The Meat is in the Maintenance
With another week come to a close, I got a late start in recording and putting together the podcast for today, so it’s going up a tad late. However, as the old saying goes, good things come to those who wait. This week, I look at some of the photo news, relevant to Canon users, photographers, and just some good old news tidbits. In the “meat and potatoes”of the week, I look at what should be included in an extensive maintenance schedule for any photographer, including cleaning, software, firmware, batteries, data, backups – literally the whole schmear! It’s quite the … Continue reading
The Backstory of the Bridge
With what was probably a pretty evident “no-blog” Wednesday yesterday, and what appears to be a no-show for the Thursday Thoughts series this week, I decided to promote the Backstory for next week and share that with the reading audience today. What makes this particular image unique is that this was taken in my pre-SLR era. Just prior to entering the SLR market, I had a point and shoot Olympus and while it took pictures, the shutter speed wasn’t as responsive as I was looking for. Nevertheless, it went with me pretty much everywhere. My nephews were in town for … Continue reading
iTunes Tuesday
So, for the feeders that are picking up the podcast from iTunes – I want to apologize. Apparently there is something that is “not right” with the iTunes feed. Apple has been very helpful with this (sense the sarcasm here).

Such is life, and as the attention of my life waxes and wanes in other areas, so too will the quantity of posts here at CB (I really … Continue reading
A Dose of Inspiration
For those that are keeping up via feed reader, you may have noticed some Flickr additions over the weekend. As the “What’s This?” arc came to completion, I thought it might be fun to compile all the images into their own dedicated set on Flickr for everyone to enjoy. As it turned out, I had not been keeping up with cross-posting images there as much as I had thought, so it took several visits back and forth between the site files and Flickr to get everything together. The Flickr images show up as their own feed posts, so there were … Continue reading
The Show Must Go On…
While the folks at Personal Life Media continue to work behind the scenes at getting the show re-branded, I’ve been encouraged to keep producing podcasts so, this week, the podcast returns. I have a couple fun segments including a more detailed back story from The Boneyard Beach post earlier this week, the Think Tank Photo Review, and some blog/podcast housekeeping including the inside scoop on how you can win the Streetwalker bag I reviewed! Be sure to get this week’s episode so you know what to do. The bag is valued at $140!!! As you may have noticed if you’re … Continue reading
