100% my photos.
Update #3: I’ve had zero time to work on my photos. Had a family emergency over the Labor Day Weekend (not fun calling 911 on Saturday). Photos coming soon, I promise! Please check back.
Here’s a teaser photo from the VMworld 2012 Party last night. There will be many more photos to come, so please check back!
Has the smart phone supplanted the Zippo? Empirical evidence provided.
Here’s the Ghandi statue in the Ferry Building parking lot:
My wife and I were very fortunate to be guests of the EverFi sponsored ThorSport #98 driven by Dakota Armstrong. I traveled light with my point-and-shoot, but still managed to get a few photos of the inspection process.
Our third Farmers’ Market of the 2012 season, and another super crowd. This was also the second annual Des Moines Flickr Friend Photowalk. Be sure to check out the other amazing photos there.

The 2012 Des Moines Farmers’ Market kicked off with a very large crowd this season, despite the humidity hanging in the air. As always, please feel free to skip to the Photo Set on Flickr, or the Slideshow, or click on any image to go directly to it on Flickr. Also keep in mind that these are all licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution, Noncommercial, Share Alike license. Enjoy!
I just got through changing almost all of my 1200+ photos on Flickr from an all rights reserved license (the default) to the CC BY-NC-SA license. That is, Attribution (BY), Non-Commercial (NC), and Share Alike (SA). Breaking that down, this quite simply means:
- Attribution: If you use my work, you must attribute it to me.
- Non-Commercial: My work may not be used for commercial purposes.
- Share Alike: If you create a derivative work based on my work, you must release that under this or a similar license.
Why on earth would I simply give my work away like this? My primary motivation is exposure. I feel that releasing my works like this will bring more attention to my work. Plain and simple. I’ve been inspired by artists like Nina Paley and musicians who share their music on sites like Jamendo — all under Creative Commons licensing.
I chose this particular license because I feel it is the most fair to all parties involved. For example, I do not collect model releases from any of my subjects. This would be quite difficult in situations such as the Des Moines Farmers’ Market or shooting on the streets of places like San Francisco. Therefore, the Non-Commercial clause is pretty much required.
Attribution to me is the very least anyone can do to repay me for my work, and it is all I ask from these photos I present on Flickr and this blog.
Share Alike, while a restriction on the freedom to use these works, is also a small price to pay for remixing my works and creating your own from them. Think of it as paying it forward. I gave freely of my work, so you must do the same.
Finally, my intention of seeking attention is without ambition. I’m simply sharing my work and hoping for a greater audience.
Took a couple of hours to walk around downtown Des Moines, IA this weekend along with some other fellow photographers. Unfortunately, I showed up late and had to leave a little early so I did not get to socialize very much. Also, I must have taken off in a different directly than the bulk of the group, because I didn’t end up running in to too many other photographers. From Java Joe’s, I headed West towards West End Salvage. I went to the top of a few parking garages to try to get a different perspective of the Des Moines sky line.
Here are my photos from that session. As always, please click on a photo to show it on Flickr, visit the whole set on Flickr, or just fire up the slideshow.
Got up early this morning and took some photos during “golden hour” light at Des Moines’ Western Gateway Park. As you can tell, Nomade is my favorite subject.
As always, please click the photos or visit the photo set on Flickr to see more from this set.
A selection of my photos from both Des Moines sessions of Scott Kelby’s Worldwide Photowalk 2011. As always, please visit either the First Set or the Second Set for more!
I’ll lead off with my two submissions. Neither of them won, but that’s not surprising because all of the submissions were excellent!
Now for a selection of other photos from the walks:
