5 years is too long to go between posts. Much has happened in that time. I took a job developing technology for the automotive industry in Burlington, Vermont. And I hate to say that I have been living in this beautiful state taking photos on my iPhone. What a photography failure I have been of…
Mac Mini as Home Entertainment Hub
I know this isn’t all about photography, but it was too cool not to write about. So….what am I talking about? When you make a computer the brains of your home entertainment center all kinds of new possibilities and sharing across the house happen.

Costa Rican Landscapes – December 2009
Since my first trip to Costa Rica, in 1995, I have always been struck by the magic of the country as soon as my feet come off the airplane. Although it is a very different place than it was in the 90s, it is still one of my favorite spots on earth. Today, most of…
Off Topic: Crazy nut I met on my trip to South Georgia
When traveling with Lindblad you expect to be around the elite, the cultured, the wealthy, the social royalty and that was definitely the majority of my fellow passengers. And then there was Joel. Joel Levinson, or Happy Joel, to be more specific. Joel wins contests for a living. I’ll repeat….Joel wins contests for a living….
Camera Gear – what worked, what didn’t?
The hardest part of getting ready for this trip was selecting the camera gear. I could not find enough online about what to bring and what to leave at home, so let me give you a hand. If you click on the Gear-Up page, you can see what I had to choose from. Rikki and…
Favorite images…so far

Last day at Sea
We should be back in Ushuaia around 7:00 AM tomorrow morning. Today has been spent socializing and getting ready to say good bye. This will be our final night on the NG Endeavour and it is going to be tough to leave – this ship feels like home. I don’t think the land will move…

Sea Day – do we need seat belts on this ride?
We are on our roughest sea day yet. Report from the Bridge is 7-8 meter seas. It is a little strange because the sun is fully out, so it is actually a really nice day. The only reason to put a coat on is to prevent getting soaked by the enormous splashes. Splashes are shooting…
Decided to participate in a photo contest while here
I rarely participate in photo contests anymore because I have had little time to break the camera out. This trip has given me the opportunity to dust the rust on my photography off and then some. Before leaving, the theme for S2Ki’s October photo contest was announced: Our Feathered Friends. I had to enter. I…
