When in doubt build them yourself….. I think many forget how to make things and we just buy things…. Never forget how to make……

I'm loving my new support gear (picked up a Really Right Stuff BH-55 ballhead and TVC-33 tripod legs), but I was in need of a set of spikes for shifty terrain, so instead of paying $100 for the RRS or Gitzo versions, I worked with my future father-in-law to fabricate a custom set of vicious red spikes that would work wonders with my sticks 🙂 I'm calling them Devilkat Spikes by Richardson Industries. #devilkat #tripod #spikes

Well to try to motivate myself to get up and doing something photographic this holiday I have continued to re-edit some shots.. that said models having families and things to do over the holidays is totally inconvenient… Kidding

29 Dec 2013 admin In G+ Posts

So this is a shot of a friend that has been telling me she can whip me into shape.. She is a personal trainer… She said with enough work I could look just like her… I might have to take her up on that, then I can just take selfies and be done with hiring models…. No idea how she maintains her motivation level in the gym and with clients.. more power to her, and I hope in 2014 I can make that motivation happen. Thou you would think having her as a personal trainer would be a motivating factor..

Very cool lists of things for 2014 Originally shared by +Sharon Strandskov I forgot to post this yesterday. Also, I forgot where I saw it–if it was through you, thank you! I don't have the equipment to capture it, but hopefully some of you manage to get great photos from some of these events that you will share here! Before you forget, put some of the really interesting ones on your calendar. The 101 Best Astronomical Events to Watch Out For in 2014As 2013 draws to a close, we once again cast our thoughts to all things astronomical for the coming year. For the last half decade, I’ve been constructing this list of all things astronomical for the following 365 days, lovingly distilling the events transpiring worldwide down to a 101 “best events of the year.” Here are the top picks for 2014!

Best Book Reviews from Amazon: How to Avoid Huge Ships

26 Dec 2013 admin In G+ Posts

Link to reviews: http://goo.gl/i9tZHq Sample: A Parent's ReviewBy Noel D. Hill on February 20, 2011Format: PaperbackAs the father of two teenagers, I found this book invaluable. I'm sure other parents here can empathize when I say I shudder at the thought of the increasing presence of huge ships in the lives my children. I certainly remember the strain I caused so long ago for my own parents when I began experimenting with huge ships. The long inter-continental voyages that kept my mom and dad up all night with worry. Don't even get me started on the international protocols when transporting perishable cargo. To think, I was even younger than my kids are now! huge ships are everywhere and it doesn't help that the tv and movies make huge ships seem glamorous and cool. This book helped me really approach the subject of huge ships with my kids in an honest and non judgmental way. Because of the insights this book provided, I can sleep a little better and cope with the reality that I can't always be there to protect my kids from huge ships, especially as they become adults. I'm confident that my teens, when confronted by a huge […]

ASK A COP? – Failure to yield to an Emergency Vehicle

26 Dec 2013 admin In G+ Posts

Something everyone should know Originally shared by +CopTalk ASK A COP? – Failure to yield to an Emergency Vehicle —–Original Message—–From: katieSent: Thursday, August 29, 2013 7:32 AMTo: info@coptalk.infoSubject: failure to yield to emergency vehicle? If a cop already has someone pulled over on the side of the road, and you swerve around them but don’t go completely into the second lane, is that a considered a failure to yield to an emergency vehicle? I received a ticket last night for this and I don’t feel that I did anything wrong. When the cop was done giving the car he had pulled over a ticket (I’m just guessing he did) he then turned on his lights and I pulled to the side thinking he had to get somewhere. But then I realized he was pulling me over. And gave me a ticket saying I failed to turn completely into the second lane while he was on the side of the road. However I did not fail to yield to him because I swerved around him pulling over the other car, and again pulled off to the side of the road when he pulled me over. Would you agree that I […]
