January 2012 Wallpaper

DSPRATTE 2012 Wallpaper January

Can’t believe I just wrote “2012.” And with this post, it looks like the wallpapers will continue for another year. What to start a year with?

The New Camera for Street Photography

LTD

It’s so easy to fall down the well of “need great gear to make great pictures.” It’s complicated. But taking pictures shouldn’t be.

DSPRATTE July 2011 Wallpaper

Sorry for the delay, but I hope it was worth the wait. I was hard at work up north getting this shot for you.

6 DSPRATTE 2011 Large Cinema

Got back late last night from Lincoln Spring Nationals. In honor of being in a car for almost 24 hours coming back I present this road shot from Wyoming

2011 May Wallpaper

Prayer Tree, May 2011 Wallpaper

I called this shot “Prayer Tree” and I hope to go back one day to tie one myself.

November 2010 Wallpaper

DSPRATTE MBP November Wallpaper

Last year about this time of year I was in New Orleans and Biloxi. Shot this during one evening in a cemetery right off Beach Boulevard in Biloxi. Maybe it’s because I’m writing this on Halloween that I got drawn to a cemetery set for this month’s wallpaper. Or maybe it’s because I’m heading back that direction later this month—a bit more east though for Tupelo and Memphis. Either way, enjoy. Grab a MacBook Pro friendly size via the image above. Or snag an old school 4:3 version or big cinema display if that’s your thing.

New Year’s Eve 2009 and Adventures with Lightroom

January 2009 has really charged out of the gate. At least on the design front. I haven’t shot too much this month. Partially because I’ve been getting my head wrapped around Lightroom and the Lumix GFI. A few words about the later first: It’s a fantastic little camera. It’s easily my new everyday carry camera with the 20mm lens on it. This is the closest thing to an heir apparent to my M6 which has been gathering dust for the last year and half. Actually, writing about how long it’s been since I’ve shot film could be another post entirely. Where was I? Right. Fantastic camera. My current workflow is Aperture. And that’s where digital…

Goodbye St. John and iPhonetography

We left St. John yesterday. Back to the grind of the real world. The good news is that I’ve got a 147 frames to edit through, so I can sort of relive things for a little while. I snapped these two shots with the iPhone on the ferry and had posted them to my Flickr account, Twitter and Facebook before we set foot on St. Thomas. (There’s still some issues with the WordPress iPhone app that need to be worked out a bit.) I’ve gotten some questions about how I’ve processed some of these. So here’s the scoop: A few weeks ago, I apparently drank some of the Chase Jarvis Kool-Aid. The flavor being the…

Welcome to St. John

After a very long day we made it to St. John just as the sun set behind us. Shot this with iPhone and tweaked it with Ps.com’s mobile app. I’ve definitely started drinking the Chase Jarvis Kool-Aid. Of course, I took some with the G9 too but without a laptop this is the only way to post for this trip.
