I meet the group tomorrow at 10:00am for an orientation meeting and introductory slide program. Beginning on Tuesday I will be leading a BIRDS AS ART Instructional Photo-Cruise in the Galapagos archipelago. […] What’s Up?

For mail order or other help please contact Jim […] What’s Up? I leave for the Galapagos Photo Cruise early on Sunday morning. I have spent the last few days answering many dozens of e-mails and am still far behind. Basically, I will not have internet access from this coming Monday until late in the day on July 29 so please refrain from e-mailing me […] What’s Up?

Basically, I will not have internet access from this coming Monday until late in the day on July 29 so please refrain from e-mailing me […] What’s Up? I am just a bit jet-lagged. I have been getting to bed early and getting up very early, between 3 and 4am, but have been getting a ton of work done. I got home late Monday and fly to Guayquil, Ecuador for my Galapagos Photo-Cruise leaving early on Sunday morning. Yikes! What a […] Why? Why travel many hours by car or plane to visit Machias Seal Island, Maine to photograph puffins and sit in a cramped blind for one whole hour with no possibility of flight photography when you can hop on a red-eye flight to Edinburgh, Scotland, live and breathe puffins up close and personal for five […] Stuff We left the cottages at 4:45am sharp as planned and arrived at Edinburgh Airport just before 7:00am, also as planned. After a short delay while returning our rental vans and a long delay at security, denise and I got to the gate for our 9:25 flight to Newark at about 8:55 only to find […] Gotta Run! The luggage truck will be here at 4:30am UK time. It is just after 8pm and I gotta get to bed soon. The alarm is set for 3:45am. Then to Edinburgh Airport, then Newark, then Orlando to be picked up by Jim after dinner east coast time… Good night! Part […] Be Careful What You Wish For; You Just Might Get It Though most Brits, especially those on holiday, gloried in the blue skies and unusually warms temperatures along the northeast coast of the UK, a bit more overcast would have been welcomed by this bird photographer. Well, we got our wish on Saturday; there were […] What’s Up? Peter Kes flew in from Switzerland and joined us on Thursday evening. With many folks clamoring for Photoshop and image review, both denise and I skipped the full day puffin boat to meet their needs. We conducted several great sessions broken up by a fish and chips lunch at a local restaurant proclaimed […] What’s Up? On Wednesday afternoon a huge thunderstorm hit the puffin island 15 minutes earlier than predicted at 3:45pm. Sideways hail and rain with 40+ mph winds left most folks drenched; the rule in Northumberland is to always have your rain gear along…. Lightning flashed and thunder boomed; our boatman skillfully got us back to […] Stuff I have slept great the first two nights with not a trace of jet lag. I always do great flying to places; not so good flying back home regardless of the direction. Tired as we were after the first day of puffins, most of us made it out after dinner to photograph a nearby […] Stuff Our red eye flight to EDI was a piece of cake. I actually slept pretty well. Denise did not. We met the group at about 10:15 am, met met our transfer truck right on time, picked up our rental vehicles, stopped for a great lunch, and arrived at our lodgings just after 3:00pm. Then […] Stuff On Saturday I enjoyed an easy one mile swim and did most of my core exercises. Sunday was get-away and get to Newark Day. I actually slept until the alarm went off at 6am on Sunday morning. Most days at home I never set an alarm yet am almost always up and at ’em […] Stuff Again I spent a good part of Saturday working on old image files…. And I started packing my checked bags. This blog post, which took me about 1 1/4 hours to assemble, is the 170th in a row. It was published just before 5:30am on Saturday, June 28, 2015. I fly to Newark today […] Stuff Again I spent a good part of Friday re-arranging and doing third edits on trip image folders with lots more of the same in store for Saturday. I made a lot of progress–deleting many thousands of images kept on the first round of editing (picking keepers) but still have a ton of work left. […] Stuff Both denise and I are getting more and more excited about our up-coming trip. Again I spent a good part of the day re-arranging and doing third edits on trip image folders with lots more of the same in store for today. I enjoyed both a swim and an ice bath. This blog post, […] Stuff Both denise and I are a lot more excited than we should be about getting back into the puffins. I spent the morning getting my Palouse image folder down from the original 3,000+ keepers down to 535. I spent the rest of the day answering e-mails and working on a few new images for […] |
