I’ve been working on my website this year and I think I’ve made pretty good progress.  I launched the new site today and ran into a problem, I don’t have any pictures of myself.  You see I got my first camera at 7yrs old and that was pretty much the last time I was ever in a photo.  Sure I’ve got school portraits and formals but those don’t really count.  I guess that’s the problem with being behind the camera, you never really get any time in front of it.

Next time I go photowalking with a group I’m going to get someone (I’m looking at you two Gabe and Michael) to take my picture…

I spent last weekend in San Simeon working some architecture angles at Hearst Castle. Since I wasn’t allowed to use a tripod and therefore couldn’t use a T/S Lens to correct for distortion I focused mostly on wide angle shots and some low light interior stuff.  When I got home and started culling images I came across this one, at first glance I though it was “maybe” but then… D’OH!  I cut off the tree tops.  So this gets an instant “R” for reject.

But a shot or two later I find that I did take two steps back, zoom out to 24mm and give those trees their tops back. On a side note this one will likely still fall in the reject pile because the exposure on the sky is so uneven; that’s what I get for using a circular polarizer with the sun at camera left…

Now that New Year formalities are over I figure I should get down to business.  The site is going through a bit of redesign this week nothing too drastic but I figured I need to add a gallery, an “about” page and probably a way to get in contact with me (you know;in case someone wants to contact me).
