A bit late, but here’s my entry for the latest Photo Friday. This week’s subject was “Patterns”.

My latest PhotoFriday entry is up. This week’s theme was “radiance”.

A new Photo Friday, with the theme of “Statement”.

Linking to it from the main page because I’m hacking the crap out of photostack right now to get the thumbnail creation working, and styling the way I like.

Burningbird’s recent outline of her photo workflow has got me back to thinking about a problem for which I don’t know of any ready-made solution.

Have your heard of any way to version photos? I’m looking for a way to separate versions of the original image and subsequent modified versions and still keep them associated to one another.

I could save cvs binary versions, but that’s cumbersome. Even a naming scheme can help. The fact is that none of these things really are integrated into any photo management software that I’ve used. I’m looking for something to manage the library as a whole, and makes cloning of metadata easy. The only software that I know of that does things like this are digital library repositories, which are a bit cumbersome for something specific like photography.

One of the reasons posts were sparse last month was I was vacationing in California for a couple days and then driving across the country, and moving my lovely girl here to Michigan. The dust has settled, and I’ve caught my breath, so here’s the best of the photos from our cross country trip.

There would have been more, but we did a vast majority of the trip at night. Sadly, I must report that the camera battery died as we drove through the most gorgeous part of the trip, Utah. Imagine the beauty of red-rocks in Arizona and multiply them by infinity.

A belated congratulations are in order to Shawn and Bev for their new marriage. It was great to be there, and especially to have the honor of helping your big day go smoothly. Hopefully, you didn’t hear anyone complain about their seating arrangements.

Those of you who’re interested can check out some pre-ceremony and reception photos.

This past weekend I was lucky enough to get together with my buddies Nate and Freiman for camping. We jumped into a Jeep and drove 560 miles up to Eagle Harbor, Michigan to relax on Lake Medora and see the surrounding marvels of Lake Superior. Instead of giving you boring details that can’t come close to how the weekend was, I’ll let the pictures do the talking.

A new PhotoFriday, a little later than usual, but I think it’s worth it.

I had so much trouble photographing this because getting everything in focus with the tiny lens on my camera was a chore. Thankfully, this one turned out.

My first Photo Friday entry. This week’s subject was “ocean”.
