Are you a llama lover? You are? You're in luck! My local camera club took an outing the other weekend to a llama farm out in the middle of nowhere. Some of you may know that I have a thing for llamas. And that thing is that I think...

Are you huge fan of family reunions on my mom's side of the family that take place in rural Oklahoma? You are? Have I got a treat for you! I've put up a bunch of pictures on my Flickr photostream from just such an event. You have two convenient...

The other week I flew out to San Francisco, California to attend the annual SIOP conference. Geralyn wisely decided that this was a prime opportunity for us to engage in some kid-free vacationing, so we made arrangements for per parents and cousin to watch the girls and she flew out...

Note: This is book 3 of 52 in my 52 Books in 52 Weeks challenge. Scott Kelby's 7-Point System for Adobe Photoshop CS3 Featuring Scott Kelby by Scott Kelby with a special introduction by Scott Kelby is kind of what you'd expect based on a quick thumb-through. The author,...

I recently joined a local camera club to try and get out to meet people who are also interested in photography and spending money on photography and photography related things. The club in my area is actually huge --one of the biggest in the country, in fact-- and they...

August 22, 2007
So, there's no photo of the week this week. It's not because I don't have anything to post, in fact I've been sitting on a surplus of (relatively) presentable shots for a few weeks now. I've also had this thought rattling around in the back of my head to start...

August 15, 2007
This week's photo was done for an assignment with the theme "Red" but I actually had the idea a while ago and retrieved it from my little photo idea notebook. The penguins came from a Clearance bin at Target at 65 cents each and I took the picture in...

August 8, 2007
This week I'm doing a couple of things differently with the PotW. First, it's a set of photos on the same subject: a derelict old gas pump that's abandoned out in the middle of nowhere. I don't normally go in for the "rusty junk that's just sitting around" kind...

August 1, 2007
For this week's PotW I'm featuring the image above, which I did for The Digital Photography School's weekly assignment. The theme this week was "Transportation." I'm going to try to do these things every week just to keep myself shooting. But wait. There's more. When I saw the theme...

Have you ever been curious as to what's in my camera bag? No? Well, I've already got it all typed up so I'll go ahead and tell you anyway. Wireless camera remote Canon EF 70-300mm f/4-5.6 IS USM lens Flash diffuser (the white rectangular thing) and hood for the...

July 25, 2007
I'm bending my "No kids in the PotW" rule a bit here, but the idea for this picture came to me while browsing through The Sam's Story and Parenting archives. This is, unfortunately, how a lot of our family has to experience their grandkids/nieces/whatevers most of the time. But...

July 18, 2007
This one is another result of a stretch assignment where I wanted to start with an idea and try to clearly communicate it through a picture. I've started carrying around a little notebook in which I jot down ideas for pictures as they occur to me, and this is...

Sunset over "The Farm," Ger's family's place out in the middle of nowhere. I like the colors on this one. See the rest of my Flickr photostream....

Hand modeling courtesy of Geralyn. See also: the testing puzzle. Putting together a small portfolio of potential stock images for sale has been on my list of things to do for a while. I should really do that, and maybe this could be one of them....

We actually don't have a name for this guy, which is kind of strange. See the rest of my Flickr Photostream....

You'll probably want to click on that teeny tiny thumbnail to see the full picture on this one. And make sure you scroll across horizontally unless you've got a HUUUUGE monitor. It's not an interesting or otherwise good shot, but I wanted to play around with making a panorama...

May 15, 2007
This one was kind of fun. In case you don't recognize what that is, it's a standardized "fill in the bubbles with a No. 2 pencil" test. Like the SAT, GRE, or what you may have to take to get some jobs. I created it mainly as a test...

I like the curves and colors here. It's a bar at the hotel I was staying at in New York. See the rest of my Flickr photo stream....

May 3, 2007
Last weekend I journeyed to New York City for the 23rd annual SIOP convention. This was somewhat a big deal, since I hadn't been to New York since I was like four, and a subsequent life's worth of Dirty Harry and Curt Russle movies had convinced me that I would...

