Westly Clark is a butt kissing POS.... he was the 1 star General and Commander of Fort Hood Texas. He was the one solely responsible for giving Janet Reno the Military Equipment, manpower, and weapons to slaughter the Branch Dividians at Waco Tx. Whether or not you agree with how it was handled is...
I'm on vacation!
It is finally Friday!!!!!!!! Hooooooooooooray!!!!!!!!!!!! If only the smoke would blow out of the valley then fun would be eminent for the weekend. I was looking forward to tennis and swimming this weekend but it looks like that will come to a screeching halt. Since it is recommended that strenuous...
Originally uploaded by realmerlyn I took a bunch of pictures at Smalltalk Solutions 2008. Of course, I'm not in any of them, but you might recognize some of the other famous folks.
I just finished giving my jam-packed keynote at Smalltalk Solutions in Reno. I knew the originally proposed "persistence" part of the talk was going to come up a bit short, so luckily the organizers allowed me to also give my evangelizing talk (Seaside: Your next web framework) as well. Even though...
Spotted in Reno -- not much evidence, unless it's underground.
A few of us drove up to Tahoe for some good times and long exposures. The first shot works out to be about 1.5 hours of exposure with the 10.5mm. The second photo is a stitched panorama composed of 4 photos taken at ISO 3200 @f/3.2 with my new Tokina 11-16mm f/2.8. PS, I'm thinking of closing down...
In my last post I mentioned that I had lost a 2GB memory card full of photos from our camping trip at the Black Rock desert. I tore apart EVERYTHING looking for it and nothing. I spent almost an entire day cleaning my car, double and triple checking my camera bags, unpacking all my camping equipment...
Last weekend I joined a group of friends for a camping trip on the Black Rock Desert near Gerlach, NV. I actually grew up there and hadn't been back in about 4 years, so when Katie and Scott asked me to do some formal wedding portraits of them, I immediately said "we should go to the playa!" BTW,...
Looms above the casino floor at the Silver Legacy Resort. They project info about upcoming shows and the like on the inside surface.
Here are some UPDATES with what's going on.........how time flies! There was a death in our family and my sister in law's mother passed away. It was sad, but the positive side of that was spending time with my niece and nephew. I baby sat them the night of the wake and we had loads of fun. My niece...
A couple from last week.
Here are some watches I recently shot for a client who sells on ebay. He specifically asked for photos that were realistic looking but professional *whatever that means*. I used my two studio heads with large softboxes and combined with my sb800 to shoot most of these. The Navitimer is worth...

Tonight, Drinking with Clowns are frolicking with the Bohemian Burlesque at the Underground Saturday night, the big Yuris night at Club Bliss and Studio on 4th: a big local burner supported event: Launch off into...
This was only visible sign of life that we found during our expedition inside the multiple mile long wooden flume near Reno, NV. Fielding, Nick, Tony and I spend hours exploring and photographing this amazing find! The flume turned out to be a fairly dangerous place as one of the photographers in...
Here are a couple of long exposure shots with the new cam. Noise performance is really great compared to my old D200. The last two photos were taken WITHOUT long exposure noise reduction. Verdi bridge (look closely for the train), 12 mins, f/8 @ ISO 200 with the fisheye, daylight WB. Robb Drive...
I finally got my new camera on Monday and I've been really itching to shoot something, so I decided to play around with some flowers. Comments welcome...
Boy, last years burning man experience, has been one of the best ever. There were so many adventures that were planted while on the playa. And so many of them have already been started, and growing and gathering momentum. sometimes I sit back and think I am watching a TV station with all kinds of...
These recent POTD's come from a recent event at Bliss NightClub. The Reno Passport, (which by the way the April issue just came out) had their winter bash party. Those guys are great. They are really spending a lot of time and hard work getting a good message across the reno area. "live ur city". If...
