I went and spoke to some students at my kids’ high school who are in the year book class and are going to do event photography. So I’ve been thinking quite a bit. Turns out there are a lot of things I wanted to talk about. I was pretty excited about doing this and perhaps […]

Cabaret 2026 at Trinity
I shot most of these with the 70-200 2.8. I used an electronic shutter so I wouldn’t disturb anyone with the constant clicking of the shutter. The shutter speeds were pretty slow (160-ish most of the time). I also played around a bit with some really slow shutter speeds and zooming in and out because […]
Photos from the Road in the Northeast
Normally, I’m photographing things headed down to Alabama. This year with son #2 playing football at Middlebury, we did a lot more driving around Vermont and I was occasionally riding shotgun with enough light to take some pictures. I can’t decide if I’d like to really slow down and take decent pictures or if driving […]
Sports Photography – Middlebury Football Home Game
After shooting mainly soccer for a chunk of time, I’ve had the chance to shoot two of James’s football games. I’m trying to get shots of most of the people and I’m mixing action shots with some shots that are closer to portraiture. Shooting for coverage really slows down editing as I keep far more […]

AI Lightroom and Claude Code Experiment
To see how it’d go, I used Claude Code to see if I could make a Lightroom Classic plugin to auto-tag photos with visible jersey numbers using the Google Gemini API. Adobe uses Lua as a scripting language. It did end up working but it took quite a while and, in general, I feel mostly […]
Photos and screenshots tell stories
This slide tackle is the before. After is the compound fracture below. The ER gave us the x-rays on paper and a Windows-only application on a CD.1 After having to buy an Apple USB-C to USB adapter for my Superdrive to deal with typical Apple nonsense.2 Once I could read the CD, I couldn’t find […]
High School Graduation Photos
I didn’t have any children graduating this year and one of the normal photographers had a last minute knee surgery so the high shcool asked if I could fill in. Given my past experience with shooting in their gym, I decided renting the 85mm f1.2 was a necessity. Also, after having shot with the older […]
Weird Images
I haven’t been doing real photography lately but I’m still capturing images that amuse me. One of these remains at our local Food Lion. I’ve read about people picking them up and doing something with them. I don’t think I could justify it though. What is a poodle shooter? From A Connecticut Yankee in King […]
Photo Mix
I’ve been told you have to focus. Pick a theme. Focus. Sticking with themes is not my strong suit. What browser tabs do you have open? would lead to a rather long and relatively strange answer. I like to go in lots of random directions. They meet up eventually or they don’t. The pictures I […]
Field Hockey Photos
Photographing a sport you’re not familiar with is a challenge. I’ve seen a few field hockey games but most of that was in college and I’ve never played it. I managed to get to two games this year which is many but I’m only one man and no one is paying me.1 Field hockey moves […]