May 2, 2007
A shot of the Empire State Building from the observation deck at the top of Rockafeller Plaza in New York City. I was there recently for a convention and got quite a few pictures, some of which I'll post in the near future. You can't see it in this...

Setting up for a quick game of miniature golf using the set that Sam got in her last shopping spree. Golf has never been so pastel and girly. See the rest of my Flickr photo stream....

April 18, 2007
I'm actually not very happy with the way this turned out. The lights were too strong and blew out the highlights on the tops of the hearts. I should try it again without the two billion watt fluorescent lights. On the other hand, the new bulbs I used were...

I'd never call myself a great photographer of children or anything else --look here or here for examples of what I consider superlative child photography-- but I can definitely say that I'm better than I used to be. I mean, compare these pictures of Samantha: Or these: A note about...

This is my first annual memorial breakfast for someone I miss very much. It's what he ate for breakfast every single morning for years and years. It is my fondest hope that Sammy and Mandy will some day honor me by breakfasting on donuts and Diet Coke....

I took Samantha to a train museum over the weekend, as you may have noticed. The exhibits --big, rusty old trains made out of solid metal-- gave me a chance to photograph some neat textures that I don't get to see in my normal daily life. See the rest...

Nothing special about this one, I just liked the lighting. See the rest of my Flickr photostream. ...

December 20, 2006
I thought I'd break my rule about no baby pictures in the Photo of the Week so that I could make the last three posts a trifecta about Mandy. Besides, I really like this one, even with my mug in there. The picture was taken by Geralyn, who also...

December 13, 2006
I'm reaching back into the past for this one, mainly because I've had it sitting around for so long waiting to be used. It was actually taken at the San Diego Zoo when we lived there. Er, San Diego, not the zoo. I remember that these birds, which would...

December 10, 2006
After tooling around Flickr and various photoblogs, I've come to a realization that most people probably think is obvious: making a really great photo takes not just good gear and knowing how to use it, but also some knowledge and skill in the digital darkroom. Digital post processing in programs...

December 6, 2006
A double shot this week: The first shot is from a bond fire we had out at the Farm this Thanksgiving. Much of the fuel for this flame was fallen pine tree branches. This is the same kind of branch shown in the second picture, which was taken in my...

November 29, 2006
This is my favorite shot from my $10 do it yourself light box experiment I wrote about yesterday. These are, of course, Sam's blocks. I played around with several words trying to come up with something witty and ironic, but in the end this seemed the most appropriate. See...

November 28, 2006
While most of my photography consists of squatting in front of a two year old and shouting "Sammy! Look at Daddy! Sammy! Sammy! Sammy! Sammy!" I do enjoy trying to stretch myself every now and again. Studio photography intimidates the heck out of me, though. I read a number of...

November 22, 2006
You see, this picture is supposed to be kind of out of focus. Because of the steam. Yeah, that's it. It's a shot of one of the conductors on a miniature railroad that we went to a few weeks ago. The steam powered trains were actually really cool --completely...

November 21, 2006
A couple of weeks ago was Veteran's Day, for which I got a Friday off from work. Geralyn and Sam were going to some Mom's group gathering, though, so I was faced with the prospect of the whole morning and most of the afternoon to myself. What I really wanted...

November 15, 2006
I was at the park taking pictures of Sam last weekend when this trio of skateboarding kids started begging me to get shots of them doing tricks. Normally I'm very reluctant to take pictures of strangers' kids (even teenage ones like these), but I couldn't pass up the chance...

November 14, 2006
Much to my surprise, I am now a prize winning photographer. Well, sorta, if you go by the most generous interpretation of that phrase. A few weeks ago Geralyn spotted a photo contest in one of those free magazines --you know, the kind that you often find in the waiting...

