It has snowed more in the past two weeks than it has for the past two winters, and it’s only December 20th. Having finished snowing this evening for the third time in 8 days, I decided to do some night photography with my Leica D-LUX 3. It was good practice shooting in the evening with both color and black and white photography in mind. I played around a bit with the white balance. I was shocked to see that, given enough exposure, the camera can make an evening scene look like mid day, albeit a bit eerie.

Last weekend Leah and I visited Hamilton House, a historic house maintained by Historic New England, in South Berwick, Maine. It’s a beautiful location on the Salmon Falls River, with an ornamental garden and very scenic grounds. I was able to take a number of digital photographs with my Leica D-LUX 3.

I just returned from a trip to Arkansas, and here are a few pictures. They’re all pictures of us out on the water. It was in the 90’s all week, and being on the lake was the best way to keep cool. Well, that and the air conditioning. Of course, the lake water was in the 70’s, so it wasn’t exactly refreshing, like it can be in early summer or fall. None-the-less, it was fun to play outside for a few days.

Yesterday afternoon, August 4th 2007, I asked Leah to marry me. We spent the day in Portsmouth New Hampshire. Portsmouth is a beautiful coastal town, it has many wonderful little shops and great restaurants. We walked around Prescott Park, which has a very beautiful ornamental garden. We sat on a pier at that park. We then went to Fort Constitution on New Castle Island, which has the Portsmouth lighthouse. This is where I proposed. We then drove home down route 1-A, along the shore.
