This post is in rough draft status.***************************   Staying in Indramayu, Indonesia for a month left me with a lot of time on my hands.   I tried to smoke my time away with cigarettes, both regular and clove.  I actually quit for good on this trip but that’s another story.  I spent a lot of time wandering round meeting the community and taking pictures.  As you could imagine, they weren’t sure what to...

This lens is a special lens, renowned by photographers for its sharpness, speed, and clarity.  The Nikon AF-S VR Micro Nikkor 105mm f2.8G IF-ED lens gives you a fair working distance of 6 – 8 inches while shooting at 1:1 macro.  I’ve decided to steer my income from photo gigs into lenses so this will be my bugs/flowers/small products lens.  Great lenses hold their value over time, so it really is a no brainer if you can...

I’ve been taking the photos for the Huntington Chamber of Commerce’s Fall Festival for 3 years now, and every year it amazes me how many people come to see the festivities.  Thousands flocked to Huntington to be a part of the day, whether it was to do some shopping with the vendors, go on rides, eat, or just be entertained by the many bands.  I’d have to say it was a great weekend.  Of course, it is a hard and long...

I left the house to see if any stores were open around 1 PM today (August 28th, 2011) and to see what damage there was in my neighborhood. Going out, there were no working traffic lights and the roads were littered with branches and leaves. In some areas, large trees were uprooted and haphazardly strewn about like toothpicks. I took a few pictures form my Droid X of some of the trees. It is going to take a while to clean Long Island...
