A long exposure I made of the pier at North Avenue Beach in Chicago. With near-full sun, my 10-stop ND only got me three seconds, but that will do. Settings: ISO 100, f/16, 3.0 s.

What's one to do when you're stuck with a 105mm lens in the city? I don't know. A few things I reckon. Settings: ISO 100, f/8, 1/1250 s.

From our trip up to Chicago last week. Made a visit to the lake while in town. Here's a section of the skyline. Settings: ISO 100, f/8, 1/1000 s.

Our friends at Reasons for Hope just put out this little video on the resurrection of Jesus. It's short, so you have no reason not to watch it. :) Happy Easter!

Rehearsal for my sister's wedding last year. Here's Mr. Mark "the" Baxter doing things. Settings: ISO 1600, f/2.8, 1/400 s.

Heading back to St. Louis last night. Found this little coffee shop (sort of) on the way, so we paid a visit. Nice little outfit. Settings: ISO 160, f/2.2, 1/30 s.

From our visit to the St. Louis Zoo a little while back. Here's a creature. Settings: ISO 100, f/1.8, 1/2500 s.

Made a visit to the archives at Wheaton. Neat little place. Settings: ISO 25, f/2.2, 1/3344 s.

Paid a visit to Lake Michigan while in on assignment in Chicagoland. It has a skyline, I'd say. Settings: ISO 25, f/2.2, 1/3205 s.

Our good friend, Nick, a coffee roaster out in Olympia, plying his trade. Settings: ISO 200, f/2.8, 1/320 s.

A gentleman if there ever was one. Puffing his pipe. Next to a well-bearded man. Settings: ISO 1600, f/4, 1/80 s.

I came across this photo this morning which reminded me of this other photo by @justinmullet. I made this photo up in northern Wisconsin (near Rhineland) last July.

Heading back east last June. I made this photo near exit 205 on east-bound I-80. Lovely bit of desert. Settings: ISO 800, f/4, 1/640 s.

A lone fisherman at Half Moon Bay. Made this photo during our June visit to San Jose last summer. Settings: ISO 50, f/20, 1/10 s.

Another photo I made from Mather Point on the south rim of the Grand Canyon. Made this photo maybe 15 minutes after sunrise. I've said this before, but watching the canyon fill with light is pretty awesome.

From our visit to the Grand Canyon last June. Turns out the canyon is big, grand, and beautiful. That cliff face in the foreground is being lite by the moon (this photo was made some time before sunrise).

So Spring is here. Summer should come later this week. We'll see. Meanwhile, we'll make the most of it. :) Settings: ISO 25, f/2.2, 1/6000 s.

On the streets of San Jose. We were working at the Hilton down the road a little ways from here. Settings: ISO 25, f/2.2, 1/1054 s.

A birdy watching over us from our hotel as we loaded into the car. Nice little chap. Mostly harmless. Settings: ISO 100, f/1.8, 1/800 s.

We paid a visit to Santa Cruz while out in California on business a couple years back. Made it to the beach just around sunset. Settings: ISO 100, f/11, 5.0 s.
