This picture was taken at Hilton Head, South Carolina with a Canon PowerShot SD800 IS. I was also using the Canon WP-DC9 WaterProof Case at the time to protect it from sand, salt, and moisture.

This summer my family and I went back to Portland, Oregon to visit. I planned a triumphant return to the beer and the brewpubs, but naturally my son and I got sick on the first day and I was in no condition to taste or even smell beer for the entire week. What a bummer.

I did manage to take this snapshot of the most visited spot in Oregon with my Canon PowerShot SD800 IS. Enjoy!

You just can’t overdo Christmas

It was an interesting day in Baltimore’s Inner Harbor yesterday. We stopped by the Capital City Brewing Company for lunch and then watched several hundred tuba players performing the 23rd Annual Merry Tuba Christmas concert. Suddenly we were besieged by hundreds of drunken Santa’s engaged in the 15th Annual Santa Pub Crawl. Is this a great country or what?
