Photo's with Canon G9

My most recent purchase of a Canon G9 has been very rewarding. The DSLR's are an amazing tool. The Canon G9, a complex p&s camera, has the compactability of a regular digital camera with all the features and then some of a DSLR. For example, the Canon G9 has a feature called COLOR ACCENT which does exactly that; choosing a color based on the image at hand, it will desaturate all around it leaving only the desired color. Here are some examples (these have not been photoshopped):

Jon F. & Anteaters and the Women Who Love Them

This evening we were all treated to the entertainment by Jon Faubert and Anteaters and the Women Who Love Them at Tijuana Flats. Absolutely amazing performances by both.

The photo's below are not in order and of course subject to the poor quality of the internet but here they are (some of them) for your viewing pleasures.

Secret Garden

I have an understated overgrowth on the side of my house. As I was sitting in the family room playing on the piano, I heard a chirp and a knock on the window facing that overgrowth. The blue-jays are back. I went out to see what treasures I could find. As I passed under the archway formed by the overgrown hedges, it was reminiscent from something out of Narnia.

My Photography




Bienvenue

MISSION STATEMENT
In an tteempt to broaden my scope of growth and experience, I have founded FLASH BULB PHOTOGRAPHY.

Photography is a passion. A passion that propels me to betterr myself and my skills in the field. Many attempt greatness by being ignorant to their failings. It is in my personal opinion that true Greatness is only achieved in the face of failings. If we were all to succeed in all that we do, we would have no means by which to measure success.

My goal with this new endeavor will be to provide Photography services whether for special occasions or for personal needs such as Portraits or events. In the space between such needs, I will create a portfolio in which I can demonstrate the capabilities of FLASH BULB PHOTOGRAPHY.

EQUIPMENT
Nikon D40x
AF-Snikkor 18-55mm GII ED lens
3600 DFNi TTL Dedicated AF Illuminator
Sigma DC 55-200mm Telephoto Lens
