I was lucky to see a lot of great live shows this year, and even luckier to be able to shoot most of them with my Nikon D5000. Although I am decidedly an amateur, I think I ended up with some pretty decent shots, so I decided to create a “best of” style compilation to [...]

I finally had a chance to pull together a full re-cap of my trip down to SXSW last week. Check it out: SXSW 2011 Recap at Live Music Blog

I thought I’d post some photos from our fabulous vacation in Maui and Kauai…

Last week, I had a nice opportunity to test out my brand-new DSLR camera — a Nikon D5000 — in a more difficult setting: a Brothers Past concert at Brooklyn Bowl. Although I’m still getting the hang of the thing, I was able to grab a few decent shots. If you want the full round-up [...]

I’ve been toying around with a few image-editing programs. I just downloaded/installed GIMP (aka GNU Image Manipulation Program), which seems to be the closest open-source program you can get to Photoshop. It’s very cool and quite robust. I’m a total novice with this stuff, but I think I managed to put together a decent photo [...]

I still had a few fun food photos left on the camera from the end of the summer, so I thought I’d do one last summer photo round-up for the site. Yum: Perfect Pastrami from Katz’s Deli A Crab Boil in NYC? Heirloom tomatoes w/basil (from Vermont): Homemade pizza: Southwestern Veggie Chili:

Linds and I finally went back to NYC mid-July for the full apartment search. As most people will say, the apt. search in NYC is a whole different beast than it is in most other major U.S. cities. We’ve dealt with searches in Boston, Chicago, etc… but we knew we really had to gear up [...]

I couldn’t get enough of the fresh salsa we made a few weeks back, so I went for round two. It’s such a simple recipe, but is worlds beyond anything you can buy in a store: Ingredients: Ripe tomatoes (I like plum tomatoes the best; they’re usually pretty cheap and don’t have tons of seeds/pulp) [...]

I am a bit of a foodie, so it’s natural that I’ve recently started taking a lot more photos of good grub. After uploading a few recent food photos from my digital camera, I realized I had a pretty decent archive of food pics already up on my flickr page. So, I compiled all my [...]

An old friend recently posted some photos on Facebook from our Camp Echo days that reminded me of all the photos I had but never took the time to scan in as digital prints. Although I “wasted” away a solid Saturday afternoon with the scanner and my flickr page, it was really fun to re-live [...]
