Erics Picture a Week Blog

This is my new site for my 2007 Picture a Week project. In 2006 I moved to a photoblog format and feel very comfortable with it. This site allows me to post more than one picture per week. Of course it tells if I don't keep up with the weekly posting. Also included is the archive for my 2005 Picture a Week project.

Just a regular guy wandering the many paths of life. I'm trying to document part of these travels through my photography and also express my creativity through woodworking and building things.

Week 35 NASA


We visited NASA during our trip to Florida. This is one of the unused Saturn rockets from the Apollo days.

Week 34 St. Augustine


We spent a day visiting St. Augustine. One of my favorite sights was the lighthouse.

Week 34


This is a view up the winding stairway to the top of the lighthouse. I didn't get any decent pictures at the top of the lighthouse as I was suffering from the heeby jeebies when I got to the top.

Week 34


The lighthouse also had a nice museum of nautical items for all to peruse.

Week 34


This guy was doing a little fishing off the beach at Coco Beach. We saw him reel in a half dozen fish while we were there. Didn't catch Barbara Eden, though.

Most of the pictures were taken with a 21mm, 40mm, or 90mm. These seem to have settled in as my go to setup when traveling. Ialso had a problem with fogged or heat stroke film during our vacation as I wasn't very happy with my results.
