Another Point of View

As you know, thedude was not the only person with a camera on the Philippines trip. Here are a few of my favorite shots by Grant Goya – in no particular order.

Grant shoots with a Canon 5D. I think his camera outperforms my Nikon D2X in almost every category. Dammit!

I Think That I Shall Never See…

A poem lovely as a tree.

A tree whose hungry mouth is prest
Against the sweet earth’s flowing breast;

A tree that looks at God all day,
And lifts her leafy arms to pray;

A tree that may in summer wear
A nest of robins in her hair;

Upon whose bosom snow has lain;
Who intimately lives with rain.

Poems are made by fools like me,
But only God can make a tree.

A Couple of Great Shots From Wisconsin

It’s not that I have a soft spot for cute kids in leaf piles. It’s just that this is the sort of picture parents tend to e-mail to their victims friends. In fact, some of these images are pretty good – like this one.

This adorable shot of Leah was taken by her Dad, Jeff Kerkman somewhere in Wisconsin. Awww. The bird shot ain’t bad either. Thanks, Jeff! This reminds me that I have some really nice shots taken by Dave Seitz – also in Wisconsin. I’ll post a couple of may favorites from Dave soon.

Waikiki Panorama

Another gorgeous panorama by my good friend Grant. I’m posting this at a rather high resolution so that you can see just what a nice image this is. The shots were taken with a Canon 20D and stitched with PhotoVista.

Milwaukee’s Architectural Gem

I guess you all know that I’m from Wisconsin. Unfortunately, I haven’t been back to my home state since March – mainly ‘cuz I don’t travel in my new job. However, this year marks thirty years since I said goodbye to Burlington High School, and I have decided that I’m going to fly back for the reunion. While in Wisconsin, I will definitely visit the spectacular Milwaukee Museum of Art. My brother Todd sent me these beautiful shots today, and now I’m hooked. I can’t wait to see it.

I am somewhat disappointed that I will not be there before September 7th, which means I’ll miss the world-famous Oscar Mayer Wienermobile – part of the “GIANTS OF 20TH CENTURY INDUSTRIAL DESIGN” exibition – in progress now. I guess this also means that the magnificent Olympian Hiawatha train will be gone. Too bad – I really love trains.

Singapore Panorama

I’m on a roll with the panoramic shots. I think they look pretty cool on my pages. My friend Bruce shot this from his hotel balcony while on a visit to Singapore.

More than a Pretty Picture

When my good friend Steve Wynd shot this, it was merely a spectacular night time shot of the New York skyline and some of mankind’s greatest engineering achievements…

World’s Third Highest Mountain

Not all of the pictures on this site were shot by me. This gorgeous panorama was taken by my friend Jim Davidson during a trek through northeren India. Maybe I can get Jim to share a few thoughts about this – by far the best shot of Kanchenjunga I have ever seen.
