I found out earlier this week that One Kings Lane wished to bring me back for another of their famous sales events – which is live NOW and ends Sunday December 10.  They are featuring three of my photographs including the  Venezuelan Village print HERE, Saris, India print HERE, and my Surf Beetle, Hawaii print [...]

Point And Shoot My wife and I had just walked back to our cabin at the Hui when I saw the gecko on the window. It was perched on the outside of the window glass with a bug over half its size in its mouth. Having tried numerous times to get a good shot of [...]

What is the story? Many people ask me how many good photographs I get when I go out shooting.  Back in the film days this question was framed ‘Jonathan, how many good photos do you get per roll of 36 images?’ Now, with the 36 image roll of film irrelevant, they simply reframe the question to [...]

Perhaps it is because I am the youngest sibling in my family, or perhaps it was a habit developed later in life – but I must confess that I like to compete and I like to win. I thrive under pressure. It clarifies my mind better than any cup of coffee could by eliminating the [...]

It was a beautiful spring day hiking with my bride-to-be  (although I didn’t know that at the time), on Eagle Creek trail outside of Portland, Oregon.  Moments after I snapped this frame a giant dead tree careened over the falls and almost took out my future wife!  Fortunately the fates had a different plan for [...]

  What are Star Trails? Simply stated, star trails are the streaks in a photograph left by stars during a time exposure as the Earth rotates.  Objects in the foreground of the photograph remain sharp as they are not moving relative to the camera, while the stars, depending on which cardinal direction the camera is [...]

THE PROBLEM I recently ran into a rather big problem in the iOS world.  I completely filled up my phones 32 gigs of memory with photos, and realized to late that it is not terribly efficient to delete them manually on the phone.  I have had my iphone for a couple years and have always [...]
