If you've ever explored this site very much, or been a reader of the blog for long, you are likely aware that I've associated both with my Flickr account. It was probably the only way to get things started, but this hasn't really been ideal for a number of reasons...

Local color

A jumble of prickly pear cactus, against a retaining wall in Mesilla, New Mexico...

Lighting and legalities

Argos — Sat, 10 May 2008 12:26:03 +0000

I'm learning all sorts of interesting things about the legalities of photography lately. Basically, I've learned that the law regarding photography (not so much regarding what you photograph, but rather what you can sell and how) is a bit more complex than I'd first thought...

Firepower

If you’ve been reading my posts for very long, you might recall that I’ve been tinkering around with a setup for doing macro and closeup photography at home. I started out by buying a 20″ light tent, but found that the lights it came with were pretty anemic. So I augmented the tent with another [...]

Wheels and trusses — old and new

Argos — Tue, 06 May 2008 12:30:45 +0000

Since my last post about New Orleans had a less than flattering image, I thought that in the spirit of fairness, I should follow up with a picture of a nicer scene. Here's one that captures old and new -- both wheels (steam vs. car) and trusses (paddle wheel structure vs. bridge structure)

Paris by moonlight

It's been a while since I blogged about Paris, so here's a nighttime picture of the city in the moonlight...

Concertina and Mardi Gras beads

Argos — Fri, 02 May 2008 12:14:32 +0000

OK, so I've talked about my trip to New Orleans, and posted images from the flight home, it's about time I started posting some images from my time "on the ground." I thought I'd start with a picture that summarizes my impression of the place...

Pinhead, redux

Argos — Wed, 30 Apr 2008 12:45:28 +0000

OK, I finally figured out my pinhole photography issues (as I suspected, the hole needed to be smaller). Here's my contribution to Worldwide Pinhole Photography Day:

Above the clouds

Today's picture is another one I took on my recent flight home from New Orleans...

Urban reflections

Argos — Sat, 26 Apr 2008 12:28:38 +0000

The pup and I wandered downtown this past weekend to take in a museum. But it was a beautiful, sunny day, with not many people around (probably all out on their mountain bikes). So it was a great opportunity for a little work with my '510...
