Last weekend, June 25 and 26th I was given a unique chance to participate as a member of the media for the 20th anniversary Rhode Island Airshow run by the Rhode Island National Guard. This year's theme was 20 years of thrills. The PAO team treated us all well on the first day and this was great since we had the best weather to photograph the event. The Thunderbirds were the headlienrs and they did an incredible show for the media on the 25th and for the ... << MORE >>

There will also be skydivers and a combined arms demo. The Thunderbirds cap off the event as the headliners. Here is their schedule. Maybe I'll see you there.

In the 1988 best selling book by Robert Fulghum "All I Really Need to Know I Learned in Kindergarten" is a wonderful poem that provides positive thoughts about living life.

(You can get the book on Amazon through this sponsored link.)  

I recently had to wish a friend and colleague good luck as he changed jobs and I will no longer be able to shoot the S--- with him about photography. So I decided to paraphrase this wonderful poem ...

It is going on 4 weeks since my trip on the USS Lincoln. The question is if this truly was my trip of a life time?  To truly be such a life event, then something should have changed in my life. Well there has been changes. I made a couple of friends. A parent and a wife of crew members on the USS Lincoln. The parent's daughter is a nuclear engineer on the Lincoln. This parent, is so proud of his daughter that he thinks the world of her. (I guess as any dad would). ... << MORE >>

People and the Machines

It has been a little over a week since I completed my trip of a life time aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln. I have to say, this trip was a life changing experience for me and I want to share it with my friends and family. But how?

I write this while having a nice dinner looking out onto the Pacific Ocean contemplating the last 36 hours of my life. I just finished the trip of a life time participating as a delegate for the Social Media Business Council to the Navy's Distinguished Visitor program. I went on this trip with one set of perceptions of the Navy and the military in general. Not bad perception (I'm a Reagan Republican) but one of almost indifference. I always respected the services and thanked the men and women of the military for protecting me, but I really ...

 In January, I had posted about a planned trip of a lifetime, the postponement of that trip but then the task of turning lemons into lemonade buy using that time to test the Canon 7D and 16-33mm 2.8 lens I had rented.

Well it is a few months later and the US Navy kept their promise and have rescheduled this trip. I leave this weekend to spend a few days on the left coast. I'm going to spend some more time photographing San Francisco (seeing my long lost ...

The impact of the iPad on Photography

The iPad is coming April 3th.

Many people have pondered what this new device will achieve on introduction. There are millions of posts all over the internet and in mainstream media on this subject.

I found many postings on the iPad are titled “The impact of the iPad on _____". The blank is filled with all kinds of subjects from comic books to real estate sales to photography. So I felt this space was full, but a colleague in my day job asked my opinion and ...
