2012: New Projects + New Tools = More Fun
As usual, I’ve been derelict in my blogging duties, but I’m determined to get more active here in 2012. My last post was almost seven months ago after my trip to the Pacific Northwest and San Francisco. Life has been plenty busy in the meantime, most of it focused on my real job as a [...]
San Francisco, TWiT Cottage, WWDC and Home!
I’m sitting in the San Francisco airport with about an hour to kill, so I figured it was the ideal time to write the last on-the-road blog post before arriving home late tonight. I was quite sad to leave the pacific northwest last Saturday. The entire experience bordered on sensory overload for me between the [...]
Out of the Forest, On to the Coast…
I was hoping to write blog entries each day, but so far I’ve only managed one. A lot of that is due to exhaustion at the end of a long day of hiking and shooting… just not having it in me to compose something despite having a million thoughts and observations I’ve filed away (and [...]
No, it’s not always rainy…
Just so I don’t completely leave everyone thinking all it does is rain here at Lake Quinault (a place that DOES get around 145″ of rain per yer, mind you). On the road in a while for two days at the coast… in the meantime, here are my philosophical ramblings and some shots from the [...]
Day 1 & 2: Shooting The Rain Forests
I’m finally getting a chance to write my first post on this trip. I’m totally in my element as I write this, too… sitting near the giant fireplace in the main room of Lake Quinault Lodge. This is your classic 1920′s-era pacific northwestern lodge with open beams decorated in native american designs, massive leather chairs [...]
Trip Prep: Packing the Gear
This coming Saturday morning I’m going to fly out at the obnoxious hour of 5:30 AM and, two layovers and three timezones later, arrive in Portland, Oregon. After grabbing a rental car and some supplies, I’ll do my best to tackle the jet lag in an airport hotel for the night before driving north to [...]
A startling place to see my work…
In 2004, I did a lot of photography for the Democratic Party of Virginia related to the election. One of the highlights for me was being the state party’s photographer at the Democratic National Convention in Boston. Among the 12,000 photos I took that week were a few of Vice Presidential candidate and Senator John [...]
Inauguration in Williamsburg
Just a quick note (before I collapse in bed) that I’ve posted my first batch of photos from my trip to cover Tim Kaine’s inauguration for the Democratic Party of Virginia. You can find them at my other blog, Documenting Democracy. Enjoy! – Aaron
Canon Announces EOS 5D and “fills the gap”
The rumors have been swirling for quite some time and they appear to have been mostly correct. Canon officially announced the EOS 5D today to fill the approximately $5500 gap between their 20D and the 1DS Mark II. The 20D is an incredibly capable camera that lacks only a few of the highest end features, [...]
