Of TV Shows, Valentines, and New Publications

Why oh why do my very favorite TV shows always end after just one or two seasons?  First, it was Dark Angel, then I discovered Eli Lilly, and then…Heroes was so good, how could they possibly have ended it after only one season???  And now!  I started watching John Doe, and that last episode [...]

Cathedral of St. Matthew in 360 Degrees…Left, Right, and Up and Down

When I photographed the Cathedral of St. Matthew the Apostle in Washington, DC last weekend, I also shot a sequence of 59 images (360 degrees around me plus up and down, making a 3D, 360-degree sphere), as I wanted to try a 360 degree panorama, as well as a stereographic (spherical) panorama.  Check’em out [...]

A Peek into the Washington National Cathedral

I was over at the Washington National Cathedral earlier this week for a family/baby portrait shoot in the Cathedral gardens.  I got there a little early to do some scouting, but had just a minute or two for a peek inside the cathedral itself.  I didn’t have time to set up a tripod, so [...]
