		<title>Lightroom 4 beta in the real world</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I had an architectural interior shoot this week that provided me the perfect opportunity to put the Lightroom 4 beta through its paces in a real-world situation. Much as I would love to move my entire collection over to LR4 right now, it is still only in beta. The prudent thing is to wait until [...]]]></description>

		<title>Re-learning to ride a bike</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Things generally slow down for me around the holidays and it takes a while for business to get back up to speed again afterwards. That pattern works well for me. I like to take that &#8220;quiet time&#8221; to re-focus on the coming year and to catch up on in-house activities like self promotion, learning new [...]]]></description>

		<title>Year in Review: 2011</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Travel started earlier than usual for me in 2011 with a short trip to San Diego in January. The warm weather was welcome as we were having one of our snowiest years on record back home: In early April, I escaped the cold once more for a couple of weeks in Fiji. I was there [...]]]></description>

		<title>Ulva Island details, New Zealand</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Happy New Year, everyone! I&#8217;m wrapping up my New Zealand posts with some details from the Ulva Island hike I wrote about in my last post. Some more New Zealand shots may appear later on, but I think I should shake things up for a little variety around here. I&#8217;ve been spending the holidays working [...]]]></description>

		<title>Rainy day strategies</title>
		<description><![CDATA[[sponsored post] Stewart Island lies off the southern tip of New Zealand&#8217;s South Island. In this shot we&#8217;re just over the peninsula from the Island&#8217;s one town, Halfmoon Bay, and are overlooking Golden Bay, Thule Bay and the Paterson Inlet. Today&#8217;s destination is Ulva Island &#8212; a small, 670 acre island in Paterson Inlet that [...]]]></description>

		<title>Nugget Point, NZ</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The view from the platform of the Nugget Point Lighthouse on the southeast coast of New Zealand&#8217;s South Island. Few places I&#8217;ve been have felt more like standing at the end of the world. The next thing over that horizon is Antarctica. An amazing spot, but not our last stop. We were still heading south&#8230;]]></description>

		<title>The 10 minute waterfall shoot</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I spotted the potential problem when I was typing up my itinerary before even leaving for New Zealand. On the day that we would be driven down the coast from Dunedin to Invercargill, there would be a 10 minute stop to photograph Purakaunui Falls. That&#8217;s right &#8211; just 10 minutes. I&#8217;ll take a moment here [...]]]></description>

		<title>Yellow-Eyed Penguin encounter</title>
		<description><![CDATA[[sponsored post] It all started when we visited the fossilized forest at Curio Bay on New Zealand&#8217;s southeastern coast. In the photo above, you can see one of the ancient, petrified trees that are visible in the rock at low tide. We were told that the endangered Yellow-Eyed Penguins are frequently spotted in the area [...]]]></description>

		<title>New Zealand&#8217;s Otago Peninsula</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Add the Otago Peninsula to my list of favorite spots on earth. I made this image during a quick photo-stop on Highcliff Road. Actually, I think there would have been a mutiny had the driver not stopped. The scenery had been spectacular for several miles and the crowd of writers and photographers in the van [...]]]></description>

		<title>Operation Albatross</title>
		<description><![CDATA[[sponsored post] The next posts will explore the Otago Peninsula on New Zealand&#8217;s South Island. Dunedin is located where the peninsula joins the mainland and at the far tip of the peninsula is the Royal Albatross Centre, where I was to play wildlife photographer for the afternoon and try and get at least one decent [...]]]></description>
