I try not to use photos from my day job in my 365, but sometimes the equipment I photograph is really interesting. This is part of a endoscopy camera unit. Probes are connected to this device then inserted in to your body to make images and video of your insides. Pretty cool stuff!

Day 244 of 365 – Beard Season
Day 243 of 365 – Bootstrap
This photo sums up my Saturday night pretty well. I stayed home and built a new website with the Bootstrap framework. I am super impressed by how quickly I was able to build a site that behaved well across multiple browsers and platforms with it’s responsive CSS. I have not been able to work on the site or the logo much since then but you can check it out at http://www.ribizphoto.com
Day 242 of 365 – Moms Kitchen
My mother has decided to sell her house, so I have been helping her get the property ready to be shown to potential buyers. Photographing the house I grew up in, and helped build, so it can be put up for sale was a bit emotional. It was also pleasantly nostalgic experience. All the good times, bad times, laughs and cries shared in this kitchen over the years will be ingrained in my head for the rest of my life. It’s not the fanciest house, but it was our house, and it will be missed.

Day 240 of 365 – Stress Relief
Day 240 of 365 – Stress Relief
When life gets hectic, I can always count on taking photos to help me relieve some stress. It’s even more therapeutic when I have a fellow photographer to shoot and talk about nerdy camera stuff with. I finally talked Sam Henry in to starting his own 365 project, so on Wednesday night I went out with him to take some photos for our projects. You can check Sam’s photo from this evening here: http://samhenryphotography.com/?p=178
Sam’s focus was the bridge, my focus was on capturing a photo of Sam making his 365 photo. My attempts at capturing Sam do his thing in this lighting environment where quite bad, so I turned my attention elsewhere. While Sam was shooting the highway, I noticed a big hole in the fence that separates the sidewalk from the freeway. I tried a few different shots and angles, but this macro of the fence was by far my favorite shot of the night. The fence’s blue tone was unintentional, but it ended up complimenting the whole shot nicely.
Here is one of the shots of Sam capturing his project. 365ception!
Day 239 of 365 – Scariest room in the house
Nothing used to spook me more than being asked to open the bulk head doors to my mothers basement. Opening the door to that dark stairway, usually covered in cobwebs and spiders, would instantly make the hair on the back of my neck rise. No matter what I did, I would always feel like a spider was on my body. I would run in, unlock the door, then get the heck out of there as fast as possible. Now things are a bit different, there is a light in that little tunnel, and I have since cleaned it up so there are minimal webs and spiders.

Day 237 of 365 – Snow on Trees
Day 236 of 365 – Side Dish
I gave this recipe for Skillet Black Beans with Potatoes and Tortillas I found over at Veg Kitchen a shot on Saturday night. Since it was dinner time there was no natural light, I also did not want to get the umbrellas out for a photoshoot of my food before enjoying it with a friend. I bounced my flash off the ceiling and thought I got a decent shot, but it turned out to be very soft. Luckily I took some photos of the salad we had before the main dish.
Day 235 of 365 – Moon on Fire
When I left work on Friday evening, the moon was low, big, and shining with a bright yellowish orange color tone. It looked like it was on fire. I really wanted to get an awesome “big moon” shot but I did not have my long range lens or an interesting foreground to work with. I did not even have my tripod on me! I drove towards the moon and hoped for the best. I ended up on one of the finishing docks in New Bedford, MA. I used one of the wooden barriers as a tripod and this was the result.
This is a multi-image composition composed of 5 different exposures and 1 image isolated on the moon.
Day 234 of 365 – Batteries

Day 232 of 365 – What holidays are all about
This little guy sure made my Christmas pretty awesome.
I have been a Grinch the last few Christmas’s, the whole season went from being a magical time with family and friends, to a hectic disaster every year. With William around, everything has changed. I now look forward to the season so I can hang out with him and the choo choo trains under the tree while watching his amazement at all the people and lights the holiday brings about.
I can never seem to get a nice sharp shot of Will in doors, the little guy just loves to move around… a lot. Much respect for the photographers who make a living photographing children.
Day 231 of 365 – colormunki
I spent most of my Christmas Eve printing, framing, and wrapping Christmas gifts. This was my Christmas present to myself – an X-Rite colormunki. This little ball of awesome is a monitor calibration device. It makes sure all my monitors are calibrated to their peak color reproduction performance. Now all my images look consistent across multiple display and print environments. Now what I see on the screen, is exactly what prints on paper. After you calibrate your monitor, the calibrator stays connected to your computer and measures ambient light in your room and changes the display settings automatically depending on your lighting environment.
I really have no idea why I let myself go so long without buying one of these, I highly recommend any monitor calibration system to all digital photographers.
Day 230 of 365 – Fundraisers
On Sunday I was kicking it with Dan Riti when he started going through the raffle tickets from the date auction at DGAF. Dan suggested it would be a good idea to use the tickets as a 365 photo and I am glad he did. Every single person who bought 1 ticket, or 40 tickets, helped to make a local families Christmas that much better.
Day 229 of 365 – D.G.A.F.
I was not expecting this Saturday to be my last time shooting DGAF, but I guess that’s the way things go sometimes. I have had a blast taking photos of you all for the past 2 years. So many great memories and great friends have been made that it’s hard to remember them all. I might not be shooting DGAF any longer, but I am not leaving the scene any time soon. I will catch all of you again I am sure, until then I will miss you.
The following image is composed of almost all the photos I have taken at DGAF over the years. A HUGE thank you to everyone who has helped make each and every one of these 4000+ memories.
