Posted on July 31, 2012 by Gary Wium

In my last post I mentioned that I was on a 15 day “Reboot” juice fast. Today is day 11 and I’m going strong. At this point I’m actually considering extending it to 20 days–but if I do it’ll be … Continue reading →

Posted on July 20, 2012 by Gary Wium

Happenstance on the bay

Posted on July 11, 2012 by Gary Wium

Not every shot works. Sometimes focus is missed, or there is too much motion in the frame… but sometimes the “mistakes” give rise to an interesting image. Lens: Canon EF 24-105mm f/4L. Canon 5DM3 going with the flow.

Posted on July 9, 2012 by Gary Wium

Posted on July 4, 2012 by Gary Wium

We walked from the homestead to downtown last night to see a movie. After the movie we headed over to the theater district square for a beer. While there I took a couple of shots of the fountain of faces … Continue reading →
