For Photo Journal entries
It has been awhile since I have mentioned anything about my Flickr account, and last night, I finally reached another milestone… 100,000 Total Flickr views!
As you can see, there has been a spike over the past couple of days, and that seems to be due to traffic from my “Fire in the Neighborhood!” post of the other day.
In any case, I want to thank all those that have visited, and I hope you enjoyed what I have to offer.

Wow!
I just got the following email! –
“Hello Andrew
Congratulations, the picture you submitted for our February competition with theme ‘Water’ has won the first prize. [snip…]
http://
landscapephotographymagazine. com/2013/lpm-manfrotto- competition-winner-theme- water/ Paul”
and from the main website:
“We loved Andrew’s image for many reasons. The composition was slightly complicated and yet, extremely pleasing and well designed to keep your eyes staring at it for a while. It contained beautifully vivid colours and gorgeous reflections. The exposure was very well controlled and so was the shutter speed. All in all, a superb image and well worth to win our February competition.”
I am SO honored to have been chosen the Winner with so many other awesome entries!
For what it is worth, I bought my current tripod, a Bogen (#3020), when I was about 18, which was over 30+ years ago, so I greatly look forward to trying out something more modern!
Thank you to the folks at landscapephotographymagazine.com and Manfrotto for this!

It is another rainy day here in Chester County, so I decided to catch-up on an old mental project – Start to photograph my photography collect (cameras, trays, etc.).
Why not, I have been working on getting the studio back in order, so…
as you can see, I have used a few different ones over the years!
Now all I have to do, is add some story text to each camera…

It has been a while, but once again, I have calmed my photography studio space back again!
I lose the “studio” every couple of months, to some family life event…
Which is good, in the sense, because I have to clean-up and set-up, which forces me to be more efficient.
In theory…
Anyhow, after a morning doing another set-up, and a half-day of school for the kids, I had them sit in front of my camera, to take some pictures.
Can you tell they have been in front of the camera before?
and the sugary snacks helped a little!
Now off to Girl Scouts!
