Merry Christmas 2016!

Cafe Du Monde, New Orleans

Beignets for Santa! It has been a completely crazy and busy end of the year at work and I have had little time for blogging or photography. For my vacation this month I had planned a simple staycation with my family, but as with most things, the best laid plans … Jen and I have […]

An image of the Eiffel Tower taken with a 15mm fisheye lens

ViewBug Featured Photo? WTFOver? I got a truly amazing surprise yesterday when I got home after a long hellish day at work.

Longwood Gardens at Night Yesterday was my birthday, and my wife and I spent the night in Philadelphia so that we could attend the Longwood Gardens Nightscape event – a sound and light show using the natural surroundings as a backdrop and canvas put together by Klip Collective. As for the show, it was ok, nothing to rant […]

Lightroom to Instagram Plugin

Push photos from Lightroom to Instagram So for years I’ve had a dormant Instagram account that I rarely used as it was too much work to move photos from Lightroom over to my desktop to sync to my phone to post… it was a royal pain in the ass. A couple of days ago, I stumbled […]
