I spent last weekend at the Community Leadership Summit up in Portland. My second CLS and my first trip to Portland.

Good conference. Nice town too.

UPDATE 7/26: I posted a few thoughts about the conference on my new work blog.

Sunlight & Shadow

It’s (finally) that time of year when we start getting a lot of afternoon light on the terrace. I’m fascinated by the shadows the sun casts on the terrace, & now with the prime lens I’ve been having some fun with depth of focus shots against the patterns the shadows cast.

Friday (Pre-holiday) Cat Blogging

Our cat Tommy expresses his regret that Summer will be ending soon by claiming my flip-flops as his own.

On the bright side, it’s Rosh Hashanah this weekend! A happy and sweet New Year to all.

I was playing with the depth of field on this shot and am pretty happy with how it turned out.

Only thing I wish I could change is the pillow in the left corner, but if I’d moved it Tommy would have woken up.

Sunday by The Beach

It was a little windy out by the ocean today, but the sun was shining and all in all it was a great day to enjoy the weather (and some Mimosas) with friends.

Happy Daylight Savings!

Unlike Groundhog Day, Daylight Savings is a sure harbinger of spring. The weather’s getting nicer and this week I spotted the first new blossoms on a tree down the block.

I’ll miss the hour of sleep a bit, but it’s a worthwhile tradeoff for more daylight and the change of season.

Friday Cat Blogging: Laptop Edition

Bear really loves to crash out on the MacBook Pro. Sadly, he also thinks the power cord is a playtoy.

Oh, yeah, and I have a new theme. I got tired of Mandigo losing its settings all the time.

Rain Against Snow

Little things become interesting when you’re stuck in the traffic jam from hell. What’s neat is that this was shot with the stock lens on the D40 and automatic settings.

I’m getting curious to see what I can do once I know what I’m doing and have an extra lens or two to play with.

Tahoe Panorama

Not to sound like a total corporate shill but Photoshop CS4 is the utter shizz. Isn’t this neat? I dropped a few photos in, Photoshop did all the stitching. Took almost no time.

Friday Cat Blogging: Midsummer Edition

The boys love summer afternoons, because we get so much more direct sunlight in the living room this time of year.

Can’t believe it’s already August. Where is the time going?
