A couple of days ago, walking out the front door, I came across a single crocus poking it’s head up through the dead leaves and detritus. Of course there were lots of shoots coming up, not only crocuses but also daffodils, but this was the first honest to god flower I’ve seen this spring.
The next [...]
Midnight is the newest addition to our house. Misty bought him a couple of days ago from the Indianapolis City Animal Shelter. He’s 3 months old, has spent the last month in the shelter, and is just a wee bony little guy. He’s definitely had a hard life so far. He’s still a bit camera [...]
I’ve been meaning to write about the Radiant Vista for the last week or so, but now I don’t have any excuse not to.
The Radiant Vista is a combination of community photography website, as well as an amazing resource for photographers at any level of experience who are looking for ways of improving their photography. [...]
Yats is one of my favorite restaurants in town. To say their food is good is an understatement. It’s a small taste of New Orleans cuisine in the cold Midwest, for about what you would pay for a meal at a fast food restaurant (and quicker than some fast food restaurants).

We had another good turnout last Saturday for the November IndyFlickr photowalk. The weather was beautiful (once the sun came out and it warmed up a bit). I’ll have a post recapping it on photowalking.org in a day or two.
I didn’t plan on it when I went, but I ended up taking most of my [...]
In my previous post I talked a little about my new favorite lens for my main camera. This shot is a perfect example of why I wanted to get a good fast lens. On a purely technical level, if what you’re looking for is tack sharp focus and perfect composition, this photo sucks.
But as a [...]
I couldn’t have taken this photo last week. Not because the rugrat wouldn’t have posed (although that’s difficult enough to do on the best of days), but because up until last Friday the main lens on my Canon 300D was the kit lens that came with the camera.
I just got a Canon EF 28 mm [...]
