		<title>Can&#8217;t Get Enough</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Hopefully you are not tired about me carrying on about Zeiss lenses like a school girl in love with a doe-eyed rock star.  But this lens is like a rock star.  It&#8217;s a professional, it&#8217;s sexy, and my Zeiss 35mm is on tour in my neighborhood with it&#8217;s warm-up lens, the Zeiss 18mm. It&#8217;s also [...]]]></description>

		<title>My Zeiss Family Grows</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My somewhat disturbing fondness for my latest piece of glass &#8211; the Carl Zeiss 35mm f/2 &#8211; was so strong, and frankly quite fervent, that I decided to throw caution into the wind, damn my low bank account and upgrade ALL my gear to Zeiss.  Today, having successfully sold my ultra-wide Sigma and my Nikon [...]]]></description>

		<title>2:30am</title>
		<description><![CDATA[And I just can&#8217;t sleep.  I am head over heels in love with my Zeiss.  Been shooting a variety of things to get used to it and it is just amazing.  The performance on my D700 has been flawless and I am now saving to revise my entire line of lenses.  I plan to get [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Golden Hour</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I usually have something technical to say about my shots.  This isn&#8217;t one of those times.  It&#8217;s my 85mm f.1,8 on full manual (including focus) while laying on my back by the lake.  I&#8217;ll let the creamy colors say the rest!]]></description>

		<title>The Blue (Purple) Hour</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Getting up at the crack of dawn is an monumental feat for me.  The snooze alarm is my worst enemy in photography.  But actually taking that extra effort to roll out of bed (and stop dreaming of the D700x) can really pay off. The shot above was taken just before 5:00am &#8211; about 10 minutes [...]]]></description>

		<title>Rules to Tack Sharp Portraits</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Someone posed the question on Flickr today, asking my thoughts on getting tack-sharp photos.  Well, my theory is pretty simple, but would love to hear your thoughts as well: Tripod. No matter what. Sharp lens at it&#8217;s sweetest spot. (I like the Nikon 85mm @ f/4 range &#8211; give or take a bit) Tripod. Wired [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[If you are maniacal egocentric shooter and sheerly enjoy having people gawk at your photos to give you words of commendation and love, then smart tagging is a skill you really need to develop to feed your Ego.  Proper tagging will get your proper hits.  There are a mind boggling 60,000,000 sites out there with information [...]]]></description>

		<title>Winning Combo for Nikon &#124; D700 &#124; 85mm &#124; CS5</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The photo above says it all.  Jamming that 85mm onto my D700x (just kidding, it&#8217;s still a D700) is a dream.  First off, I feel the D700 is the strongest camera in the Nikon lineup, yes, even over the D3x. Paired with the Nikkor 85mm f/1.8 lens &#8211; a fraction of the price of the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Wether you are shooting with a bottom of the rack Canon EOS Rebel (and by no means is it a slouch), a phantom D700s / D700x / D800 or a top of the line Caddy of Cameras, the Nikon D3x, Adobe Photoshop CS5 is looking more and more like your weapon of choice.
