Derrick Story starts his first in an ongoing series of photo essays demonstrating how to get the most out of your digital camera (Thanks John)

I find it so inspiring to peruse the Photo Blogs indexed @ Photoblogs.org. It makes me want to take more pictures…

My sister Susan took some great pictures at our wedding. Here’s an Ofoto link to the first set of pictures.

An Ofoto link to pictures taken during our (Dave, John and myselft) ride in South Mountain.

After reading Top Ten Digital Photography Tips on O’Reilly I picked up The UltraPod II tripod and I must say that it is indeed a “compact, versatile, ingenious device”. In fact, I stuffed it into my CamelBak and took it on our ride in SoMo yesterday, where it worked very well.

My cousin Kim sent me this… very funny …

Rob sent me this Ofoto link to the pictures he took during Bike NY 2002. This marked our 4th year of attendance and the largest group with 13 people riding in “Team Betty”. I think I speak for everyone that we all had a blast! I even was able to get Catherine to ride this year (thanks to Heather) However, I think the saddest moments were on the ferry ride back to Manhattan and our unplanned bike tour through ground zero. Such a devastating sight.

Well, this year I finally rigged my camera bag so that I could easily get to the cam while I was riding, because everyone who has ever ridden with me knows how much I like to stop :-)   However, the downside is that none of the pictures are of me … (well, that was a bit by design!)   anyway, here are the pictures I took during Bike New York 2001

pictures of Pinto playing in the snow at South Mountain Reservation in Essex County, NJ on New Years Day … it’s easy to see that he was having a blast!
