Each year, I like to perform a retrospective on my photography from the last twelve months. Because of my geeky nature, I like to perform a cursory statistical analysis of what I shot and contrast that to what has gone before. The pictures chosen are picked by month and typically represent a favorite...

Sometimes, either because of deliberate choice, forgetfulness, or the constraints of our camera mode, even us dedicated RAW shooters fire of a JPEG or two. That is what happened here. The full-auto mode of my Canon G10 only shoots JPEG files and I didn’t notice that I had bumped the dial. Grab...

I have included some of my favorite sunrise images from my last few seasons of photography. Sometimes it is hard to drag myself out of bed-especially in the summer months when sunrise is before five am. I am usually rewarded for my efforts-as you can see below.
