Posted on May 22, 2012 by Gary Wium

I’m currently going through a major transition (all good!), so I’m wrapping stuff up and preparing to change coordinates. Also, I’ve got this brand new, monster of a camera but I’m ridiculously busy–aargh!… Lots of 5DM3 “Out and About” photos … Continue reading →

Posted on February 23, 2012 by Gary Wium

I’ve owned and ridden motorcycles in my lifetime, but I’ve never ridden a Harley. If I were to own one, I could see it looking something like this. Canon G11 getting close to the chrome.

An abstracted day at the office

Posted on December 13, 2011 by Gary Wium

I have an iPhone, the Hipstamatic camera app, and I work with computers–so this shot was more or less inevitable. Here’s an abstract of where my right hand spends a lot of it’s time during a typical work day. iPhone/Hipstamatic … Continue reading →

Handlebars and legs

Posted on October 25, 2011 by Gary Wium

The commute was once again uninspiring for taking photographs. The temperature is pleasant, but this year’s Indian Summer has lingered for far too long–and, according to the weather reports, there’s no change in site. Weird. Ah well, it’s probably time … Continue reading →

At an Irish seisiún

Posted on October 7, 2011 by Gary Wium

A friend of mine leads a local Irish seisiún. I don’t join in because they already have enough guitar players (I know all the seisiún players reading this are thinking, “what a guy!” ;^). Anyway, Maggie and I went last … Continue reading →
