The Scary Book
I thought it was one of the scariest when I red it about 15 years ago. Now it's the book. 27 February 2006
Home
The day after a week of skiing with Max found me too tired to do much but a self portrait. I tried several other indoor shots, but I need a good self portrait for Margie's birthday, so this is a warm up. 26 February 2006
Indiscretion
This time there was someone on the top of Baldy willing to jump into Little Chute from the top. On his telemark skis. 25 February 2006
The Better Part of Valor
Looking into Main Chute from the top of Mt Baldy. 24 February 2006
Devil's Castle
Max and I kicked steps way up into this run. None of my shots convey the steepness and size of the place. Lots of beautiful light untracked powder. 23 February 2006

East Castle Summit
Max and I took the 1 hour hike from the top of Supreme to the the top of East Devil's Castle. It was the last inbounds place at Alta we've never been. Mas asked me why I'd never gone before. I saved my answer for the top. I never before found anyone else who was willing to do it. The run down was worth it, almost virgin powder, steep and long. I had to pick this picture because it was such a great experience, but it had a little serious competition for my best shot of the day. 21 February 2003
Looking for Fresh in Devil's Canyon
I spent an hour being frustrated in Devi's Canyon. Wherever the best skiers were, that's where I wasn't. Wherever the dramatic light was, I missed it. I should have gotten out sooner. Anyway, I got this which with a lot of work in post, is OK. 20 February 2006
Alta Sun & Powder
I hung out at the top of Alf's for a while waiting for a great skier to come along. Didn't quire get that, but I did get this nice shot. 19 February 2006

Boston Ballet Studio Rehearsal
An embarrassment of riches today. I shot from 12:30 until 5:30 at the Boston Ballet's main rehearsal studio. I kept more than 250 images. Haven't dug though them all yet, but this one stands out in spite of the amputations. See the proof sheet gallery for all the shots. I'd love help spotting good ones. I plan to shoot at least one more studio rehearsal and the dress rehearsals of both La Fille Mal Grande on 9 March and Grand Slam on 16 March. 17 February 2006 Update: I entered this in the FM MA Balance. It didn't make the finals but it did get a comment from Andy (just in case you thought he spent all his time on dgrin.) He noticed the arm mid right and said it was distracting. Cloning out annoying features is Photoshop thing he's much better at than me, but I went at that arm with a vengeance. Also post processed a number of others from this shoot. This is still the star, but there a few really nice portraits as well. The retouched shots are here. Update:This made KPotD, 26 September 2006
MIT Sushi Chef
I've been stalking this guy for a week. He owns a concession in the Forbes Family Cafeteria in the Gates Building at MIT. Well, actually, it's the Gates Building in the Stata Center... 16 February 2006
Return to The Ring
I was very excited to go back there a little later in the afternoon when there would be more people there. It really is fun to watch the rhythm of boxing. This shot might need to go the the all three eyes in focus school. 15 February 2006
Vagina at MIT
I've been kind of on a roll until today. Wandered around MIT after Computational Photography looking for a shot. Thought I got one of sushi chefs in the Gates Building, but no. So I'll just have to stick to shock value on Valentine's Day. 14 Februrary 2006
Dominika
Another both eyes in focus shot. Not sure about the tip of her nose, though. This is 24-105 f/4L at 104mm and wide open. Playing with DOF fire again. If only I didn't love the bokeh so much. 13 February 2006
Margie
She might not love it, but it is a closeup with my 85mm f/1.2 with both eyes in focus. That's a goal I have set for myself: shooting portraits with both eyes in focus. Once I can reliably do this, I may reconsider those shots with shallower DOF. 12 February 2006
Working the Heavy Bag
At The Ring. I didn't ask her name but should have. Had to go back, but the good action on Saturday's is earlier than on weekdays, so apparently I missed the best sparing. This woman was involved in a very focused workout, though. 11 February 2006
The Speed Bag
Rodney at The Ring, boxing club, in Boston. I went in search of anti-abortion protesters at Planned Parenthood and happened on a much more interesting subject. 10 February 2006
