The other day, during one of my work-break trips up the stairs, I walked into Ann’s office and once again saw an image on her computer that triggered my photographic brain and one of my owns image I’ve been thinking about lately. Come over to the site and take a look at the images I’m talking about.

It was quite the unexpected birthday present, getting stuck in the arm, but I couldn’t have asked for a better one. It, of course, happened in grand Portuguese fashion. Come over to the site to find out the full story behind round one for Ann and me.

Despite the fact that it was pouring down rain, Ann and I went out for a drive and some photography on Mother’s Day. While the full story and accompanying images will have to wait, come join us for a taste of Ann’s day.

Last Friday the Portuguese government ended the state of emergency a couple of days early so people could enjoy the weekend (and also so the restaurants, stores and hotels could benefit from an extra weekend of near-normal activity). Click into the blog to find out what Ann and I did to take advantage of our new found freedom.

When it rains it pours. Guess what Ann noticed the other day when she was culling through her images? Another shooting the shooter image, except this time my presence was not so obvious.

Sometimes there are strange convergences of events, and that’s the story behind this edition of Shooting the Shooter.

The title of the post says it all. Join us to find out what I decided to mess with after completing the Zanzibar Portfolio.

I made time to print the remaining images from the Stone Town portfolio last weekend. Come over to the blog site to find out how it went.

You must be asking yourself, “Is this deja vu all over again or what?” Well, it is and it isn’t. Join us on the site to find out.

While printing the first of the Stone Town images I started thinking about the steps I went through to bring the image to its final form. That got me thinking that I should do another post on Developing the Image. Come join me for an image-intensive walk-through of the process I went through to develop the image of the man looking down the alley.

Ann and I have been dying to get out photographing, but Portugal has just let us know we’ll need to wait another few weeks before that might be possible. So in the meantime, we’ve turned our eyes to subjects on our daily walks and I finally found one that was worth pulling out the camera for. Join us to find out what thoughts it brought to mind.

I’ve dropped a few hints lately about various projects I’m working on (yes, projects plural) and I’ve finally gotten around to pushing one towards completion. Join the website to find out about the making of my first printed folio from digital images . . . well the beginning of it at least.

Ann’s been busy with the arduous task of culling through her old catalogs Check in to see what she came across for one of our shooting the shooter images.

We had our fifth and, unfortunately, last Thinking Photography workshop with Charlie Waite last week. Join us on a post about that session’s topic - trees.

This is another post based upon the on-line workshop Ann and I are taking. Come join us to see what I thought of one of the points raised in our most recent session.
