Scale Models of My F4U-1A Corsairs
I’ve repaired my 1/72 scale and 1/32 scale F4U-1A Corsairs that I built when I was a kid….some 35+ years ago. You can see the pictures I scanned here: ‘Old Plastic Models Found!‘.Had fun photographing them these last few evenings.

Fokker Dr.I Triplane in 1/72 Scale
I finished repairing my 1/72 scale Fokker Dr.I Triplane a few days ago. Set up my “studio” in the backyard and took a few photos of it, and also my Sopwith Camel together this afternoon. This time I used my 70-200mm f/4L lens as well as my 12mm, 20mm and/or 36mm Kenko extension tubes.

I found some of my plastic car models, some die-cast airplanes, but the box containing my Corsair has eluded me. Last week…

Going to Church
Our church has been undergoing a major renovation for over a year now. We have a new roof, new paint, removed some trees and made a new steeple. Since I’m also the our church’s webmaster, I thought I’d go out and take some new photos for the bulletin and website. In the morning I had…

A Half Day at Point Lobos
On Saturday morning 22 people piled into 4 cars for a day at Point Lobos State Reserve. It was our church’s youth group day, so photography wasn’t the top priority. We got there around 9:30, and we had reservations in Monterey at 1pm for lunch. That gave us about 2.5 hours. Not a lot of…

An American Beaver at the Grasslands
I stopped by the Great Valley Grasslands State Park Thursday morning on my way to my appointment at Stanford. When I first walked to where I thought I would shoot the sunrise, I heard splashing and saw the occasional head or tail above the water. I didn’t plan on taking any photos of the Beavers…
