Disabling "reply"
I’m thinking I’m going to disable “reply” on the blog, simply because if someone comments, I like to be able to reply back to them. I think Disqus is a pretty nice system for comments, so I hope that you all will still use that, as I want to have interaction on the blog, but I find myself often frustrated that I can’t reply to a “reply”. Let me know if you...

Focused attention
It amazes me sometimes what things show up in my photos that I had no idea were there when I was taking them - sometimes as extreme as a big branch across the photo, or a street sign partly in front of what I was photographing - that I simply didn’t see when I was taking the shot, because my focus was on whatever I was focusing on :)
It’s pretty interesting how our focus can be so...

While she may not think me posting photos of her on the internet is all that romantic, I think she’s absolutely gorgeous, and I can’t say how glad I am that she’s my wife (for many, many reasons). I look forward to the rest of my life, knowing it will be with her.

Photographing Strangers
While I was with Nathan in Vancouver, we were talking about how we are kind of shy of taking photos of people on the street as they’re passing by, so I decided to challenge myself a little bit while I was there and actually do it a bit more. A number of the shots didn’t really turn out the way I wanted, and I realized it can be hard getting the focus on the right person(s) while...
