Specialization is for Insects.
When I was in San Francisco for WordCamp this weekend Dave Curley and I went across the street from our hotel and snapped a few photos of the Bay Bridge. Thought I’d share a couple new ones to go along with the ones I posted previously. I hope you enjoy! This first image was taken [...]
This evening between intermittent rain and drizzle I walked around and managed to take a few photos in the area around the Hyatt Regency, where I’m staying, which is on the Embarcadero down by the Bay Bridge. In fact, Pier 14 is a fantastic place to walk out on the water and take photos of [...]
Months ago when flying into San Francisco, our plane was diverted into a holding pattern a little ways outside the airport due to traffic, and as I watched from the window I noticed that we were circling some sort of massive pools of colored water. They were so vibrant in color that I was amazed, [...]
A few weeks ago when I was flying into San Francisco for WordCamp I whipped out my camera and took some photos while we were on the landing approach. Some of these were very interesting, so I figured I would post them considering that WordPress’ gallery function makes it so easy now. Hope you enjoy!
Here are a few photos I took of the Golden Gate Bridge on my last trip to San Francisco. I’ve actually got more cool shots of it, but I’ll have to upload them later when I get a chance. Until then, I hope you enjoy this little gallery.
I know that a lot of you may be bloggers, but might be unfamiliar with WordPress. Perhaps you’ve considered migrating your blog over from another platform, but aren’t really sure how to go about it. Well, this next presentation is just for you. Lloyd Budd gave a presentation to illustrate the finer points of switching [...]
Ben Huh, the proprietor of I can haz cheezeburger and other popular sites gives a lecture at WordCamp San Francisco on the Secret of Virality. I got most of the slides in the video, but if you want to download and read along, you can get the slides here. Ben’s lecture talks about how you [...]
The last speaker at WordCamp San Francisco 2008 was Kathy Sierra, and her presentation was definitely worth the wait. She spoke about “Kicking Ass and Creating Passionate Users”, and I must say that her presentation was itself “kick ass”. If you don’t know Kathy, she is the co-creator of the Head First series of books [...]
And now the moment you’ve all been waiting for. I’ve slowly but surely been editing, exporting and uploading the WordCamp 2008 San Francisco videos, and I managed to get Matt Mullenweg’s State of the Word presentation up last night. The video turned out pretty good (except for one little 30 second spot in the middle [...]
The Fountains of Bellagio in High Definition
As a follow up to yesterday’s post with photos from Las Vegas, here is a video that I shot of the fountains outside the Bellagio with the same camera, the Canon 5D Mark II using the Canon 15mm Fisheye lens.
I’ve never seen anyone else shoot the fountains with a fisheye, but it works out well...
A Visit to the Boudin Bakery in San Francisco
Today I went down to the Boudin Bakery on Fisherman’s Wharf in San Francisco to get some fresh baked sourdough and some of their delicious clam chowder.
When I arrived, there was a group of people huddled around the window where they are usually making the bread. Only this time, a nice young lady was...
Animoto – The Photo and Video Mashup Service
Howdy folks! Here is a little video we shot at South by Southwest last week with the folks from Animoto. It’s a neat little service that I think you will enjoy…
To give you the rundown on how it works, basically you just create an account on Animoto.com and then upload photos and video...
Sights and Sounds of Freemont Street in Las Vegas, Nevada
Whenever I go down to Freemont Street in Las Vegas I’m always surprised again by just how different it is from The Strip, and how cool, cheap and fun it is!
Freemont Street is basically an outdoor, covered mall connecting about 10 older casinos plus a bunch of shops and restaurants. Of course, the main...
