Here is a photo of the studio where we record the Technology with Mike Video/Podcast. On the show I introduce internet start-ups and share tips for using computers and the internet. Find us at  techwithmike.com and subscribe to us on iTunes at  itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/technology-with-mike/i…77299

Let me know if you watch/listen to the show and what you think of it. I am always looking for ways to improve the overall content and delivery of the show.

It’s sad to say that I haven’t picked this thing up in a long time and jammed. I will make it my mission to setup the effects, the amp and the recording equipment and rock this axe out very soon!

Some people say they can see right through me. Well here’s a photo that proves that along with the fact that I’m not a vampire.

I had fun with this photo. I wanted to show refection, but I had to take it one step further. I am showing the reflection of myself and a room I am in along with my deck outside. I used the sliding glass door to perform the reflection by turning on the light of the room I was in and waiting until it got dark enough outside to show the desired effect.

A friend of mine did a cool photo show both his face and his reflection of his face in a mirror at an angle. I think I will try that at some point.

You would think that after more than 50 days of doing this, I would run out of ideas. But they just keep coming to me. I hope you enjoy!

We celebrated my mom’s birthday today. She got a lot of great gifts. If you know her, you know she is a collector of salt & pepper shakers and loves to solve jigsaw puzzles. My niece gave my mom this great gift she made herself. Great work Becky and very appropriate.

I can remember hours upon hours of fun with Lincoln Logs when I was a kid. It makes me smile to see my kids play with them.

When taking photos, I try to focus on capturing textures and patterns. It can be challenging, but it is also very rewarding. I will be focusing more on textures throughout the year. I hope you enjoy!

I try to be very organized when it comes to money. I take it as far as separate different containers for my pocket change. I know it sounds crazy, but so is trying to separate pennies, nickels, dimes and quarters when they are all mixed up together. So I have four separate containers. I do this so that I can roll them up and take them to the bank. I know there are money machines at the local grocery store, but they take a cut. If you bring them to the bank, they just either deposit them or give you bills. I once took over $300.00 in pocket change to the bank just because I had it built up for a long time. It’s almost time for another trip there soon! I just need to make sure i wrap them up. A good tip is next time you are at the bank, and I don’t mean online, ask them for a bunch of money rolls. They usually have no problem giving them out. Don’t go out and buy them, that’s a waste of money.

I have a desk lamp that has thirty Light Emitting Diodes (LED’s) that looked pretty cool when shooting directly into them. LED’s tend to be very bright which gave the effect of nothing else around it when a lens is pointed directly at it. I didn’t have to edit the photo. What I shot is what you see here. I think lights are one of my favorite things to photograph. Maybe I’ll try some halogen bulbs next.

My New Years resolution besides finishing this project was to try to change 1 thing in my life a month that would make me and my family greener and more environmentally conscious. It could be as simple as changing out some light bulbs with lower energy ones, which I did in the bathrooms. Here is a photo of my “Bright Idea”.

If you made a change to be greener, please share it with me.

Happy Valentines day everyone! Here is a photo I took of a rose. I was going to capture the entire bouquet, but I wanted to try out the macro feature on my camera. I hope you enjoy!

My son found a science experiment online where you take milk, food coloring and dish washing soap and make a really cool marble effect. You can find the steps on how to do this at  

along with an explanation of why it happens.

What do you see in this photo?
