This is so true. Except now this routine has been replaced by my iPhone.

More Old School Photos

Here is another old school photo found while looking through a box of old photos.

It’s my sister Michelle, my friend Nic (whom I’ve known since Kindergarten!) and myself.

This photo was taken in the spring of 1989. Nic and I were 7 and Michelle was 5. So crazy.

Michelle, Nic and Dave

Too Legit!

Yes!

I wake up to find an email in my inbox that says MC Hammer is now following me on Twitter!

Photos of Axl Dog

I was browsing through my iPhoto library and found these ridiculously cute and old photos of our dog Axl back in 2001. He was still a tiny little puppy! Apparently, he was a runty little newfoundland that grew up into our monster of a dog (though still small compared to normal “newfie” standards).

Fantastic Photos of the Sun

This has been making the rounds on a few websites, but Boston.com has a bunch of fantastic and amazing photos of the Sun. Check it out!

How big is it?

Just how big is the lens I rented today?

What a Big Lens You Have!

Now I can finally do that paparazzi gig that Wired magazine was talking about

Fleet Week and the Blue Angels in San Francisco

It’s the beginning of the annual Fleet Week festivities here in San Francisco. That means all sorts of noise as aircraft of all types scream through our fair city over the next few days. Among the things I’m most excited for is the Blue Angels. They did a practice show today (and yesterday) and I went down to the bay to take photos.

To facilitate some good photographic opportunities, I rented a Nikon 80-200mm f2.8 lens and a 2X tele-converter.

To see all the photos I’ve taken for the 2008 Fleet Week, check out this link.
