The past year defined using photography by the New York Times. I wish I would have found this earlier!

I have always wanted a Holga camera. For those who do not know, Holga’s are a plastic toy pinhole camera that provides images with horrible quality. So, why might one want one? Well, that horrible quality can be uniquely appealing. It shoots film so once I get some images developed I’ll be sure to share them. In the meantime I did have a good time today walking around the nature center learning how to use it. Hopefully I got it right! In the meantime I found a nice little clip on YouTube demonstrating the best way to use a Holga. I wish I would have watched that first, but oh well. One of the joys of the Holga is the unexpected outcome you get. It’s photography in the simplest form and it’s what makes it fun.

I just finished completing a huge update of the main website.   The general layout is the same, however a few changes were made.  The biggest difference is in the update of the photographs.  In addition to what you see, there was also quite a bit of behind-the-scenes work done.  All in all, it was a much bigger project than I anticipated.  I’m happy it’s done, so feel free to view and enjoy.

Oh, and if you come across any errors please give me a heads up.  Thanks in advance!

There’s nothing more rewarding as a photographer than capturing amazing moments and freezing them for all time.  It’s even more rewarding when those moments are special ones in your own family!  Please welcome to the world my new nephew; Jason Lewis Bartes.  Isn’t he cute?  :)
