Yesterday was my birthday. It was low key, I didn’t really do any real work, I had awesome Sushi for dinner, I modded another flash and built an external battery box, had a fine cigar AND got to take some pictures! (obviously those are in no particular order)
Sherry is my wife’s Yoga instructor and she [...]
I successfully moded my Yongnuo YN460 to accept a bigger battery pack. Check out the video for more info.

I bought my first digital SLR camera on January 15, 2010. I studied my butt off, invested in some gear and practiced like crazy. Like every other hobby in my life I can’t help but get as good as possible as quickly as possible and I have been happy with my progress! Some of my [...]
We took some food over to the Burmeisters house this evening. Dinner was fabulous and the kiddo was in top form letting us all check him out. He even posed for some fun pictures. I didn’t capture a “Magic” shot of the whole family but hey, I’m still learning, it was fun playing with some [...]
I have been messing with lighting lately and was able to do a few “shoots”.
This one is of Haley Montgomery, a local Diego Artist. A friend of mine was doing a shoot for her and I volunteered to do the lighting. I figured it would be good practice to try to light without being behind [...]
I had this fancy little idea to to do a pseudo Bohemian Rhapsody shot of my sister’s fam. I figured I could just take the pics one at a time and photoshop them all together. (way easier then trying to get a 5, 4 and 1 year old to hold still and make appropriate faces.) [...]
One of my favorite places to hang out in the evening is in my shed with a fine cigar. One day I’ll have a real garage for projects and cigar smoking but until then I’ll just have to enjoy my shed. I recently got some new toys so I was ready to play. I just [...]
Some long time friends came up yesterday for a BBQ, hanging out and Photo Shoot. We wandered over to Indian Hills Camp, which adjoins our property, and took some fun pseudo western pictures. This literally was my first photo shoot with a family, or people for that matter, so I was excited and hoping they would turn our great. [...]
Yesterday I had the fabulous idea to go wander the ghetto of San Diego and take pictures of awesome stuff. San Diego has downtown ghetto and gangland ghetto. I stuck with downtown…
I wandered from Harbor over to Chicano Park under the Coronado Bridge. Matt came down and met me about half way through and I [...]
As you probably already know I’m new to the world of SLR photography. I have been shooting in manual to force myself to learn and have recently gotten excited on about long exposure stuff. I was a total dork the other night and drove around holding the camera taking long exposure shots of passing cars just [...]
Dear Ebay, sometimes I want to punch you in the face.
I have been researching lighting lately and stumbled upon this blog. My friend Matt told me about it a couple weeks ago but I forgot all about it until my searching exploits landed me there. The Strobist movement is pretty simple, basically you use a [...]
I just recently bought a DSLR, a Canon 400D to be exact. I never really intended to get into photography but I sort of just stumbled upon it.
I had a big model shoot coming up for Urban Sun Tanning and I was in charge. I wasn’t taking pictures but the weight success or failure rested on [...]
