Sony A7R testing
I just received my new Sony A7R. From the first days the camera came out last year I knew I was going to migrate to it from my Nikon kit (although I will still keep most of my Nikon lenses and one body). But I…
The North Face of the Eiger
I can’t stop posting pictures of Grindelwald the day after a major snowfall. The landscape is changes dramatically and is actually hard to capture with a camera. The naked eye just does a better job.

The New London
