2016 wasn’t the most prolific year for taking photos, but I still got in a few good shots. Let’s jump right in. Selfie, huh? I don’t take many, but I really love this one. I think it has more to do with Ollie’s expression, but this was a genuine moment caught with my iPhone. I’ll...Read More

I started thinking about some year end posts I could write to neatly wrap up 2011. I figured I’d write my favorites posts of the year version. Then I started thinking about real analytics or metrics. What were my most read stories? And for that matter, what were my most viewed photographs in 2011? This...Read More

I submitted my best shot of 2011 to Flickr’s “Your Best Shot 2011” this evening. With big thanks to you, of course. A couple of weeks ago I included 10 of my favorite 2011 photographs and asked for your feedback. I got some blog comments, some emails and some recommendations in person. So thank you...Read More

I’ve actually been to Japan 3 times. I only count two, but my passport says otherwise. I got stranded for a night returning from Singapore when my flight got canceled during my connection at Narita. United Airlines put me up in a hotel for a night. Back in 2008, that meant I headed straight to...Read More

Early today I got to shoot an IndyCar race. I’ve taken many racing photos. But never of actual on track action. My previous shots were limited to pit lane or the garage or a stationary car. Turn 1 at the end of a fast, long straight was an entirely different proposition. I know the racing...Read More

Late last year, I was forwarded a link to the New York Times website. I clicked it, and it took me to Why We Travel: Submit Your Travel Photos 2011. I was sold immediately. Travel, photography, online and writing. All things I love. So I had 250 words to: “Share your best travel photos and...Read More

This is a fluff post. It’s for your viewing pleasure. It involves Flickr. And it features some of my favorite images I’ve discovered since joining Flickr in 2006. I’ve been using Yahoo! since 1999! Wow. So here are some my pick of the pics, in no particular order. Enjoy. I love this shot because I...Read More

Back in August I wrote about my experience in racing, holding a camera. Last week, on the IndyCar blog, I wrote about some of the changes in our photographic approach for the 2011 season. Both were good, important posts for me. In a slightly sad move, it means I won’t be taking as many photos...Read More