November 8, 2006
Playing around with my new remote control for my camera. This trick is pretty easy to do: Put camera on tripod and don't touch it Turn off autofocus, select a smaller aperture (higher f-stop number), and manually focus on something about 1/3 of the way into the scene. This...

Many books on photography mention some variant of the mantra "Look up, look down, look back" in regards to keeping an eye out for shots. Here's one where it paid off during a recent trip to the local botanical gardens. I like little details like this. See the rest...

The other day Geralyn helped me celebrate my birthday by dropping Samantha off at the grandparents' house and taking me to the local botanical gardens to engage in some relaxation and photography. That was cool enough, but to make things even better there was a traveling exhibit by some guy...

October 11, 2006
Sometimes I gotta remember to take pictures of the other beautiful girl in my life. Geralyn and I dropped Samantha off at her grandparents' house last Saturday and spent a good chunk of the day taking pictures at the local botanical gardens where many of the trees were changing...

October 4, 2006
Suddenly a giant squid bursts into the room! Actually, this was a big hanging display at the zoo. To create this pic, I took a normally exposed shot, then did the following in Photoshop: Created a duplicate layer and selected the top layer Selected Filter -> Blur -> Motion...

October 3, 2006
So, after talking about it for nearly a year, I finally added a telephoto lens to my camera playset. This one, the EF 70-300mm f/4-5.6 IS USM. The longest focal length I had on my other lenses was 110mm, and that really wasn't enough to let me shoot right up...

September 27, 2006
Actually, this wagon wheel was featured a while back in a previous PotW. I didn't really like that shot, so I went back and took this one. It's amazing what a slight change in angle and, um, a tripod can do. This one is sharper and has a much...

September 22, 2006
I'm trying to kick this photography thing up a notch, so to speak. Or perhaps I should say kick it up an f-stop. Har har! Nerd photography humor! I kill me. At any rate, while poking around Flickr and other photoblogs like my friend Todd's website, I keep noticing how...

The complete title here is actually Rick Sammon's Complete Guide to Digital Photography: 107 Lessons on Taking, Making, Editing, Storing, Printing, and Sharing Better Digital Images, and the book pretty much delivers on that. It covers an impressive breadth of material related to digital photography --everything from buying a...

A duckie, a fountain, and a swimming pool. I'm starting to notice that most of my favorite pics, either mine or from others, all have simple compositions. See the rest of my Flickr photostream....

People often say to me, "Jamie, we'd like to see a photograph of you dressed like a child hobo." Okay, fine, here you go: I think --I hope-- that this picture was taken one Halloween, most likely by my mom or dad. I vaguely remember the costume, but I have...

August 19, 2006
I like to count photography among my hobbies (I'd better; I've spent enough on it), but sometimes I have to remind myself to take pictures of something besides Samantha. Sometimes I just like to play around with the camera. Like in these pictures: These are actually little tchotchkes I brought...

This was taken at the San Diego Zoo. For like $25 you could go up for a 10-second ride in a giant balloon. I passed on the ride, but the bright yellow against the brilliant blue sky made a nice contrast. See the rest of my Flickr photostream...

So I'm going to try something new. I have a lot of pictures of things that aren't Samantha, and while there are sometimes enough of them to post a whole gallery, oftentimes it's just a one-off shot that I thought was kind of cool. I used to do a...

April 4, 2006
As I mentioned in Sam's last update, we went to Legoland California last weekend. I took roughly a bajillion pictures, but it was overcast and only some of them came out. They're in the Photos Archive, but I'll post them here, too: ...

January 19, 2006
If there's one thing I love, it's wild animals in captivity. Fortunately, the San Diego Wild Animal park isn't too far away, so we recently took Sam there. I also took the opportunity to borrow a telephoto camera lens from a friend and try it out on subjects while still...

I miss the midwest, I really do. I miss seeing different seasons, I miss the family we have there, and yes I even miss the culture (minus most of the politics). But you know, days like yesterday remind me why San Diego is pretty friggin' nice, too. It's the second...
