Battery Backup

May 27, 2010 Time has really gotten away from me this month due to a power loss at my residence. I have lost power many times without a problem to anything including my computer. This time around the power got knocked out without any signs of loud, cracking thunderstorms. After the power went out and [...]

Blog, Photo, & Tech Updates

May 2, 2010 Head over to my Backyard Captures post for a close look at this image titled Orchard Blooms. Extreme warm weather in south western Michigan about 3 weeks ago brought about many fruit trees to bloom early. Great for photography but not exactly good for the fruit crop. Michigan ranks third in the [...]

Backyard Captures

May 2, 2010 Jan.11, 2010 The Solitaire Pine image below was taken with a Nikon CoolPix 995. I was pretty excited when I received this camera as a gift from my wife. I was on my way to fame and fortune with this sweet little package. The specs on this camera were impressive at the [...]

Red Rock Country

The southwestern part of the United States is abundant with the Prickly Pear Cactus. This particular image was taken just outside Sedona, Arizona. They grow just about anywhere in the desert and if your not looking you may just trip over them. In Arizona they are used for landscaping, erosion control, in food, syrup, medicinal [...]

Outside of Michigan

Jan. 21, 2010 16 weeks ago I posted this image and received some very nice comments from some of my friends. Last night when I was checking my blog this image was gone, vanished into thin air. Also the image below showing the Turnagain Arm no longer had a thin boarder around it like my [...]

Clouds

Just three Latin words reveal the meanings of most cloud names: Stratus meaning layer; cumulus, the word for lump or heap; and cirrus, which means wispy or curly. Add to this basic group the word nimbus, which means ‘pouring down rain,’ alto, the word meaning middle, and fracto for broken and you’ve got almost the [...]

Vidcast

Feb.8, 2010 Africa without Lions Africa has always held this mystical place in my heart. Far reaching destination with abundant wildlife and ecosystems that seem on the surface to be totally untouched, void from man. Sure there are places in Africa that few people have been to and yes those destination do exist-at least for [...]

Random Images

Decided to add some random images that feel a little warmer. Nothing in particular and nothing necessarily having to pertain to winter since I’m getting a little tired of it. For the past 3 years my wife and I have gone to Mexico to escape the endless Michigan winters. We both decided to stay home [...]

North Pier Details

Feb. 25, 2010 How often do you photograph the scene as a whole and call it good after that? My wife would describe me as someone who shoots for the detail in a shot. If you break down a single shot you can come away with a multitude of other images that tell even more [...]

Images from the Pier

February 4, 2010 New image from the North Pier looking at the Outer Lighthouse was taken before the temperatures took a climb and melted what your looking at. It was really amazing to be out on the pier at sunset and witness all these formations, and how it transforms the pier into a completely different [...]
