Amazing new camera!

Photo of Fall leaves taken with an iPhone 4s

This is the first shot I took with my incredible new camera! It has a super sharp, fast lens and can hold several thousand photos without needing a memory card. The battery lasts all day. It can do the usual tricks – long exposures, multiple exposures, HDR, exposure blending, panoramas and bracketing. It also has [...]

Independence Day in Seattle – 2011

Independence Day fireworks in Seattle, WA USA

I know this post is a little past due, but worthwhile I’m sure.  I had an amazing 4th this year, starting with a visit to the Sunset Hills Memorial Park to see the Dignity Memorial Vietnam Wall and ending with a grand party and fireworks in Seattle. My family and I went to the wall [...]

Fremont Solstice Parade 2011

Sister of Perpetual Indulgence at the 2011 Fremont Solstice Parade

U2 360 in Seattle

Well, the boys from Ireland are still in fine form.  The show in Seattle last night was stupendous, an unforgettable experience on one of the most beautiful days Seattle has ever seen.  It was also great to see Lenny Kravitz, one of my very favorite artists.  I took a small camera but I mostly recorded [...]

Paris – Notre Dame Cathedral

Paris_040411_2608_2

We had a bit of gothic overload after visiting Notre Dame twice, once to go inside and once to climb to the top of the towers.  The first stone was laid in 1163 and the cathedral was completed 200 years later.  It is famous for its numerous scary gargoyles and is the setting for Victor [...]
