Hello again!

Looks like I'm going to ditch WordPress and return to my old method of sharing pics. These Blogger posts will link back to my personal website, with links to larger galleries. I'll also be taking out the Flash galleries and replacing them wiht HTML5 galleries using JuiceBox. More to come...soon. In the meantime, here's pic from my recent drive to Indian Beach, in the Ecola State Park.

Lightroom 4

Still gray in unsunny in PDX. Been playing with a new photo-editing app, Adobe Lightroom 4, and it is just what I've been waiting for.

Spring Sunset in Oregon

Sunset at the "other" Florence. Sadly, I am struggling to remember how to post...use or lose. Things are gonna change, more posts to come.

one milestone down...

...a bunch more to go.

With one major work-related project done, I felt a bit less stressed. I've found my creativity muted by work but, after the recent task was successfully completed, I've found my camera to be my friend again.

the long overdue nature walk

projects at work have consumed way too much of my time over the past 6 months. the main project will be ending soon, which is definitely raising my mood...and, like many Portlanders, the coming of sunny, warm weather has also bolstered my spirit

wishing you a prosperous and fulfilling new year

2010 provided challenges in many ways, but also opportunities to grow and learn. The coming of a new year always inspires a new sense of energy and optimism...and I'm ready to let 2011 begin a new chapter.

Happy New Year!

my camera still works...

...apparently I have been broken.

Exciting? Captivating?...

... not necessarily but guaranteed to be original!

Just trying to post some fresh (albeit mundane) stuff more frequently. So I'm cheating a little bit by posting from my iPhone using a pre-made template using FTP & photo-editing apps (yes, there's an app for nearly everything).

Take a look if you have time

me camera (and creativity) is getting rusty / dusty!

I'm thinking that all of my upcoming blog-posts will be in black n white...at least until SUNNY SUMMER arrives here in PDX.

sunny day on nehalem bay

Not terribly warm, but a beautiful day on the bay.

late winter sunset over nehalem bay

Planning a weekend at the Oregon coast, during the winter, can be a roll of the dice. You're never quite sure if the weather will cooperate. This past weekend, however, the weather was terrific.

This is Nehalem Bay as seen from the town of Wheeler.

Finally!!

After many attempts, I've finally color-calibrated my monitor! Thank you Nvidia for making a Windows 7 driver at last!

6 months later...

6 months between blog posts...pitiful! That's gonna change, you'll see.

Saw this fresh 'shroom on a recent hike. It resembles a hamburger bun, doesn't it?
