Thank You Mood

From 2010 Blog

- Mood Fabrics on 37th Street in NYC's fashion District is a sight to see. As fans of the TV show Project Runway, we just had to stop by and check it out. This is one of many displays of thread. Canon G11, 1/30 sec @ f/2.8, ISO 400 in macro mode.

The Monarch

From 2010 Blog

- The Monarch is the best known of all North American butterflies. This male is a great example of the species, large with bold orange and black coloring. They are unmistakable when spotted during the spring and late summer migrations. The monarch is the only butterfly that migrates both north and south just as birds do on a regular basis. However, no single individual makes the entire round trip. Canon 7D, 1/640 sec @ f/4.0, ISO 400, 200mm focal length.

Night Harbor

From 2010 Blog

- The San Diego harbor and night skyline. I took this picture back in November 2006 from the deck of a harbor dinner cruise boat. It was a great clear night. I was surprised that I managed to make the picture this sharp with a relatively long exposure and the camera braced on the rail of the boat. Canon Rebel XTi, 1/3 sec @ f/3.5, ISO 800.

Suburban Sunrise

From 2010 Blog

- Sunday sunrise in the burbs. The sun was just coming up when I went to fetch the morning paper. What to do, take a picture of course! Canon G11, 1/160 sec @ f/8.0, ISO 200.

Mom?

From 2010 Blog

- The Jewish Mother Restaurant in Virginia is an institution. Billing it self as "The Home of East Coast Blues" the small restaurant is both a great place to eat and experience live music. This is a shot of the sound board with the brightly painted Pacific Avenue windows in the background. Canon G11, 1/40 sec @ f/2.8, ISO 800. BTW - the carrot cake is to die for.
