Cameras used in the stratus jump

Popular Photography has an article on the Cameras used in the stratus jump. An interesting video discussing the cameras used and the modifications that they had to make to them.

Learn to Adapt

There is a new shirt up in the shop as of yesterday.  "Learn to Adapt" features a 45 RPM adapter and utilizes a font reminiscent of a manual typewriter. You can see it here: Learn to Adapt hand-screened tee.

I seem to be adding more shirts to my Etsy shop than photographs.  We actually have a different shop and I'm considering moving all of the non-photographic items over to it.

No rush....

It is Wednesday night. My wedding is Saturday afternoon.  I guess I should finish my vows, yipes!

Doesn't look like a water park to me

Some photos

I don't have too much to say today, so I figured I would just put up a couple of photographs taken while walking on one of my turtle patrols. I used to make my walking patrols at right about sunrise, which provided many photo opportunities.  This year, I'm doing the patrols later in the day - I'm not seeing the gorgeous sunrises, but I'm also extending my route. Using the bicycle, I'm getting in many more miles per day and hopefully I will come across a nesting sea turtle.
