The Getty Museum
The J. Paul Getty Museum is at the Getty Center in Los Angeles and exhibits a wide range of paintings, drawings, sculpture and photographs. It is a wonderful place to go and an incredible building to photograph.

I did not get the first version of the iPad, but decided that now’s the time. I was out of town when they were released so I didn’t get one that day. After I got home, I went to the Apple Store a couple of times to find lines of 20 or so ahead of me. On both of those occasions, someone from the store came out to let the people in the line know what was available and it was not what I wanted. I was looking to get a black WiFi iPad 2 with 64GB of memory. I decided to go ahead and order it online but the delivery is not scheduled until April 27th. Ughh!
My plan is to incorporate the iPad 2 into my photographic work.
I’ve started to compile a list of iPad Apps and accessories that I can use for photography. I plan to review them here after I’ve had a chance to use them. If you have any App suggestions, please feel free to leave me a comment.
It will also replace my Epson P5000 (80 GB) which was an invaluable backup resource during our trip to Africa. But now I’ll use the iPad 2 for that as well. The Epson P5000 will being going up on eBay after the iPad 2 gets here. Looking forward to it getting here!
Hi…
I’ve been away from the blog now for awhile and have been collecting ideas for how I want to improve it. I’ll be working on those ideas over the next month and you will begin to see more from me very soon.
By the way, my photo exhibit at Lithographix was great and I sold my favorite photo of the group, the panorama that wraps around the corner. The exhibit came down in early January. It was great fun and I was very happy to be a part of it. Thank you to those who were able to get over and see it.

I was invited to participate in a three person photography exhibit in Los Angeles. The exhibit is being hosted by Lithographix, “a premiere service company that specializes in visual communications.” The exhibit runs through the end of 2010. My contribution to the exhibit features photos from our African Safari in 2009. These and other photos from our African Safari can be seen at MSC Gallery.
Many thanks to Jenny Ford of Artists in the Trees for organizing this exhibit, Brian Campbell of Lithographix for Lithographix’ hospitality and Betty Shimotsuka for her wonderful catering of the opening reception.Read More
