Hawaii 2012

I'll start to post some photos from our recent Hawaii trip here over the next few weeks as I get them processed out.  Once I get them all done I'll have a gallery then to get them all into one place.

Here is a hand held pano shot with the Fuji x100.  I shot exclusively with that camera on this trip and it and was a treat.  I have not had this much fun shooting since I was in college.  To remove all the headache of DSLR's and just focus on the image is a really freeing thing for me.  Looking forward to shooting more with this camera moving forward.

Getting old

Just realized I have been working in the photo biz for 22 years now. Yikes. First assisting gig for a local Mall (remember malls?) was that long ago. It was where I first learned to call duct tape "Gaffers Tape" to make it sound fancy. LOL!

The Doors? Really?

"And while a thousand bands have artfully ripped off Pavement, everyone looks absurd imitating the Doors. They are the rock equivalent of "Don't try this at home.""  

I have not thought about The Doors in years, but the other night a buddy brought them up and then I read this yesterday.  The above quote is one of the best descriptions of them I have ever read. The write up is a interesting read about the 40th anniversary of L.A. Woman.

Generation X is sick of your bullshit.

"Right now, Generation X just wants a beer and to be left alone. It just wants to sit here quietly and think for a minute. Can you just do that, okay? It knows that you are so very special and so very numerous, but can you just leave it alone? Just for a little bit? Just long enough to sneak one last fucking cigarette? No? Whatever. It’s cool.

Generation X is used to disappointments. Generation X knows you didn’t even read the whole thing. It doesn’t want or expect your reblogs; it picked the wrong platform.

Generation X should have posted this to LiveJournal."

Ecaustic project from yesterday

So here is what I was playing with yesterday.  I should have tested with some more blacks in the wood areas, but this was a nice learning experience.

 

Big Thanks to the wife for dragging my butt into the studio.
