Bruce!

There isn’t a lot I can say here that hasn’t been said far more eloquently by Bruce’s friends and family, so I’ll let the images do most of the talking. Kelly and I laughed out loud while looking at these. We hope you will too.

You were a big part of the fondest memory of our lives – namely, our honeymoon in Bali. We had such a wonderful time that we returned the following year. You were the perfect host – offering us a room in your cool Bali house and accompanying us on our cross-country journey, where we stayed in the best rooms in the best hotels. These memories will be with us forever.

Think you have enough sunscreen there, Bruce?

Of course, we’ve always appreciated your sense of humor, perfect timing, your instant recall of every line of every Cohen brothers film and Seinfeld episode. You are without doubt one of the funniest and most gracious people we’ve ever had the pleasure to know. I think we have a lot in common as well. We see pretty much eye-to-eye politically speaking. We’re Geek brothers under the skin. And then there’s our relationship with food… Anyone up for Dessert?

We hope you and Catharine are having a joyful day filled with love in your Bali paradise. You are truly one-of-a-kind, Bruce. You will live in our hearts and minds forever.

Many more wonderful memories here.

I’m afraid I’ll start to bore you, so this is the last of the pix for now.

Wyoming Postcard

Even at f22, the depth of focus is too shallow. Jason’s right. I need tilts and swings. Damn. What’s cheaper, a decent used 4 x 5 rig or one of these?

OK – Enough with the Work Already!

Let’s get back to that vacation thing. I like that better…

Some of my favorite shots from our trip. Thanks to all of you. What a great time.

Welcome to Panorama Country

Jackson Hole experienced its greatest snow accumulation ever this year, and we were lucky enough to be in the right place at the right time.

I’m posting these images super large this time so you can check out the details. (I’ll add GPS info as soon as I get a chance.)

The images in the panoramas were shot hand held using a Nikon D3 and the cheapest Nikkor lens – less than 100 bucks when I bought it. Stitching with the amazing AutoPano Pro.

Updated Imagery on Google Earth

I’m not sure when it happened, but it appears that the satellite imagery of Thule Air Base in Greenland has improved. Click on this Google Earth Placemark to have a look at my home for 17 months in ’85 to ’87. There are quite a few links to images of Thule landmarks, including a few by thedude.

The beautiful Amangani Resort in Jackson Hole. This is actually a 6-image panoramic image, shot with my trusty Nikkor 50 mm and stitched with AutoPano Pro.
