thomas point
Another photo from my early morning boat rides. Thomas Point Lighthouse resides off the shores of Bayridge in the Chesapeake Bay. Just south of the Bay Bridge it serves as a caution to the merchants and sailors that would venture into shoal water. It’s a pretty great lighthouse and actually offers tours these days. I’m [...]
crazy weekend / chapel dome
Crazy weekend behind me now. Between the travel time and events to attend, I took in an early morning boat ride to grab some photos. In the process I made it out to the Bay Bridge, Baltimore Light, and Thomas Point Light House. Those photos will get added to the Annapolis Project and make the [...]
oh garnetia!
Well here it is. I have held onto this video for awhile now. Let’s just say that USS Bataan has deployed and return since the filming, and they did about 10 months out. We were underway as usual operating as an Amphibious Readiness Group during the Bataan C2X (COMPTUEX). For this particular exercise my ship [...]

happy easter / lightroom 4 update
Happy easter friends! Great weather and a nice weekend help recharge the batteries. Here is a pic for the road. Also, big updates on Lightroom 4. There was one glaring problem with Lightroom 4, that while it didn’t end the game…slowed us down. The develop module was way slower, and all adjustment settings lagged behind [...]
beer is good, yuengling is better
A rainy saturday and I turn to the drink…what can I say? It’s good. I wanted to create a product shoot in celebration of America’s oldest brewery, Yuengling. It’s been my favorite beer since forever and I really wanted to create a cool shot of the bottle. Here’s a list of the stuff involved, and [...]
5 reasons i upgraded to Lightroom 4
