Usually my posts chronicle an event in the usual way, you know, chronologically. This one, however, is going to start at the end, waiting for a bus ride home.
While my wife and I were standing in line waiting for a bus back to our car,  we noticed a young man drumming away on various found [...]]]></description>

This past weekend I found myself without kids for a few hours one evening while Anne was scrap-booking. I went to a local bar and grill because I&#8217;d heard they had an incredible Italian sub (Of course dear! I went to the bar because they have great subs!). While there, I learned that there would [...]]]></description>

When I submitted three articles to Digital Photography School on shooting Bands in Bars, I expected to get some constructive criticism. I figured people would tell me things like ways to improve angles, or lighting, or better equipment choices.
What really surprised me (probably naively) was the passion people felt about my suggestion that you could [...]]]></description>

This guy was on the front wall of our house a few days ago. I took a number of pictures from the other side, but then walked right past him onto our porch. Despite being way above his weight class, he seemed to want to challenge me as I walked past him. When I set [...]]]></description>

We&#8217;re such bad parents, and our second child feels the brunt of it. Each year, the holidays seem to start with a bang at Thanksgiving with 2-4 feasts within 2 days. Then 2-3 weeks later we&#8217;ll do something for Anne&#8217;s Birthday. Two weeks later is Christmas with at least four celebrations. We generally get together [...]]]></description>

Bands in Bars, Part 1 &#8211; Equipment
A guest post by Music Photographer Rick Bennett.

Some of my favorite photography subjects are musicians while they are performing. They tend to be having fun, they like the attention, and they&#8217;re challenging to capture [...]]]></description>

Shooting Rumberos was probably my most challenging job yet. I had written the three for Digital Photography School (1, 2, 3) but they had not yet been published. As such, I was even more self-aware of my lighting techniques. Fortunately, since the articles weren&#8217;t published, I also hadn&#8217;t read the numerous criticisms I got for [...]]]></description>

When I was a kid, I got in trouble several times for taking stuff apart&#8211;my alarm clock, the coaster brake on my bike, the family microwave (not really). Back then we didn&#8217;t have disposable appliances or consumer electronics. We didn&#8217;t have land fills over flowing with VHS VCRs or curbs littered with 14&#8243; CRTs with [...]]]></description>
