This past weekend was the Worcester Cup Bonspiel, a curling tournament at The Country Club in Brookline, MA. The South Shore Curling Club sent three teams (I was on South Shore II) and all three made it to the finals on Sunday, with our team playing for the Worcester Cup! We were pretty proud that our …
Two months into it, and I’m still going. I figured I might lose steam in my second month of taking a photo every day, so to force myself to keep it up I followed fatmumslim’s photo a day: a topic is provided for each day, and that’s what you have to shoot. But for March I think …
I’ve been wanting to do a project 365 (taking a photo every day) for the past few years, but I just couldn’t follow though. I just never had my camera with me at all times, and I wouldn’t even get through January. There was also the issue of trying to take a great photo every …
I’ve had some pretty bad luck with Red Sox games and weather this year. After we had a decent April evening to see the Sox beat the Yankees (for only their second win of 2011) it’s been a rainy crapfest every time since. The only real difference between these photos are the date: The one …
My friend and all-around good guy Rick MacDonald organized a flatland jam in East Bridgewater this weekend. There was a good turnout of riders (more than I expected) and it was great seeing friends I haven’t seen in years, not to mention meet new people. Of course, I took photos of the riding — highlights …
I haven’t posted here in quite a while, so I’m late to publicly wish my brother and new sister-in-law congratulations on their recent marriage. We all had a lot of fun, I was honored to be part of it, and the kids even took part (hey Jeremy, where’s the box with the rings you’re supposed …
If there’s one thing I’ve learned from photography, is that you don’t always know what your best shot will be. Sometimes I spend a lot of time planning and setting up a photo, shooting multiple photos from various vantage points, only to be disappointed by every one of them. Then other times I’ll shoot a …
I’ve never really been a fan of HDR images. There are a lot of examples on Flickr; some really boost the colors to near-cartoon levels, and others push their photos to a have a more dreamlike look. While many are interesting, I don’t want that look for my photos, so I decided I didn’t like …
I’ve been wanting to get back into shooting photos lately. The recent snowstorms provided a good subject, but my dislike of cold + laziness kept me inside. But I really have to keep practicing, so I had the kids show off their favorite stuffed animal while I played with the off-camera flash.
Last week we took our first family vacation (to the White Mountains area in New Hampshire) and had a good time, despite some rainy weather. Some photos will eventually end up in my Flickr photostream, but if you’re into looking at people’s vacation slides (and who isn’t?!) you can view them here.
