CFUnited: Off To Washington D.C.

Well, tomorrow morning bright an early I leave for Washington D.C. for a ColdFusion conference at which I'll be speaking on "The Power of CSS". I am excited and nervous all at the same time. Wondering if my presentation will be valuable, sufficient and timely, but excited about things I may learn and all that goes with experience of taking a trip.

I'll be blogging daily about the conference and the trip, posting pictures and musings about the things I experience on a daily basis while I am there.

Today, my wife LeeAnn has been running about trying to get some last minute things together before I leave. I'm going to miss LeeAnn and the kids while I'm gone, but it will work out for good. The kids have already been asking if I was going to bring them back t-shirts like I did last time.

I picked up a new lens for my camera while I am there, which I will blog about shortly, it's an Nikon 18-200mm VR Nikkor lens which gives me great range when I am out exploring D.C. so I am looking forward to getting some great shots with it.

Well, here goes nothin'. Stay tuned for more...

Patterns From Around The House

So earlier tonight I was messing around with my camera and decided to try to take pictures of different patterns that I could find in my room. I found a couple things that turned out half way interesting. A box of crayons, the ironing board cover and LeeAnn's bible cover.

Have a look...

After Dark

Those of you who know me will know that I love photography. I think it is amazing what you can do with a camera in hand. I am not an artist by any stretch but with a camera in hand I can create moments in a unique way.

I love night photography. Taking pictures when the sun goes down. Time exposure photographs that bring out the natural light or really highlight the natural light of the moment.

Here are a few pictures that I took when I was out downtown the other night here in San Antonio.

Got My New Camera!

General, Photography    Comments (0)


After a year without a good camera, and wanting to get one but never having the money to spend on one, I finally got my camera.

I purchased a Nikon D50 with the AF-S DX Zoom-Nikkor 18 - 55mm f/3.5 - 5.6G ED lens which is a great camera/lens combo for someone like me who loves quality pictures but doesn't use the camera on an everyday basis to make a living.

This camera enables me to continue doing any type of freelance photography, and continue to practice photography which is a passion of mine in my spare time, not to mention the great family moments that I will be able to capture forever... My wife loves it!!!

You can read some great reviews about the camera here and here.
