I had a much needed day away in Houston, TX yesterday with Jason Cohen and Jamie Orillion. We had a couple needs: coffee and camera stuff. We started the day at a great little shop, Catalina Coffee, and ended up at a great local coffee roaster, Java Pura. It was a real pleasure to meet and talk with Ken, master roaster, and really geek out over coffee. Hope you enjoy the images from the trip. Let me know what you think.
Well I decided to hold off on getting a new DSLR and picked up a Canon G9. I have been really impressed with the camera so far and still have tons to learn. One big cinch for me was that the camera provided the ability to hack a new firmware. This opens up other features like HD video, time-lapse photography, and many other features.
Let me know what you think of my first shot. This was on the side of the road on the way to Rayne. It was unbelievably foggy!
Exquisite Carmel Latte
Sometimes a great cup of coffee can make a morning! I stumbled into the office this morning and walked straight to the expresso maker. Jason’s spanking new espresso maker takes some effort, as it is an all manual machine, but it can turn out a shot of espresso that tops anything you can get in town.
A Brand New Christian
Anna and I had the pleasure of going to our dear friend’s son’s baptism on Sunday. They asked me to be the official paparazzi for the event and I gladly obliged. I have learned that I really enjoy looking at the works of the Lord thru a lens. Photography for me is always a chance to see in a frame what I would normally miss with the eye. So here are a few of my favorites from his Baptism.
Last weekend I was asked by my local parish priest to do photography for the Mass celebrating his 20th anniversary of ordination to the priesthood. Fr. Russo is a really powerful preacher and a man who really cares for his flock. I had the pleasure of serving with him in his parish when I was still a seminarian so we have a interesting bond. Here are a few of my favorites from the day.
Support your local priests. As much as people give them flak they offer up their lives in total service to us. 20 years of being present to the people of God is laudable!
This year’s festival was tons of fun! It was beautiful weather and the music was solid. I plan on posting more images later…but here is one of them that shows the chilled out nature of Festival.
Noah Road
I was driving around in the country today looking for a landscape for the upcoming Camera Club meeting and happened up on this scene. Thought is was pretty awesome after the torrential rains we had this weekend that Noah Road flooded! God definitely has a sense of humor.
This video is very moody…but pretty thought provoking. The intro is a bit long but bear through it. Sparks all kinds of questions that we all to often push aside. What really is important in life?
Self portraits are not my favorite! This month’s camera club had an self portrait assignment and it was tons of fun. Most of us where really really big procrastinators…but I was really impressed with everyone’s shots. Let me know what you think! If you want come shoot Jason Cohen an email and he will give yout the details.
