One of the guys I play tennis with asked me if I ever do restoration of old photos. I said, "sure, sometimes." Turns out that as a child, he accidentally burned down the family home. How'd you like to have that hanging over you at every family get-together?

My wife and I have been working our way through the season one DVDs of Mad Men. Seems like each summer we pick one TV show praised by the critics that we never watched. The last episode struck a chord with me as the lead character talked about what photos mean to us.
I've played with HDR (High Dynamic Range) images for several years now, using filters and multiple exposures. Now I'm using a program that does a great job of automating the process.
I'm just back from leading a photo trip on the Oregon coast for American Photo as part of their Mentor Series program. As is usual on a workshop like this, I took along a few of my favorite accessories, which I often call toys, to add some variety.
