One of the common problems at outdoor events photography is the contrast between shiny reflective surfaces and those areas in shade. I use a circular polarizing filter and mild fill flash as much as possible. Some car show shots remain very tricky. That white reflective plastic on some...
I haven't posted in 10 days. What the heck have I been doing? It seems that my focus got kind of blurred. It's like trying to read with one eye. It works for a while and then things are hard to see. The weekend of the fouth of July kind of got awaty from me. I ran in the Fireball Moonlight 5K and...
Let's start with the good. Performance videos, and the long list of BADS will be up later: The chick who won, Spyda TOTALLY deserved it. She had good moves but really rocked on showmanship. Spyda is not a skinny little stereotypical white LA girl. She was a slightly chunky dark skinned girl (I...

Although my friend JM found his writings to be “too gay,” David Sedaris is, without a doubt, my favorite author. So when my friend YC told me that he would be coming to Book People, I purchased my voucher for the event that very weekend. Even though he was not scheduled to begin reading from his...
Ok, not really. But we went back to Peter Pan Miniature Golf tonight--my sister, her boyfriend, and moi. We went last year just before my birthday near the end of July. Tonight was way, way hotter. Gross hot. So hot at 10 o'clock that we took rain checks for our second game and settled for finishing...
Friday, June 20, 2008 OK, I realize that’s a pretty presumptuous title for this blog entry. But, it’s something I strive for as a teacher: to question my students in such a way that develops their interest and nurtures their insights. Tuesday was my formal evaluation day. I taught the IEGO: the...
One will be damned, while the other destined for greatness. This is how the NBA finals ends. There can't be co-champions in the league, there can only be one. After game 4 of the NBA finals in Los Angeles, the Boston Celtics are just a game away in claiming their 17th championship since joining the...
Share a song you listened to in 6th grade. Of course when I take a look at 1986 and 1987 charts, I realize that I can't keep it to just one. However, I will restrain myself and post only five. The first three pretty much helped me confirm my sneaking suspicions that I was "different." Bad Boys:...

And I pretty much didn't see any of the comeback by the Celtics. Seeing as the Celtics were down by 21 at the end of the first quarter, I turned away from the game to watch the A's-Yankees game instead. I checked in every so often to see if the Celtics could make a game of it. I figured they could...
The Los Angeles Times reported a successful conclusion to the Fiesta de 976tuna tournament in Baja California’s East Cape region. Sea of Cortez marlin and dorado are stuffed with squid, so it has been tricky to get them to bite. However, Mary and Kenny Cochran of Torrance caught and released their...
in the past two weeks sarah and i have visited yellowstone on two separate occasions, both more or less spur of the moment. our first trip of the season into yellowstone was a two day renegade mission to catch a glimpse of the famed wolves. neither of us had ever seen one, and in a way irked both of...
After a couple of back-to-back, three-peats and dynasties the most popular rival in the NBA again takes the center stage for the 2008 NBA finals. The new look Boston Celtics will feature the league's hottest trio in Ray Allen, Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett going up against the Kobe Bryant led Los...
One half of the Super Bowl has been decided, with the still perfect New England Patriots defeating the injury-riddled San Diego Chargers 21-12. Now, it is time for the senior league's championship game, featuring the six-time champion New York Giants (1927, 1934, 1938, 1956, 1986, 1990) visiting the...
KnoxNews: Frist, Alexander cite potential supply I am not currently living in Tennessee, but am a Vol by the grace of God, and found this article informative... I agree with the thought process of both senators. Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist, R-Tenn., said: 'The high cost of gasoline illustrates...
Today was a rest day, habitually a day of waving people off, late breakfast, post-cards, laundry, visiting Wal-Mart, cleaning the bike and being generally comatose. Today had the extra attraction of the Holland - Russia Euro game on ESPN2. Except that Holland lost 3-1. Piet & Hetty didn't seem too...
W. Lamar Fields, Esquire? More like Esquwuss! Yeah, that sounded better in my head. Fields is supposedly the lawyer for the child of one of the men Savannah/Chatham County Police… oops, sorry Chief, one of the men METRO Police shot and killed last year. Fields supposedly wrote a LTTE: “Invite...
I am reading this long-ass article in the New Yorker about commuting. I have to say, it makes me happy to read that studies show commuting really does make people miserable, as I immediately rule out any prospective employer that is farther north than my current job. This means ruling out serious,...
