Another delicious green beverage. This was at one time my beer of choice but I've moved on to bigger and better.

Bigger and better being Schlafly. I took this photo during the power outage from the storms of Summer 2006. The power went out and I grabbed a camera, a brew and a candle. How hardcore is that?

Caps: Samichlaus

Continuing on my caps series, since I'm lagging behind so much, I thought I'd pick one of the rarest beers in the world: Samichlaus, which I had the chance to drink a year or two ago.
Botanical Gardens St. Louis

Ever been to Botanical Gardens in St. Louis? If not, I highly recommend it. And while this photo doesn't actually highlight the beauty of Botanical Gardens, you can find out more info on their website at MoBot.org
Caps - Schlafly No. 15

Time for another Caps entry. This time I'm keeping it local with my favorite brewery of all time: Schlafly. This No. 15 brew is the tool I use to get people in the door and it even got Sarah to start trying (and now liking) beer.
Must Read Book: Green Greener Greenest

I picked up an excellent book a few days ago. It's titled "Green, Greener, Greenest" by Lori Bongiorno. It's a practical guide to making eco-smart choices a part of your life. Lori worked for BusinessWeek and has written for The Green Guide (among other magazines) so her writing style is spot-on.
Lomo Fisheye Photo: Mountain Lighting

Ever had mountain lightening? It was our beverage of choice as poor college kids. If you answered yes to the question above then chances are you're also familiar with Dr Topper? If you said yes to both of those, high five. Here's a mountain lighting catching a few rays on the edge of the starbucks trash can.
Caps - Ayinger Brau-Weisse

This is the start of a new series I've been dying to do. Last year I started collecting bottle caps from my favorite brews. My goal in this series is to photograph the cap, talk about the beer (maybe some history) and explain why I think it's so tasty. So the first up is Ayinger, a beer I first enjoyed in Germany when I was around 17 years old...
The great grapefruit diptic

More fruit shots. I just couldn't leave a good thing alone. Remember, no fruit was ~~harmed~~ wasted in this shoot, so we're good on that.
Fruity Photography

My shooting has been in a slump lately. I think it's the winter months. Today it made me just plain mad so I was out on a mission to create a decent photo. Off to the fridge I go.
Who doesn't love Schlafly?

Alright I've been made fun of recently for my love of Schlafly but seriously, who doesn't love it? If you have not tried Schlafly beer, please read the following list to make sure that your reason is an acceptable one.
Stray Bird - Series of 10

Ok so a week or so ago I said I was going to take one subject and in one short shoot produce 10 images for a series. Well here we go for round two. (see round one here)
Schlafly - Series of 10

I'm forcing myself to start a new series. I'm going to try my hardest to do this once a week. Pick 1 object or 1 theme and in one brief session come up with 10 images. I thought hey, why not start with my favorite beverage? Schlafly!
Triple Venti Vanilla Latte

I love me some Starbucks. I had a chance to mess around with my new macro lens so I started shooting stuff around the office.
DIY Macro Lens Reverse Mount Extension Tube

The following is a tutorial on how to create an extension tube / reverse mount for a standard 18-55mm lens using common plumbing supplies found at your local hardware store.
I would highly recommend NOT doing this, you'll more than likely get dust inside your camera like I did. It's cool to check out but really, it's not worth it. DIY'er beware!
