Doug Boutwell the occasional odd thought or image
Flying Solo
Just had an exhilarating experience today… my first solo flight! Yay! I’ve been working on getting my pilot’s license for about a year (took a detour in June because the surf was good all damned month, and then just kinda forgot about flying). Got back into it this week, though, and surprisingly didn’t have nearly [...]

People would nominate someone they thought could use the gift on her blog, and [...]
Goodies For iPhone Peeps
I’m not an Apple fanboy, by any means, but that doesn’t mean I’m not totally smitten with the iPhone. It does the job or 4 or 5 separate gizmos, and does it better. Plus it feels nice in my hand, and all of my photographer-friends don’t make fun of me for being a PC guy [...]

Anyway, Ron Dawson, videographer extraordinaire, did a telephone interview with me and Chenin a while back (excuse me, Chenin and I). If you want to know a little more about who we are, what we think [...]
