Analog to the rescue! After all the digital woes (that I didn’t know about till I returned), I’m so glad I took the LC-A and a couple of rolls of film along. Without them, I’d have only a few shots from the phone to share.* Alhamdulillah. I didn’t shoot much before the first weekend, even …

12 Days in Costa Rica: Day 4 (pt. 2)
3 or 4 passable shots from the D7000, and only 3 or 4 (or 5). Even given the technical difficulties I experienced with the digital rig, I expected a better hit ratio than I got: 1/100 is better than what a good photographer might hope for,* but if I’ve revealed anything on this blog it must be …
12 Days in Costa Rica: Day 4 (pt. 1)
technical difficulties So many pictures to share—though far less than there might have been—and I’m already through 1/4 of the days? I need to get to sharing! But first, a problem to note. I pressed the shutter button on the D7000/Nikkor 28-105 D combo close to 400 times while I was in Costa Rica. Admittedly, …

12 Days in Costa Rica: Day 2
As I don’t have pictures that correspond to days, I’ll be sharing pictures somewhat arbitrarily, grouped according whatever whims and fancies I felt at whatever time I put these posts together. Since I started with Hipsta- and Cinamatic, I’ll continue with that theme. And since one month ago, I enjoyed my first breakfast at the Doubletree …

I’m back in Texas (and have been for a couple of weeks). Costa Rica programming will continue for awhile (11 more days, at least), but since this is the last week in the current office, I’m going to try to share some random pictures from this nondescript office park before we move to a different—but …
12 Days in Costa Rica: Day 1
Equifax hired some new linkage people in Costa Rica and sent me down to train them again, this time for 12 days. I arrived Sunday the 15th of February and returned to Dallas on February 27. It was a good trip: the training went well; I stayed in a different hotel in a classy neighborhood …
