This will probably be my last [Brag] post of 2012, since these are all based on my photographs winning awards at the Berkeley Camera Club, or our parent N4C photography organization. Since I will be in Ecuador for the remainder of the year, I won’t be submitting any more images for competition this year. But […]
[Recommend] Southeast Asia Photo Tour Operator
When we went to Cambodia and Vietnam last October, we hired guides in each area we visited. We hoped to have guides that could show us each area from a photographers point of view.

[Brag] Another Creative Photo Winner
Tonight at the Berkeley Camera Club, we had Creative and Nature category competitions. Creative has always been one of my favorites, while Nature has never really been my strong suit. Tonight’s results followed those strengths. The procedure for competition at our club is to have the photos projected on a screen one at a time, […]

As such, I am no longer King of the Roost, as I was […]
[Brag] Photo wins Best of Show at N4C
I was a bit bummed out last month when a recent favorite image of mine only received Honorable Mention at the Berkeley Camera Club competition. I was only somewhat molified by the fact that I felt our judge that night was not very good (honestly — I had that opinion long before the Masters category […]

[BRAG] Tonight’s Winners at BCC
Tonight was another competition night at the Berkeley Camera Club. This competition allowed us to enter one image in Travel category and two in Journalism.

Moving Adobe Lightroom Images Between Two Computers
Several people have asked me to explain how to move photos from one computer to another when using Lightroom. The process is really quite simple, but there are a few caveats that do need to be understood. First though, why would you want to do this? Well, let me explain my personal travel workflow. When […]
