Video Editing aka the great time suck...

Those of you who know me, know that I coach my kids sports. This past baseball season I had two GREAT parents that offered to photo and video the action during the games. This is great since while I’m coaching, I don’t get to take any photos of my kids. By the end of the season we had 1000+ photos and about an hour of 1080p HD video. My goal was to chop this down to a 15~20 minutes and create DVD’s for each...

new blackberry thingie...

So I got a new blackberry tour at work and started playing around with it. Nice to have a camera, my old one was lacking one. I got it connected to facebook, twitter and...

Day off…....

J at about 4 years old. I think we had the day off and went down to the California Science Center in Los Angeles. This was taken during the trip going to since I’m sure she was sound asleep on the way...

Mom and Dad...

Since my mom passed away last May, me and my two brothers have been scanning all of her family photos. We’ve come across some photos that we didn’t know even existed. This is a photo of Mom and Dad at the Seven Seas nightclub in Hollywood. I’d have to guess that it is during the early 1950′s. They would work all day, Mom was a nurse and Dad was a mechanic at McDonald Douglas Aircraft, and then go out...

Downtown Rush Hour...

I was standing on the bridge in Downtown Los Angeles at 5th and Figueroa just after sunrise. This is a composite of three bracketed images that I processed in Photomatics. Though not perfect (I’m still learning to learn photography), I thought it came out...

Nextdoor Sunset...

Shot across the street of my neighbors house around sunset time. I didn’t do much with the colors, just cropped and darkened it a bit. It was too bad that the car was parked in front of the house else it would have been a much better...

Ventura Power Station...

While on vacation in Ventura Ca. in 09′ I wen’t on a bit of an excursion one night. About a mile or two from where we were staying was this power plant right next to the coast. I must have snapped 200 shots using different settings and whatnot. This was the result of 3 images merged and the colors tweaked a...
