Miracle Day in the Palouse Today was indeed a miracle day in the Palouse. We did not go photographing. We did not make a single image. We did no scouting. As I said, it was a miracle day. We have a meet and greet with the second Palouse IPT folks at 7:30 pm Thursday […] What’s Up? One Palouse IPT down. One day off almost done. One more of each to go. This morning’s outing to denise’s tree wound up being a bit of a painful adventure for me. Read on. We did a bit more scouting in the afternoon and after two pretty boring hours of driving we hit […] What’s Up? One Palouse IPT down. One to go. Denise and I are planning to get up at 3:30am to photograph her very own special tree; story to follow at some point. This blog post, the 146th in a row, took about 45 minutes to prepare. It was published just after midnight on Tuesday. […] What’s Up? We went to the crooked barn, my very favorite in the entire Palouse Region. And we were finally blessed by a cloudy day. A great time was had by all as we covered the basics of creating originals for stitched panos and HDR captures. On Monday afternoon we are heading for Palouse Falls […] What’s up? The IPT group thrilled on a gorgeous red sunrise from Steptoe Butte. Long lenses were best, the longer the better. I shared my 200-400 with the internal TC in place and an external TC added with several participants, and opened Bill Keay’s eyes to the possibilities as he has owns the lens. Then […] Stuff Our prayer for clouds was answered for a few hours at least, and we all got to sleep an extra hour on Saturday morning. And on the way back to the hotel, we found some killer canola fields, yellow gold. This blog post, the 143rd in a row, took about 1 1/2 hours […] What’s Up? Up at 3am for the third day in a row for both Denise and me. Photography with the 1st Palouse IPT group till 9:30. Photoshop, lunch, nap, plan for the next two days of the IPT, afternoon session, work, and then sleep. This blog post, the 142nd in a row, took about […] What’s Up? On Thursday we met BAA friend Dan Logen for a morning of scouting and photography. We met on Steptoe Butte and photographed for just a bit. After that Dan led the way…. This blog post, the 141st in a row, took about 1 hour to prepare. It was published just after midnight […] What’s Up? I met denise at MSP. We flew to GEG, rented a car on the way to the IPT hotel, and scouted on our way down. We will be leaving at 4am tomorrow to photograph sunrise. This blog post, the 140th in a row, took about 2 hours to prepare. It was published at […] What’s Up? I got most of my packing done on Tuesday and headed into town for a check-up with Dr. Holmes. All good. Set the alarm for 3:00am this morning but woke at 2:50. As I type at 4:31am we are in the car. Jim is dropping me at MCO. I fly from Orlando to […] What’s Up? Monday was a relaxing day. In the afternoon I was surprised by a visit by Jennifer and her family, husband Erik and their two kids, Sam and Maya. All but Jennifer went for a swim while in a downpour. I made some crispy cauliflower pizza crust with the new food processor that my […] What’s Up? Worked hard on planning a new trip or two to be announced here soon. Answered lots of e-mails and wrote this important blog post. My day began watching Steph Curry, the Golden State Warriors baby-faced assassin singlehandedly dismantle the hapless Houston Rockets in the NBA playoffs. Next on Tivo was the Chicago Blackhawks […] What’s Up? Today was a lazy day. I spent a few hours getting together some new used photo gear listings. Coming soon: my friend Todd Gustafson is selling a complete Nikon kit (600, 300 2.8, 200-400 II, D4, 4 TCEs, and lots more) as he is switching to Canon. If you are on the dark […] Stuff Got more done on my 2014 tax return on Friday; to me, doing my business taxes is like doing a jigsaw puzzle…. Put in one piece at a time and if you keep at it you will finish. Due to a snafu my ice bath was a balmy 65 degrees when I exited. This […] Stuff Got lots done on my 2014 tax return on Thursday. Not sure what else I got accomplished but I was busy. Shivered after my 59 degree on the way out ice bath and then another evening of NHL and NBA playoffs. This blog post, the 134th in a row, took about 1 1/2 hours […] Stuff I made some serious progress on my 2014 taxes today. After my long unplanned nap on Tuesday night I wound up staying up until after 2:00am watching the Chicago Blackhawks amazing triple overtime victory over the Anaheim Ducks. I e-mail older daughter Jennifer at 2:15am just before heading to bed. I was stunned to […] Stuff I began working on a new eBook that I am doing with Denise Ippolito, finished the day off with a cold ice bath–59 degree water when I got out after my 44 minutes, and promptly fell asleep on the couch for three hours. Bosque #1 is filling nicely. We have tons of room […] Stuff I left Charleston at 5:00am and after catnapping briefly south of Orlando and running several errands in Lake Wales was in the house at 2:50pm. Jim kindly had lunch waiting for me. I spent the rest of the day answering e-mails and doing some writing. This blog post, the 131st in a row, […] Stuff Denise and Pam and I spent the morning at the famed and beautiful Magnolia Gardens. After three hours sleep on Saturday evening I could not–inexplicably–get to sleep for a nap on Sunday afternoon. We are heading out at 7:15pm to photograph the beautiful Arthur Ravenal Jr. Bridge at sunset. As things are a […] Stuff I left my home at 3:15pm on Friday afternoon and made it to just below Savannah, GA by 9:30 where I grabbed a cheap motel room and hit the sack. I awoke ten minutes before the alarm at 5:20 and was headed to Charleston by 5:45. I met Denise Ippolto and her friend Pam […] |
