  • Guess Who: SXSW Edition

    Looks like someone caught a pic of me shooting some quick video in last year’s Alcatel-Lucent ElevenAPI Lounge at SXSW (where we hosted the Rovio Angry Birds team).

  • Lights! Camera! Action!

    A short video tour of our team’s booth at Mobile World Congress 2010 in Barcelona. Yours truly shows up to add some witty commentary at the :54 mark.

  • Picture This: I’m a photo contest winner

    About a month ago I came across a post in my RSS reader about an annual photo contest the guys at A Good Beer Blog were running. I’m an amateur photographer and, on a whim, decided to submit a couple of shots I had lying around on my hard drive. And, lo and behold, one of them was chosen as a finalist. My prize: Lew Bryson’s newly-published guide to New Jersey breweries!

    If you like beer, check out the blog. If you like beer and photography, check out the other finalists.

  • Let the Flakes Fly


    What better way to get ready for the flying white stuff than with a few shots of yours truly enjoying the deep and fluffy of Steamboat Springs, Colorado.

  • Must-See Photography: James Nachtwey

    I love photography. I’ve had a couple of images published (many, many years ago). I’ve had some that were good enough to frame and display on the walls of my home. And, despite being an eternal optimist, I know I will never be able to be the photographer James Nachtwey is. His images are haunting and powerful. So powerful is his work, that he was recently awarded a prestigious TED Prize. Well-deserved…and well worth taking time to soak in his photography.

  • Total Eclipse of the…

    I took a quick glance out of the back window of my house at around 7pm last night and caught the last moments of the lunar eclipse. Shot with a Canon 10D, lens extended to 250mm, f4 at just a shade longer than half a second (handheld, lens resting on my arm).

  • A Swell Time

    What you see here is Los Arcos shot from a small skiff during a family trip to Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. It is the very southernmost tip of of the Baja penninsula, where the Pacific Ocean meets the Sea of Cortez and gets its name from the arched rock in the center of the image. You can see the size of the swell by the markings on the rock wall to the right of the picture. What you don’t see just off the left side of the frame is a rock outcropping loaded with about 25 sea lions basking in the sun.

  • The Karaoke Kid

    This is a shot I caught one day during a family vacation at Baltimore’s Inner Harbor. We were at the science museum and my oldest daughter was on stage having some fun with the karaoke machine. I quietly climbed up the back stairs to the balcony of the stage and caught this shot. It was manipulated a bit in Photoshop (added a layer with some blur-multiply, but other than that, nothing else).

  • Anchored in Kauai

    Strapped in and hanging half a cheek out of a small helicopter over the island of Kauai. If you look closely, you can see the coral and sand beneath the sailboat anchored in this cove.
