I found this great painting today at a junk store, and was captivated by its combination of technical skill and naiveté. The detail work with the stylized trees make for an interesting scene. When I came

Insta-Painting This image began as an Instagram photo, taken when I was bicycling past this little shop after work one rainy night. I put my iPhone down to the ground and snapped some photos. Later, I

I'm really happy with how this painting turned out. I had a rough start, beginning on a used canvas (You can see the false start, here, then I decided to use a fresh canvas, untoned, and larger. I thought

Today was a workout day, and I walked to the train. It was raining, so I took the subway from there. That means 2,000 steps. At lunch I didn’t walk that much. Biked to the train, then walked home. Got

It’s not often that I photograph these bikes. They’re not particularly interesting, and I’m usually on one, or trying to keep it out of view of my camera. But here, I think they’re looking pretty photogenic.

I worked out this morning, then slushed my way to the train. There was too much snow this morning to bike, so I took the subway, then walked to the office. Wasn’t feeling well, and the dogs weren’t walked

Great day today! I worked out, then walked 1,000 footsteps to the train, then biked 2 miles in the bitter cold. At lunch I didn’t do much, but I did have to give a tour of campus, so that was something.

Fundamentals When searching for photos to take, I look for bright colors and bright lights. Then, the next thing I look for is a puddle or other reflecting surface, such as a window, or a wet sidewalk.

Timing It took me awhile to take these shots. The puddle was in the road, and traffic and bikes kept coming by. The puddle was made of coffee, but shh, that's our little secret. The stop light down the

I had a banner day! I spent several hours working on a banner image for a website. Oh, and I did a lot of exercise! Worked out this morning. Biked a couple miles to work and during lunch I took a bus to

Getting the Right Image I'm always on the lookout for some good light. This season, with the long shadows at dawn and dusk, provides so many beautiful vignettes. A simple walk to the train can be interrupted

So much better than yesterday! I carried a painting to work, so I took the train all the way and walked 1,000 feet. At lunch, I walked over the bridge from Boston to Cambridge, and walked to the subway
