Napa, CA

My wife and I recently took a vacation to California with our good friends, the Whittlesey’s. We spent several days in San Francisco and then drove up to Napa to tour some of the wineries. Here is a link to the web page we created: http://web.mac.com/clawery/iWeb/Site/Napa.html

Shooting with Mamiya 645AFDII & P30+

April 21, 2008 | Tips & Tech Support, Chris

Over the weekend I was shooting for an old client of mine.  We were shooting small products for their catalog and web.  We were cooking through the shoot when we came to a group of 10 products that were all similar shape, but different colors.  I had my assistant just quickly drop and I would shoot away.  I started quickly popping through them, but at the end of the 10 items, realized that my C1 Pro had shut down.  I was amazed that all I did was re-launch my software and watched my files pop in to C1 Pro.  I didn’t loose any of the shots!

Atlanta’s tornado

March 18, 2008 | News, Chris

I was out of town on vacation when the F2 tornado hit downtown Atlanta. Luckily the SEC between Alabama and Mississippi went into overtime. If it had not, there could have been several thousand people heading back to their hotels or cars and the casualties could have been unbelievable. Our office is only about one mile from where it hit and we were spared, but I wanted to see what the damage was. I’ve attached a few pictures to show some of the damage.

More photos after the jump

C1 4.0 launches when I sync my iPhone

February 6, 2008 | Tips & Tech Support, Personal Blogs, Chris

Everyone that I know that has an iPhone loves it. I have found one little bug if you have Capture One 4.0 loaded on your Mac and try to sync your iPhone, it launches Capture One and iTunes at the same time. Here is a work around that Doug Peterson told me:

1. Open Spotlight

2. In the Spotlight window type “image capture”

3. Image Capture should show up under Applications

4. Open Image Capture and go to preferences

5. Under the General go to Camera

6. Choose No Application and this should solve your issue

Who is Chris?

November 14, 2007 | Personal Blogs, Chris

I was born in Springfield, MA, but moved to Florida when I was only 5. Growing up in the South was quite different. The different food, dialects and of course the heat. Growing up in Florida made my holidays very different. Imagine having Christmas dinner and opening presents, then going boating in shorts.

In future blogs, I’ll show you more about who I am and what I do in my spare time. The one thing I’m really missing currently is my diving. I took up scuba diving in high school, but three years ago I took the plunge and finally got my own gear. I went full steam ahead with several buddies and racked up over 50 dives in just a couple of years. We have dove several caverns in Florida and made a great trip to Bonaire.

I’ll have more soon…
