Today after a short but intense round of research, all of 3 days, I bought a new camera. I’ve mentioned this on Twitter (@JimGoldstein) some and have been intentionally vague about it. My intention with being coy about the purchase was to make an announcement with an example of the output from the camera. I’m still going to do this, but I’ve noticed a flurry of guessing happening with my network on

This week has been super hectic as I ramp up to hit the road.  While its cliché to say “I could make use of more time”, it is true. I think I could keep myself busy non-stop with 48 hour days.

To most this will seem to be a rather ordinary photo, but for those familiar with the Farallon Islands you’ll find this photo amazing… and no this wasn’t the result of Photoshop wizardry. The Farallones are 27 miles off the coast of San Francisco and normally cannot be seen as they’re often concealed behind a shroud of fog. In addition when you do see them they’re specks on the horizon.
