Curiously enough, I still get asked a lot about things relating to photography. In the previous two installments of “Truth Behind the Shutter” I went over some of the basics of how I go about taking my photographs. Most of the explanation contained in those accounts was of a technical nature (if you want...

As many of you know, I enjoy taking photos. Some of you even enjoy viewing those photos. Seeing as I do not have any kind of media accreditation for this event, my ability to bring you photos may be somewhat limited because my access to stuff will be somewhat limited. Even so, there’s no...

I am not ordinarily a betting man. But when Swedish speed skater Claudia Wallin suggested we place bets on placings for the Dutch single distance championships, I couldn’t resist.

My application for photo editor of the Spec… that never made it (note: MB = Managing Board) To MB or not to MB, that is the question, whether ’tis nobler in the mind to suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous deadline, or to raise eyepiece to eye, finger to shutter, and by opposing,...

News assignments are kinda cool, sports assignments aren’t bad either… but food… mmm…. Those who know me well know that I like food. I am capable of consuming copious amounts of it and, when married with a well-traveled and somewhat refined palette, this makes for an expensive combination. When the opportunity to go along...
