Fuji Finepix X100: Wow!
So Photokina has come and gone and no Canon 5D Mark III was announced… SO WHAT!? Fuji broke it wide open with this gem! I cannot wait to get my hands on the Finepix X100. This thing is like my old Leica M3 but digital with an APS-C size sensor and a 23mm f2 prime [...]
Fall Harvest
Break out the sweaters, it’s that time of year again. Summer’s in the rear-view and winter’s around the bend. But before the changing of the seasonal guard comes nature’s milder side. Like Spring, Fall is a transitional season of fleeting beauty. Like most of New England, the trees are preparing for a long, cold winter. [...]

Boston’s Newest Photographer
It’s been a long, eventful summer. After the Celtics laid an egg in Game 7, I hopped in my ’94 Nissan pickup and headed north. 1800 miles later and after a brief pit stop on Martha’s Vineyard, I pulled into the dirt driveway of our family’s house on Cross Point Rd. The next 5 weeks [...]

July 4th Beer Can Chicken
This Fourth of July we made a Beer Can Chicken. I learned this method on the Food Network a few years ago, and it is a fantastic way to cook mouth watering chicken. It is really simple. Just rub chicken with favorite spice rub, plug it up the butt with a 1/2 full beer, and [...]

Reason to Doubt the Boston Celtics
It was 2008 and on paper the Celtics were doomed. It’s 2010 and most had the Celts goin’ fishin already. In 2008 the Celtics finished the regular season on top of the league with home-court throughout the playoffs. The team consisted of a younger, hungrier Big 3, a very young unreliable Rondo, and some great [...]

Photography for Free: No Pay Only Shots for Portfolio
“Do you want to work this awesome gig?” “Hell yes.” “Great, you’ll be on the list with a press pass.” “Cool, whats the pay?” “No pay, just shots for your portfolio…” Too often this dialogue transpires for the emerging photographer. The responses vary but all photographers feel the same way: USED. Clients in this situation [...]

City Park New Orleans
Now that summer is finally upon us it’s time to get outside. There are two major parks in New Orleans: Audubon and City Park. For comparison’s sake, City Park is much better. Audubon is a beautiful park in uptown New Orleans with many attractions including a golf course, zoo, track, and riverfront chill spot but [...]

NOFX @ The Aggie Theater in Fort Collins, CO
We should have known what we were in for. Choosing to play the Aggie instead of Denver was warning enough that this show would be special (rowdy). After milling outside through two opening acts (sorry, Tony Sly, go get the rest of NUFAN and we might watch your set), we smashed through the pack to [...]
Jazz Fest 2010
Another year of Jazz Fest is upon us. As usual, ticket prices have risen to $60 per day (thanks Quint Davis) and beers are now $5 a pop. Expensive as Jazz Fest is, it’s still worth every penny to see Simon & Garfunkle, My Morning Jacket, and eat Crawfish Monica with a side of Crawfish [...]

CoreNet Global Summit 2010
Working for Workplace TV at the CoreNet Global Summit, New Orleans 2010. The two-day conference held at the New Orleans Morial Convention Center focused on “workplace strategies”. During the sessions we filmed a series of interviews, discussions, and other activities. The conference was sponsered by Microsoft, so we also got a chance to play with [...]
Tipping Etiquette
My friend is always chewing me out about my tipping etiquette. Today we grabbed an iced coffee at a local place and I paid with my credit card. As we leave he asks, “How much did you tip?” Well, I didn’t tip, and didn’t think twice about it. He said he would have tipped $2. [...]

iPhone Photography and iPhone 4G Wishlist
When I first got my iPhone 3GS I was utterly disappointed with the camera. Being a photographer, my expectations were not exactly high, but I did expect on having a usable camera in well-lit situations. On first inspection I immediately wrote the “3 megapixel auto-focus camera” off as nothing more than a gimmick. For months [...]
