As mentioned in the last post, the wind and weather on the morning of the 3rd made it one very tough morning. With the wind quite strong from the west, there were fewer birds on the exposed beach, and most of the birds were taking advantage of the small bit of shelter offered by the […]
When I used film-yuck, yuck, and more yuck–I refused to photograph unless it was a clear sunny day. Now I pray for clouds and overcast. Digital outperforms film by light years in gloomy or cloudy bright conditions. It is important to remember that if you are exposing to the right (as you should be) that […]
When we set sail in the pitch dark from Gibsonton on the Hooptie Deux we could tell that it was a bit foggy. When we got out to Alafia, it was quite foggy. When things are not great, do not fall into the habit of wishing things were better. Think outside the box and try […]

After I attended the NANPA Summit in Albuquerque, I led a 2 1/2 DAY IPT to one of my soul places, Bosque del Apache NWR in San Antonio, NM. As always, we stayed at the Socorro Super 8 in the north end of town and ate lunch and conducted our classroom sessions at K-Bob’s right […]
