Some shots from our trip to Canada to see our two favorite third wave ska bands play back-to-back shows in Toronto and Montreal.

Friggin Map!™

Our annual post-SXSW getaway took us to Matagorda Bay. Despite the rattlesnake in the dunes, mosquitos at the beach house, flies on the beach and brush fire across the street, we had a really good time.

Friggin Map!™

Went on my first Google+ Photo Walk. We cruised around downtown Austin making our way through the rain from Bar96 to The Driskill.

Christmas Lights at ISO 12800

Like a lot of families, mine used to drive around and look at the Christmas lights in our neighborhood. This year, The Wife and I spent Christmas Eve driving in the rain to Houston. These were our Christmas Lights.

The Wife and I spent 7 days driving nearly 900 miles in and around the Rocky Mountains, where I got to put my new camera into action.

Friggin Map!™

Scenes from our post-Irene adventure on the Outer Banks. AKA: The Trip Where I Broke My a200.

Panoramas of Downtown Austin

Got a message from my friend David inviting me to join him for a shoot from the 16th floor of the Hyatt. We'd been denied access a few months ago, but he kept talking to them about it and got us in.

Some shots from my trip to West Virginia: Coopers Rock, Larry's house, Muddy Falls, Keyser, Mt Storm, Dolly Sods, Greenland Gap

Zilker Botanical Garden

I returned to Zilker Botanical Garden as part of Convio Cares Week. When we were done planting and mulching, I grabbed my photo gear and wandered around for a bit. It turned out that all of the good stuff was right up by the parking lot.

Monterey County, CA

Photos from our post-festival getaway weekend in Monterey County, CA.

SXSW: Everything

My first year with a photo badge. One of my Dave Grohl shots almost made the cover of SXSWorld Magazine, but was rejected in favor of "big hair and smoke".

SXSW: Funny or Die

The Funny or Die crew explaining the "upfunnel" concept.

Random shots of random people

SXSW: Foo Fighters

My first time shooting from a pit, these were taken at Stubb's during the Interactive closing party.

Downtown with David

I had just gotten my 200mm f/2.8 and David complains that he doesn't shoot enough, so we hit downtown Austin on a Saturday afternoon to see what we could see.

I'd been wanting to put together a book, but hadn't found the right inspiration. A sunny afternoon in my mother-in-law's origami studio allowed me to find what I was looking for.

Iceland: Everything

We wanted to one-up our wedding in Hawaii, and we liked the idea of going to another volcanic island. Iceland was a perfect fit. I used this trip to put my f/1.7 prime lens to the test, swapping it out only for a rare zoom or wide-angle shot. The full collection of 90 photos is in this gallery, and selected collections are also available.

Iceland: Around Reykjav�k

Shots from Reykjav�k during our 3 days there.

One flower and a couple of leaves add color, but this gallery is predominantly green.

Iceland: Waterfalls

It had been raining for a while before we got over there, and there was certainly plenty more during our visit. As a result, we got to see lots of waterfalls that normally wouldn't have been flowing, and the year-round falls were roaring at higher-than-normal volumes.

Iceland: Icebergs

Icebergs in and around J�kuls�rl�n, the only glacial lagoon in Iceland currently connected to the ocean.

Iceland: Land-scapes and sea-scapes

Glaciers, beaches, rocks

Greenland from 30,000 feet

I've never had much luck with shooting from planes, but when the clouds broke over southern Greenland, I figured I'd better shoot as much as I could. I managed to get three decent shots.

Out at the old lime kiln

Jamie and I went on a photoshoot with some of my coworkers

Balcones District Park

Walking around a local neighborhood park

Around the beach house

Just some things that caught my eye

Dogs on the beach

Dogs love water - that's a given. A lesser-known fact is that chihuahuas are extremely tolerant of the sand.

Shot in the (faux) dark

Shot in my living room, but done in such a way that they appear to be shot in total darkness. Degree of difficulty: manual focus

Photos from our Santa Fe getaway. Lots of wide-angle lens goodness.

Ambushed in their own backyard.

The Neighbors' Dogs

Some shots of Serpico and Ezio hanging out at Casa Friggin

Miller Family Reunion 2009

2 states. 8 days. 10 galleries. 335 photos.

Reunion: Around Boston

Random stuff from our 2.5 days in downtown Boston.

Reunion: Whale Watching

Shots taken during our whale watching trip. Low light plus moving targets plus long range plus moving photographer made it challenging to get good shots, but there are a couple sharp ones in here.

Reunion: New England Aquarium

Inside the aquarium. Lots of penguins, some seals, a couple jellyfish.

Reunion: Somerville, MA

In and around Doug and Stacy's house and neighborhood.

Reunion: Around Camp

Miscellaneous shots in, around and of the cabin (area).

Reunion: Lake Winnipesaukee

Shots of the lake, Wiers Beach, moonrise on Tuesday night

Reunion: On the Boat

Pictures of people while they're on the boat

Reunion: Golfing

Bob, Joan, Matt, Gil and Eric hit the links

Reunion: Tubing

Matt and the girls doing some tubing

Reunion: Weirs Beach

We spent the weekend on Mustang Island with some friends. Lots of good photo opps during the 4-hour drive to the coast and plenty more once we got there.

Texas Hill Country

Took my folks out to Cooper's for lunch and ended up at some sort of old-timey fair.

Ferry to Bainbridge Island

Photos from the ferry and in and around Eagle Harbor on Bainbridge Island, WA.

Redskins at Cowboys

Skins won a close one and are now 1-2 at Texas Stadium when I'm in the stands. They're undefeated with Jeff and Monica there.

Random shots of our friends' cat hanging out at Casa Friggin while they're out of town.

Pictures of squirrels that hang out around our house.

We had such a good time last year, we went back for two weeks this time. This time we went during lobster season, which is also the beginning of the rainy season.

MRJ Inagural Golf Classic

The Miller Men hit the links for a little friendly competition. On this day we all had the same handicap: 3 people sharing 2 incomplete sets of 30-year old golf clubs.

You better Belize it!

My buddies Chuck and Debbie got married on Ambergris Caye, an island we would eventually admit to liking more than we liked Oahu.

One of my cats-in-law. Farewell, little buddy.

Texas Hill Country

Spent our first anniversary at a little place on Lake Buchanan. After a summer of record heat and drought in Central Texas, we could barely see the lake from our cabin.

Jamie's mom had never been, and it wasn't obnoxiously hot that day, so we went.

Trip to NY and CT

A couple days in New York to see some old friends and catch a Sonic Youth show, then off to Connecticut for a cousin's wedding.

The last stop on our 3-concert, 4-day tour following Sonic Youth around Texas.

Jamie had never been, so six weeks after our first honeymoon, we went on a second.

Hawai'i, y'all!

Photos from our trip to Oahu to get married.

Official Wedding Photos

Scans of the photos shot on film by our photographer (whose name we can't recall).

Fancy new site features:

Friggin Map!™
My a55 has the ability to tag photos with GPS data. It doesn't seem to be 100% accurate, but when it's off, it's not off by much.
