iOTW: Village Whispers, a series, part deaux

July 6, 2008

Our little light made a quick stop by the interior patio, where my sister Pam was preparing dinner. Cassava and groundnut soup if I remember correctly.

iOTW: Village Whispers, a series

July 5, 2008

This week’s iOTW comes to you courtesy of village life. I went to spend a couple of days of R&R (hah!) in the village with dear ‘ol mum. I think I’ll start a series of these. I have yet to go to the village house and not come back awed by yet another fabulous image(s). [...]

iOTW: A New Perspective

June 23, 2008

At a cruising altitude of 30,000 ft, the world tends to look small… more precisely one tends to realize how small one really are. Case in point, see the moon up there? You would think that it gets bigger the closer to it you are, and yet it still looked like it was a dust [...]

Blogging from Kigali, Rwanda later this week

June 23, 2008

I will be blogging from the East African Community Investment Conference in Kigali, Rwanda. Yes, the same Rwanda. In a testament to how bad news really sticks around longer than good news, a client of mine freaked out when they heard I was going through Rwanda this week. Due to the nature of my job(s?), [...]

Have 5D will travel

June 22, 2008

So I finally made the jump to the current model 5D since Canon is taking their sweet time updating this puppy. Having used it over the last month for a six-city heavy duty photo project, I can’t really fault them for waiting to upgrade. There’s little to complain about… well, save for the lack of [...]

Why must love betray us all?

June 22, 2008

I didn’t really have anything deep or fascinating that would give insight into that. I thought I would share it since it’s been swimming around the empty chambers of my heart lately. I feel hollow.

iOTW: No-Flash Photography

June 11, 2008

This week’s iOTW images are brought to you by Other People’s Kid’s (OPK) and some creative uses of available light sources. Kids by nature are an endless source of creative inspiration when it comes to photography. Some are naturally prone to be hams in front of the camera. While others tend to run and hide. [...]

iOTW: iPhonography at 30,000 feet

May 28, 2008

This past month I’ve been flying around doing my best impression of my buddy David Sasaki, except without the linguistic ability. My first in-flight self-portrait was way back in 2001. I was gliding 30,000 above Morocco. I snapped this self-portrait and thought it was the coolest lighting. I got an inkling to take some shots [...]

Living the Rockstar Photographer Lifestyle

May 27, 2008

I am in DC today. That’s Washington, D.C., home of mad politics, crazy taxi drivers and confusing addresses. I am going for a work out. I’ll post some interesting images for iOTW tomorrow that I took in-flight. It’s been a while since I added any images to the iPhotography catalog of images… See you tomorrow. [...]

Please excuse the mess!

April 19, 2008

I messed with the template to try to get it back to normal. As you can see, it’s a long way from resolved. I will be slowly restoring back. I suppose in that process, I’ll figure out what went wrong in first place. So real sorry for the schizophrenic appearance of the site right now. [...]

When CSS goes wrong…. way wrong

April 16, 2008

I have no idea what happened here. I am just as confused as you are. So I woke up yesterday to find my blog had gone screwy and the site was completely inaccessible. I couldn’t even go into the back end to figure out what went wrong. A quick call to my web host confirmed [...]

iOTW: Testing HDR, sort of…

April 13, 2008

This week’s image of the week is not really one of my best. So why post it you say? Well, actually I have been itching to do some HDR images, but I was sorely disappointed to find out the Apple’s Aperture does not support HDR stitching. Yet. You have to do the dirty-work in Photoshop. [...]

iOTW: Portrait of a man in a window

March 28, 2008

You see it immediately. The pride. It closes the empty space between you and envelopes the air in a tight grip of familiarity. You can’t escape the urge to look into his eyes. Go ahead. He’s waiting to greet you. He spent a minute polishing his only pair of black shoes with a worn out [...]

Gadget Lust: Canon’s 5D Mark II

March 28, 2008

OK, come on! Seriously? Canon? This is too much to take. Not one week after settling to bypass the 40D in my upgrade path for the 5D, the rumor mill (otherwise known as the truth-wielding world-wide web) is a-buzz with Canon’s supposed replacement for it’s aging 5D shooter. This of course, freezes my wallet firmly [...]

Gadget Lust: Canon’s EF 28-300mm f/3.5-5.6L IS USM

March 28, 2008

Meeeeeeeeeeaaaaow! If ever there was such a thing as lens lust I am all manner of guilty. Check out my newest obsession! Right in line with plans for investing in some heavy duty lenses. This baby is all manner of sexy. Plus the added benefit of rolling all my favorite features (almost) into one lens: [...]

Am I antisocial?

March 27, 2008

Back in the day, when I was a full time athlete, I would look forward to relaxing in front of the TV after an exhaustive morning training session to yet another episode of The Screen Savers. It was during one of these episodes that I first heard the term “social networking site” or SNS for [...]

image of the Week: “Shower”

March 19, 2008

Every time I look at this image, it throws me back to the day that I took it. Mid-afternoon, the warm tropical sun had yet to be seen that day. I had been in a trance all morning, listening to the tropical rain having a conversation with the sidewalk. She walked in, drenched from head [...]

Run Teddy Run…

March 16, 2008

I could smell it in the crisp morning air. The scent wafting freely, tickling my nostrils and sending the butterflies into a frenzy, the last remaining evidence that someone had fired a gun. I stood motionless, looking at the man with the bright orange protective sleeve wrapped halfway up his forearm. He lowered the gun [...]

What’s this? A Booking?

March 11, 2008

Well, well, just as I was about to retire my acting chops, I get news exactly one day after an audition that I have been selected to be an extra in a commercial shoot. Nothing major, just another opportunity to spend 8 to 12 hours on a film set in hopes that the world will [...]

Image of the Week

March 5, 2008

This week’s iOTW is a personal favorite of mine. This is Mzee Kasiigwa. I first shot him in 1999. He is a personal friend of my mother and he treats me like his long-lost son every time that I go visit him. He sings songs of joy, tells stories for hours, often forgetting what he [...]

Weird Norway… Part deux

February 28, 2008

It’s 5 am here in Dallas and I’ve been up for about an hour. Gotta love jet lag. I thought I would polish up on my earlier post about Weird Norway. I was corrected in the comments by my Oslo buddy, John Larsen and I also thought of a couple of additional facts of interest. [...]

Weird Norway…

February 27, 2008

It’s just about 9:30 am in Amsterdam, and I just finished a quick breakfast and I am waiting for my flight to Detroit in about three hours. I was going to do some research on the internet for a Project Diaspora article I am working on, when I realized that I don’t really have enough [...]

Wednesday Image of the Week…

February 26, 2008

This week’s IoTW is coming in a day early because I will be flying most of tomorrow. I took this shot this past weekend while participating in Oslo’s crazy night life. It’s kind of moody, verbose, and mysterious at the same time. It’s not something you can capture in one shot. I’d really need several [...]
