Booking 2017 weddings today
“Booking 2017 weddings today,” read the magazine ad I saw yesterday. Upon reading that ad, the optimists among us will likely think, “We’re just half way through 2016. No need to rush into these things. I’ve got all the time in the world.” However, the pessimists among us will think more along the lines of,…
Read MoreTo infinity and beyond
“To infinity…and beyond!” Okay, I confess…this post has absolutely nothing to do with Buzz Lightyear of Toy Story fame. But it does have to do with light years and light. Astronomers tell us that our galaxy, the Milky Way, is just one of billions of galaxies in an astoundingly vast universe, each of which contains…
Read MorePhotography 101: ISO
Photography 101: ISO Light is an amazing thing. I once viewed Saturn through a telescope and was able to actually see its rings. I was looking at a planet that was 746 million miles away. How far away is that? Light travels at 186,000 miles per second or 670 million miles per hour. Traveling at…
Read MoreFields of gold
Fields of gold. There’s just something about fields of gold. Can’t resist them, don’t want to. Whenever I come across a field of gold – or red or yellow or blue or pink or orange – I just want to stop, drop, and roll. It’s funny how some photo shoots stick in your mind more…

There is a 100 percent chance you’re reading this blog post right this second. And there is a 100% chance someone else is not. I’m a sucker for a good statistic. But statistics can be tricky things. It’s been said that a statistician is someone who stands in a bucket of ice water while he…

Read MoreA man’s house is his castle
In 1644, English jurist, Edward Coke, said, “A man’s house is his castle.” Domus sua cuique tutissimum refugium – One’s home is the safest refuge for all. The expression even found its way into our Bill of Rights, “The right of people to be secure in their…houses…against unreasonable searches and seizures shall not be violated.”…
Read MoreEvery bride is a 10
Every bride is a 10. Almost sounds like a movie title, doesn’t it? Though this question probably dates me more than I care to admit, do you remember the 1979 movie, “10,” starring Bo Derek and Dudley Moore? This romantic comedy popularized the rating of one’s physical attractiveness on a scale of 1-10. While usually…
Read MoreDon’t take my Kodachrome away
“I got a Nikon camera I love to take photographs So mama don’t take my Kodachrome away.” So sang Paul Simon the summer of 1973. Truth be told, I prefer shooting in black-and-white but that’s a story for another day. Though invented decades earlier, color photographs didn’t become main stream until the 1960s. A few…
