Spring Break. A week off from school…and her bestest friends were going to Disney. “We’re not going anywhere?” our 8 year old daughter asked incredulously. Never mind that our family vacation was coming up next month. Her disappointment only intensified when Grandma called and reminded her that this time last year we were staying at...
We often hear the anagram HDR, and think High Dynamic Range. Some people don’t care much for the image that pops into their head, assuming it’s one of those over-the-top highly processed images that looks more illustrative than photographic. There is, however, a distinction between HDR and Tone Mapping. An image can be HDR and...

Nordic skiing…watching the Olympics you’d almost think this sport was easy. The athletes hardly looked winded gliding along soft powdery snow, swishing past whispering pines in idyllic settings. If given the same opportunity, who wouldn’t jump at the chance to try it? Especially when the tour operator claims, “If you can walk, you can ski.”...
