  • Day Trippin’ — Corcoran Lobby 2 - April 29th, 2006

    • If someone were to have told me I could make an “art photograph” with a camera phone, I would never have believed them. In fact, I might have said they were out of thier mind. However, with its 1.3MP imager, my new LG VX8100 “High Resolution Camera Phone” is as “good” as my original digital [...]

    Today’s Photo Friday challenge is “famous.”
    This photograph of country singer Hal Ketchum was taken at the Rams Head Tavern, in Annapolis, MD.
    I first heard Hal, and became somewhat of a fan, on a road trip from Denver to Steamboat Springs, CO. I was riding [...]

  • Filters and Colors - April 22nd, 2006

    • Rob commented on the “Valuable” picture, stating that Donna is green in the picture.
    When I shot the picture, the only filter I might have had on the camera would be a circular polarizer. I generally don’t use color correction filters, prefering to balance colors in the computer. This doesn’t conflict with my philosophy of not [...]

  • VALUABLE - April 20th, 2006

    • VALUABLE
    Uploaded by gerenm.

    Today’s Thursday Challenge is Valuable.
    When we think of things that are valuable, we typically think of things. Thinks like jewelry, cars, boats, real estate, our high-powered computers or tools — all things that cost us a lot of money.
    I tend more to think about what has value to [...]

  • Tulip Trees in the Evening - April 13th, 2006

    • Tulip Trees in the Evening
    Uploaded by gerenm.

    Donna and I went out this evening after dinner and took a few pictures. It was really a little too late, as we’d really pretty much lost the light. However, it didn’t stop us from taking pictures — I shot 55 frames in the [...]

  • Google Calendar - April 13th, 2006

    • Google have announced the launch of their Calendar web application.
    My initial reaction, after having spent 20 minutes trying to get into it this morning is a resounding, “ho-hum.”
    It doesn’t seem to integrate with other Google services, such as Gmail. It doesn’t import events from other calendars, or export them, either. When inviting others to a [...]

  • The Intimate Landscape - April 11th, 2006

    Last week, Donna and I attended a nature photography seminar presented by Christine Kent Bowles, during which she spoke about intimate landscapes.
    The intimate landscape is one in which, rather than trying to capture a huge, broad vista, the photographer zeroes in on only a portion of [...]
