Extra busy week
ByDerekThis is like a super extra busy week for me. My supervisor is out of town for training, and that leaves me in charge of our team of two. That in itself wouldn’t be a big deal, except that this week marks the start of our benefits enrollment period, the single busiest time of year…

The Jack-O-Lanterns
ByDerekSo we just carved our pumpkins and I grabbed the camera to play around a little bit. Got some cool results! Here they are on their own… Here I added a little light painting with an LED flashlight gelled with a full CTO… Strobe behind the pumpkin, with my Sto-Fen Omni Bounce makes a Spooky…

First Amendment Rights of ISPs?

Comes in handy on days like today, and presumably tomorrow morning!
