I'm dealing with a huge backlog of family photos, but I'll try to post things for everyone to see more often.

See the photo I made my icon from by clicking >

Welcome to my pictures. Each photo is in an album. Viewing by albums is how the photos are intended to be viewed. The album(s) a photo belongs to are on the lower right of each photos page. The rights I grant will be in the album description if different from the following. Pictures can be printed 4"x6" using the ORIGINAL SIZE file or saved to your computer for personal viewing. Larger prints require my permission and larger files. All other rights reserved. No commercial use, no distribution, no derivative works without prior permission.

I've gotten many requests for derivative work. THANKS! I'm honored. I'm an artist myself and I'm too busy with projects and two little ones to handle those requests. So for now, no derivative works. Thank you for respecting copyrights.

"Bigma" Sigma 50-500mm f/4-6.3 EX DG HSM with Kirk lens plate The Bigma focus motor is nearly dead:(

Other:

580EX flash with Lightsphere ID (PJ clear w/ internal dome)

Bogen/Manfrotto 682B monopod

Oben ACM 1400 monopod (bike rides)

Gitzo 1227 MK2 carbon fiber tripod - better when center column is extended

Sirui N-2204X Carbon Fiber Tripod - more stable legs that stay put, packs much smaller

Acratech Ultimate ballhead

Acratech GV2 Ballhead/Gimbal - my current fav

Jobu Jr 3 Gimbal Head

Nodal Ninja Ultimate M1-L with RD16 II rotator modular spherical panorama head - it isn't light, but it is solid holding a gripped dslr

Lowepro Photo Sport Pro 30L (so I can bring the big lens on bike rides)

Tamrac Pro 12 bag

Lowepro Computrekker Plus AW backpack

-Finally a bag that will hold all my stuff! I can keep the Bigma and the 100 macro mounted and not waste 1/3 the space. The bad news, it weighs a ton!

Software:

Capture One Pro (my main raw processor as of Jan 2018)

Photools Imatch DAM (my new database app as I move away from Lightroom)

Adobe Photoshop CC (sparingly after Affinity Photo, not at all since 2024)

Adobe Photoshop Lightroom Classic (version used should be in tags, haven't used since 2018)

Affinity Photo

PTGUI Pro

HDR merge & tonemap: Photomatix Pro, Picturenaut, HDR Expose, and 32bit Float

RawShooter premium 2006 (used until Adobe bought it, many of my shots processed with RSP will be redone with C1 as I find time

--All public photos should be tagged with camera and lens. 10D photos without a lens tag were shot with a 1993 consumer grade Canon EF 75-300 f/4-5.6 USM. The Bigma images will be tagged with Bigma and

Sigma50-500f/4-6.3DG

Friends and Family:

To see family photos I need to add you to my family list. Add me as a "family" contact. If you aren't using your full real name on flickr, send me a message (use flickrmail) with your name and screen name so I know who you are. I'll add you to the list ASAP. You'll also be added to my private group where I'll help everyone get connected. If you all select favorite (see above) pictures, I'll make "highligt" sets which only contain those selected as favorites.

If you want to see the kids exact age, click More Properties on the right. Near the bottom of that page next to Supplemental Category: is Amber's age down to the day. It is so specific because I use it in my database for sorting.
