em5

I understand the first generation EM5 has an issue where the mechanical shutter gets stuck after a certain number of actuations. I contacted Olympus to ask about the cost for repair, and they no longer support this model and is therefore unrepairable. Various sources say the shutter can get...

Our nieces and nephew during a ski (okay, tubing) break this past weekend.

Dynamic contrasting, contrast and structure boost, custom lens vignette, burn edges and sepia toning in Silver Efex.

Abandoned truck on a ridge, found along a county road today on the way home today.

Saturday night special @ Chet's Lakeside in Parkers Prairie, Minnesota - "Swedish" recipe fried chicken, stuffed shrimp, and mashed potatos/gravy. Oh yeah, and a trip to the salad bar (hello iceberg lettuce and thousand island dressing!). My mother-in-law's family has been coming...

Everything but the kitchen sink? Found at my mother-in-law's old family farm today.

(#37 extra credit, which i definitely am going to need!) Lunch hour bike ride through the city park and I saw this sign at the archery range. Next challenge, I will have to learn archery and then do something here more advanced like launching a camera body, catching flaming arrows (with...

the public beach at a small lake in a nearby city park... even though we had a unseasonably warm winter, spring looks back to normal and it will be a few weeks before the summer activities really begin.

A crosswalk sign on a very rural road in Wisconsin.

10 PM in Minneapolis for the Yann Tiersen show at First Avenue.

I drove by an abandoned school bus I had captured one and thought it would make a decent "time has passed." I did almost get a tick for the cause... found a little deer tick crawling up my pants after getting back to the car.
