Aperture Library Exports And Imports For On-The-Go Workflows
Aperture's library export and import features open up a wealth of on-the-go workflow possibilities.
Humming Along
There's something about my yard that hummingbirds love. Each spring, I'll find a nest in one of my trees. This year, I found it early and the babies haven't hatched yet.
Mossy Rocks
I have a lot of images I've not yet processed. This one "spoke to me" yesterday ... maybe my subconscious telling me I needed a dose of calm last night.
Coronado Bridge Redux
When I'm in the field, I usually bracket my shots. Bracketing doesn't automatically mean HDR. Nowadays, I bracket more to make sure I come away with a properly exposed photo. I wasn't always so wise (insert jokes here).
Jacumba, Interrupted
Jacumba, California was a resort spot in the 1940s. Its hot springs drew in the Hollywood crowd, including the likes of Clark Gable. Alas, times change.

Rice Terraces In Bhutan
Misty mornings with clouds zipping through the foothills of the Himalayas were very common during my visit to Bhutan. Almost never a dull sky.
One Night In Bangkok
In the fall of 1999, I spent one night in Bangkok. Being a hard man, I was humbled.
Planning Trumps Prayers
Last week's theme was Churches/Houses of Worship at The Patch, the photo challenge I help curate on Google+. And this week, I didn't plan properly and my photos suffered for it.
The PlusOne Collection
Over on Google+, Ivan Markov has been hosting a project for the last few years - the PlusOne Collection. Google+ photographers from all walks of life share their photos for a charitable cause.
Choppy Ocean
A simple, minimalist photo of a very choppy ocean. I was in a serene mood, very relaxed, while processing this, and softened up the waves.
The Sunset Experiment
Choosing a composition and sticking with it throughout a sunset - or any landscape - opens up some interesting possibilities for crafting a unique image. Over the last two weeks I've been experimenting with the shots from a recent sunset shoot. With each photo, I focused less on producing an end photo and more on "generating ideas" - to borrow a phrase from Trey Ratcliff.
