Before Their Time?
Daily Photo – Before Their Time?
Been thinking back to Google Glass, which was pretty cool, and wondering if it was one of those things that was just the right product at the wrong time… or was it more that we needed products like that to kickstart things and get us to where we need to be by paving the way for others…

The Endless Skies
Daily Photo – The Endless Skies
I captured this on the last day of a Disney cruise a bunch of years ago. I’d taken to getting up early each day to capture the sunrise and this was one occasion it really paid off!

The Earthly Lines
Daily Photo – The Earthly Lines
The waters went suddenly calm all around the ship and the sky stretched out forever. I had just seen a pod of whales and we were weaving around new areas of the fjords. I knew I was in Alaska then!

The Lady of the Sands
Daily Photo – The Lady of the Sands
Here’s the first photo I took at Burning Man in 2013, I think, and it’s still one of my favorites. It features a sculpture by Marco Cochrane. When the occasional sandstorms come, a lot of people go take cover, but that’s when I go out to take cool photos! It adds all the depth and mystery that is really there, I think.

Exploring Utah
Daily Photo – Exploring Utah
Here’s another one of the images from my 1000 Stories from 1000 Places NFT drop. It sold out in minutes, but they are now available to trade on OpenSea and X2Y2, etc so be sure to check them out.
Utah was the best place for my inner geology nerd to come out to play.
Back at university, I had a double-major in Computer Science and Geophysics. I dropped the latter because I had a fight with the professor. Here’s the story. Note it wasn’t a fist-fight, but I considered it.
I really just chose that subject because I’ve always had an interest in Geology, and I just love rocks. Who knows where that comes from? Is it a childhood trauma thing where my parents threw rocks at me? Perhaps.
Anyhoo, I was in a graduate-level class and I spent a few weeks in the desert near the Grand Canyon to do some nerdy geological mapping. I worked really hard on it, and, being a bit artistic, I had by far the most beautiful. map. So, the professor ended up giving me a C-! I went to him, and I was like WTF bro! This is amazing! And he said because I was the youngest in a class of nine, he gave me the lowest grade because he only gives out one A+, one A, one A- — you get it. I was like, fuck this guy… so I quit out of spite, but it never diminished my love of rocks. It only further diminished my dislike of the university system.

At Night with the NEX
Daily Photo – At Night with the NEX
I was scanning through some of my unpublished (or at least I think unpublished) images and found this one from Burning Man a few years ago. It was captured with the little Sony NEX-6, one of their first mirrorless cameras. Maybe the first? Anyway, didn’t it do a great job of capturing a bunch of dynamic range? Nicely done Sony!
