  • Photos from Spain / Gibraltar

    Photos from Spain / Gibraltar

    So Daphy and I went to Spain this past week. We started off in Gibraltar, where we hiked all over the rock for an entire day and saw all sorts of historic military tunnels and installations dating back to the 1700s. Also monkeys. I’m not a big fan of having wild monkeys all over the…

  • Abandoned Coal Mine / Processing Facility

    I’m currently in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, a very scenic place. There is lots to look at here – the countryside is very beautiful, the mountains are gorgeous, and there are plenty of parks with hiking trails, waterfalls, beautiful forests, etc. So one thing I didn’t expect to find here was an abandoned coal mine. It’s probably…

  • Construction of the Golden Gate Bridge

    The always outstanding Retronaut.co has some fantastic images that were taken during the construction of the Golden Gate Bridge, in the years leading up to 1937. The bridge got it’s name from the Golden Gate  – the body of water that connects the San Francisco Bay to the Pacific Ocean –  and is one of…

  • A little light, a little luck.

    [singlepic id=317 w=320 h=240 float=left]Here’s a shot of a bridge that I took deep in the mountains of Alum Rock in San Jose, CA. I just came across this sitting on my hard drive and realized I’d never really shared it with anyone. Now, this was taken with a Droid X, but it’s a pretty…

  • Woolworths in NYC ca 1913

    I just came across an amazing photo of a scene in New York City of the Woolworths building in 1913. It’s a nice large image, so you can get in there and see some detail. It’s interesting to see the line of traffic on the street to the right side of the photo. Night Light…

  • Junkstock – Clifton Paint 31

    The word for the day is simplicity. And Junkstock captures the idea behind that word extremely well with this photo. This image, while containing almost nothing – a few flakes of paint peeling from a worn wall – manages to still present us with age, time, history, a feeling of ancientness. The simple and sparse…

  • Golden Gate Bridge in January

    [singlepic id=222 w=320 h=240 float=center] Back in January of this year, I managed to find myself in San Jose, California, on a business trip. It was a great trip. I spent the weekend with my cousin Justin, and had a blast photographing various locations in San Francisco. Here is a shot of the bridge across…

  • Panoramas

    I discovered by accident last night that the Droid X does panoramas. Of course it does! Here is one I took this morning of the riverfront area of Wilmington, NC. [singlepic id=219 w=500 h=375 float=] Full size version, click here. Be warned, it’s huge.

  • First experience with the Droid X

    [singlepic id=191 w=320 h=240 float=left] I got a Droid X this week. The thing is simply amazing. I’ve had a blackberry for the last two years, and the performance with it was sub optimal, in my opinion. I spent more time looking at the spinning hourglass on that blackberry than I did anything else. At…
