up?
I enjoyed a long day of hard work and enjoyed sleeping in my own bed. I still have my cold. Yesterday I did something that I should have done weeks ago: on the advice of Dr. Cliff Oliver I purchased a steam inhaler and inhalant pads (at CVS) and enjoyed three 15 minutes […]
What’s Up?
Actually me, at 3am on Thursday. My 6:05am flight to Houston was a piece of cake. My flight to Orlando was delayed for an hour (maintenance) and then for another hour when Southwest realized that our new aircraft had too much fuel loaded. I was on the ground at MCO at about 3:30 […]
What’s Up?
When we first approached our chosen morning spot we were dismayed to see dozens of other cars and lots of photographers where there had been nobody but us for three straight mornings. Other tour leaders and small photo groups often follow me around or see us when they are scouting. As we got […]
What’s Up?
Again co-leader Denise Ippolito and I had our group positioned perfectly for sunrise, and again, the birds put on a great show. There was another photo group two hundred yards to our right but our chances were far better than theirs for a hundred reasons. Everyone else was completely in the wrong place. […]
What’s Up?
Photographic opportunities continue to improve each day at Bosque del Apache NWR. Monday was amazing as we enjoyed several mega-blast-offs. After a nice sunrise with a fly out blast-off we did well at the crane pools and then headed to the farm fields. The birds were in all over a huge field and […]
What’s Up
Co-leader Denise Ippolito and I had the group in perfect position for a big white geese fly-in the extremely overcast conditions. After that there was tons of great teaching and not a lot of great photography except for a huge group of blackbirds that entertained us for 15 minutes. When I went back […]
What’s Up?
I began wrapping this one up at 6:33pm on Saturday November 28, 2015. Denise Ippolito and I met our second IPT group and cancelled the meet and greet so that we could head right down to the refuge as things looked promising. We were rewarded with farm field blast off after farm field […]
What’s Up?
Other than a few minutes of bumps due to some rough air going in and out of Denver last week, my flights to ABQ on the 20th were long, exhausting, and thankfully un-eventful. I began working on this blog post during my layover in Denver and finished it in Socorro a week later, […]

What’s Up?
I wrote most of this blog post on Thanksgiving Day after a really short but really wonderful morning photo session. With the heavy cloud cover and the strong east wind, I knew that there was only one spot on the refuge that might offer some quality chances. I had been there the day […]
Enjoy the holiday and try not to eat too, too much.
Happy Bird-Day 2015
All here at BAA would like to wish you and yours a happy Thanksgiving. My older daughter Jennifer is on Long Island with her whole family visiting her sister–my younger daughter Alissa and her family–along with my […]
What’s Up?
I am feeling lot better as I type early on the morning of Wednesday November 25, 2015. I am much less congested but the dry hacking coughing spells that I had off and on yesterday were not fun. My plan is to get a chest X-ray done today.
I will be heading […]
What’s Up?
Bosque was terrible before we arrived but things are looking much better right now. Again I enjoyed a horrific night’s sleep and can finally say that I feel pretty lousy with a stuffed nose, chest congestion, and a dry hacking cough, all of which kept me up most of the night. I gave […]
What’s Up?
I wrote most of this blog post on the ship and am finishing it up early on the morning of Sunday November 22, 2015. I have been working since 2:30am, after sleeping fitfully for five hours. It was a rough night as, with a mega-stuffed nose, I peeked at the clock every 20 […]
What’s Up?
The cold has gotten worse with a chafed runny nose, lots of loud sneezing, and some nasty congestion but I am still glad that I do not have a sore throat (knock on wood).
I prepared this blog post on the late afternoon of Saturday, NOV 21, 2015. We meet the first […]
Stuff
I was in bed by 8:30pm on Thursday night and not feeling too bad. I fell asleep in minutes as I usually do. I woke at 2:20am unable to breath through my nose at all; in just a few hours my congestion had become a full fledged head cold. I am grateful that I […]
The Credit Line Signature…
Several folk have recently asked about my new signature. The short answer is that I have long been remiss about protecting my images. The rest is a long story that I will pass on for now. Thanks to denise ippolito for helping me create my signature brush. I am not sure […]
