To Holga by Boat
Although it doesn't exactly feel like it, summer is definitely over. Since that is the case, I wanted to try to post a few pictures that wouldn't exactly be appropriate for winter. And what is less appropriate for winter than summer? Sadly, these are not from last summer, but the one before; this summer was so hectic for all of us that we never got a chance to get out on the boat. Next summer though.. there will be boating. Until then, I'll just have to look at pictures. Pictures like these.
3 things wrong with this dock
I don’t really know why this dock is here. Well, that’s not entirely true; it’s clearly for boats to tie up to, but when you really examine this dock you have to wonder what it’s doing.
First of all, it was amazingly hard to get to the dock from the road and cabin area. Someone had cut down a tree, and was in the process of very slowly burning it, so perhaps normally there is a path down. But as it was, you had to climb around this tree, down some serious rocks, and through shin deep ash. That’s the first problem of many.
The second problem is that there is no protection for the boats tied to it. They’re just sitting there in the open water, getting slammed by wakes. It would be far more effective if it had a slip, or was configured differently to offer protection.
Although this next problem is not normally a problem, right now it is. The water is unusually low because of dam maintenance, so even driving to this dock is probably somewhat dangerous in anything but a WaveRunner.
Other than this dock being questionably placed, everything about the cabin at Toronto lake was great!
Have a good day. See you tomorrow.
(I already posted this one, but this is the "path" down to the dock)

new site!
Welcome to my new site. I felt like the old one was too stuffy. jeremyjewell Photography? What am I, a business? No, I'm just a guy with some cameras. Lots of cameras. Speaking of cameras.. I bought this freaking sweet Hasselblad a couple weeks ago. This is one hell of a camera. The first time I played with one in the camera shop in Irvine, I had no clue what I was doing. Luckily the fella behind the counter showed me how it worked a little bit. I almost bought a really janky one that day at an amazing price, but it had some mechanical issues, so I said no thanks. I finally found one at a good price and jumped on it. After I got it, I met this really nice lady named Rachel for lunch and she showed me the in's and out's of it. I'm sure this is all very boring, so I'm sorry, but I need to give credit where credit is due. So I'd also like to thank my friend hannah for first of all, making me do film photography, then urging me to get a Hassy, then introducing me to Rachel.
Sorry for the boringness, really. Here are some pictures I took with it. The first one was not at the lake, the rest were at the lake. Except for the last one; that one also was not at the lake.
Oh yeah, before the pictures I'd suggest you check out my Flickr from time to time. I probably won't post all my Flickr pictures on here. I will however give sneak peaks of pictures on here before they can be seen on Flickr, so there's your incentive to visit here. Plus you get to read my thoughts. No matter how boring they may be. Usually they'll be exciting and entertaining.. Entertaining at least. Also if you want to see these baby's bigger, just click on them! If it says you can't see it, it's just because it's one of the sneak preview ones, so wait a few days and come back to see it big.
Oh one more thing, my cousin told me the other week that my aunt didn't know I was doing a 365 project (where I take and share a picture every day for a year). Well, I am, and I post them ALL on my Flickr, so check that out already. There's always a link at the top of this site. There's also a nifty thing at the bottom that shows my last 9 uploads to Flickr.
Oh sorry, but one last thing, I imported all my old posts, so the archive is still alive and well. Sadly, the email notification feature will not be joining my new site. Unless there is overwhelming demand, in which case I can shoot you an email every time I post. If you want it, just email me, call me, or yell at me.
Josh was skipping some rocks on the water, so I was all "hey huck a big rock in there" so he did.
And of course, me!

Yellow Cake
Wait, Yellow Lake, not Yellow Cake... Great, now I'm on a watch list.
Me: What do you say we get this thing going again?
Me: OK, why not? It’s been a while and I have pictures to post.
Me: Because I’m busy, that’s why not.
Me: Well I’m not that busy.
Me: Yeah, but too busy to sit down and spend a few minutes writing up a post to accompany the photo.
Me: No, not really.
Me: No, you’re right; I guess I might as well share this one.
I think this is an interesting photograph. I took this at Silverwood Lake, shortly before taking this fishy photo. When I looked at this picture after taking it, I noticed the background was out of focus, but a narrow part of the flowers were in focus, and I was intrigued. It was technically winter, but these flowers were luckily still alive, and the slight wind was no match for my sweet mid-western grown, wind fighting skills.

Fishy Silverwood Lake
I took this picture at Silverwood Lake in the San Bernardino Mountains. I went exploring one day, with one of the area’s mountain lakes in mind as my eventual destination and found myself at this dam (seen on the left). It was a pretty area, and there were great wispy clouds in the sky that day (not so much seen in this particular picture), which are my favorite kind of cloud to photograph. There were also a lot of annoying people with stereos fishing at the other end of the dam, taking up some good photographic real estate.
This photograph is a panorama comprised of three shots stitched together. Each picture is a single exposure. After stitching them together, I did some editing in Photoshop to get the exact look I wanted. I titled this Fishy Silverwood Lake for a couple reasons. First of all, it’s a lake and there are most certainly fish living within (see above for indirect evidence of this), and second, the angle of view is greater than my 10mm lens could achieve. Whether or not it is 180 degrees from left to right as would be the case with a fisheye lens, I don’t know, but I do know it’s very wide. There’s also no crazy fisheye distortion. I felt fishy was a fair description. Enjoy.

Mountain Rocks
As I mentioned in Lufkin Civic Center, I haven’t felt much like working on my artism recently, any further than taking pictures. Luckily, I have a tendency to process photos to a state that is almost finished, but not quite ready for public consumption. It’s a bad habit, but worked out well on this occasion.
This is another photograph from the spring ski trip to Colorado earlier this year. I've had it almost done for a while, and just needed to put a few finishing touches on it.
I did quite a bit of talking in the last post, so I'll keep this one short and let the photograph do the rest of the talking.

Georgetown Lake
I've been pretty busy lately, and traveling, so that's why there hasn't been an update for a little while. I'm in Georgia right now, and finally have some downtime in the hotel to get a post or two ready to publish. I've had a good time in southeast Georgia. I learned that there are some great people down here. I brought my camera along for the trip and got some good photos, so expect them sometime soon, along with more stories from my trip.
This photograph is another I took last spring in Georgetown, Colorado. It is another view of the lake we could see when we looked off our balcony of the condo in which we stayed. The stream seen with the fog also feeds into this lake. As you can see, the lake is partially frozen, and it looks like a storm is rolling in, but it didn't storm, or even snow in Georgetown while we were there.

Colorado View
This was the view we had from our condo in Georgetown, Colorado last spring when I went skiing with my Dad and Brother. The lake and mountains were very pretty, and I got a number of pictures I liked in the area. We have stayed in Georgetown for many years, but we’ve never stayed in these condos or even near the lake before this year.
Although I did get some nice photos from Georgetown, I didn’t get any pictures while skiing. For one, I’m a little nervous about taking my DSLR up the mountain while I’m skiing, as there is a greater possibility of falling while on skis with a camera than there is while just walking around with a camera. I also tend to focus more on skiing, and less on taking pictures when I'm on the mountain. One of these days though, I’ll work up the nerve and spend an afternoon on the mountain with my camera, taking it easy and taking photos.
