This was one of the few (if any) portrait shots that turned out during our trip to Boston. I was very happy with the richness in the tones of this photo.

I just noticed that I had not published the weekly links - I was too busy fiddling with our new acquisition (more on that later). Once again, great links abound in this collection - many of them political or media related. On a sobering note, White House press secretary, Tony Snow is undergoing an operation to remove a tumor in his stomach. The procedure is precautionary as the tumor seems to be benign - still, pretty scary. I am not too big of a fan of Tony Snow’s political stances, but all differences are put aside when news like this hits. My best to Mr. Snow - I wish him a speedy recovery.
Enjoy the links.

After some significant talking and planning, we picked up our first digital SLR. My wife wanted to have the chance to experiment without the expense that film can bring. Considering the cost of high quality film added to the price of developing, being “trigger happy” with the camera can begin to rack up money. Ironically, our desire for a digital SLR was for both of to have a set of training wheels for our film cameras. If we wanted to experiment with a new type of shot, we could try shooting it with the digital and then go back for the final shot with our film cameras. Sure, there are going to be differences, but the ability for a dry-run with even remotely similar results is priceless.
