Well I whistled all the way to the airport excited to know that after a very long run, I will be back in my own bed around midnight!!! Not so quick young man, Delta stepped in and once again shot a hole in my boat! I will not go into just how much I detest Delta here and now, I was reminded by Sherelene at the apex of my anger, that Romans 8:28 has not been repealed!
Romans 8:28 New Living Translation (NLT)
28 And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them.
O.K. sufficiently spanked, and or, reminded!! So I’m going to let it go, (but will never book a flight with Delta again &^%^&%$@#^*&). Now I feel better! Here are some fun shots I made today! Enjoy!
I love shooting with my D800 and Nikkor glass, but every once in a while shooting with the iPhone is good training to make you go back to the basics and think more about composition and less about all the technical issues! I don’t agree with people that say the iPhone and other camera phones are a threat to the point and shoot market. I think anything that creates interest in photography, creates interest in all kinds of cameras. I can only judge from my own experience, but for me I still rely on a DSLR for my serious work, a high end, point and shoot type camera, for serious travel work when I don’t want to deal with a bag of lenses, and I always have my iPhone with me, and feel it can be used to make “real” photographs! It makes no sense to think that photographers are going to abandon any of the categories we enjoy now!
I find it liberating to think that I can be a photographers no matter which imaging device I use! All of these images are with the iPhone and the HDRs with Simply HDR app, $2.99!!!! Except for the last.
Try looking at the images as photographs instead of thinking about how they were captured!
Then again shooting with great DSLR with incredible resolution sure is fun!!!! D800, 105 Micro Nikkor!
Good night,

Well another workshop/assignment has ended. At 3:15 a.m. the alarm went off and I was out the door in 30 minutes. Our group did there last shoot at Otter Beach and we finally were rewarded for three straight days of early rising and late night bed times with great light. I can’t express how much I appreciate this group, what wonderful people they are, everyone! I’ve done eight meetings with these folks and they have become far more than Nikon clients, they have become dear friends. I can’t say that I hate anything about my job, there may be an assignment or two that I don’t look forward to, but this is one I really enjoy, and anticipate. That is one of things I will miss someday when I move on to other pursuits.
One of the greatest rewards of a life as photographer has been the great people it has led me to. I’m thankful this morning for all the joy and memories they have provided!
Father, watch over my friends and associates, my family, and brothers and sisters in You! Thank you for this wonderful gift!
