I was really bummed at first. After some swearing and several "it could be there" moments, I gave ... http://www.geekslens.com/2009/11/01/photos-from-devdays-or-how-i-learned-to-live-without-a-real-camera/ All the leaves are turning and falling. I went back through my photos from this summer and found this one. It was about 80 degrees and a bit humid. I remember thinking, "It could be a little cooler, and this would be perfect." Unfortunately, the fall in the northeast has been ... http://www.geekslens.com/2009/11/01/in-rememberance-of-summer/ I can hardly believe that it has been three months, but hey, time flies when you have the best job of your (relatively short) career, and you are working with awesome people. This summer was all about the new product we are making at the Creek. It was long hours, fights ... http://www.geekslens.com/2009/09/21/deep-breath/ It is a bit last-minute in terms of planning, but I will be participating in the Relay for Life event in Yonkers on Friday night to help raise money for cancer research, treatment, and prevention.

I shot these with my mono pod. Bad move. This kind of shooting requires a real-deal tripod. The results were ... http://www.geekslens.com/2009/06/03/west-point-at-night/ The Winooski river runs through the center of Montpelier, and the buildings that live right above it are hundreds of years old, in some cases. The thing that struck me after I took this, is that it seemed like it was somewhere else. New Orleans? It just breaks away from ... http://www.geekslens.com/2009/05/25/somewhere-else/ Ran across this old drain on a *mostly* defunct dam in the middle of the woods this weekend. For context, here is the "dam": http://www.geekslens.com/2009/05/17/industrial/ This is the HDR version of a black and white photo that I posted a while back. I appreciate both versions, but this one is so much more like I remember it. http://www.geekslens.com/2009/05/01/a-new-take-on-an-old-photo/ We took an extended trip out today to get various things done. Phoebe accompanied us. Partly for her sake, and partly to make sure that we wouldn't be tempted to go anywhere that doesn't like dogs (nothing inside). It was pretty perfect. http://www.geekslens.com/2009/04/19/spring-blossoms/ This was the first shoot in what I hope to be a series of location shoots around my area. There are a whole host of old cemeteries in the northeast with some rather amazing artwork in them. I am hoping to capture a bunch of images from them for a ... http://www.geekslens.com/2009/04/13/graveyard-sculpture/
