Something doesn’t fit in this pictures. I think it might be the memory cards, but I’m not sure.

Since I started my blog I have slowly gathered various discount/coupon codes for my readers. Yes, they are all affiliate links as well. That means not only do you save money but I also make bit as well. These discount codes have also been in the sidebar of my blog. I have now created a page dedicated to all the discounts I have to offer. The difference between my sidebar style list of discounts is information. On the discount page you will see that I added short descriptions of the companies and some of the products they offer. The page is still a work in progress but I hope it helps you save some money on future investments.

Scott

Nikon D700, 13 Exposures, ISO 100, 14mm, f/16, Promote Control

The Nikon 14-24mm f/2.8 lens is beautiful glass. It is very wide but not too distorted and also very sharp. It is by far one of my favorite lenses ever. In this photo I decided not to correct for the distortion because I love how the angle gives the viewer a sense of collapse and enclosure.

Taken in Boston, MA.

I hope you enjoy it. Thanks for reading and happy shooting,

Scott

Looks kind of silly right? Obviously I was taking a picture but it looks like I’m flexing. Please comment below with your title suggestion.

Welcome to the Mark Twain house

Scott — Mon, 30 Aug 2010 14:08:26 +0000

You have already seen one photograph from the Mark Twain house but Now I am showing you some others from my experience. The Mark Twain foundation does not allow photography inside of the house. I wish they would but what can I do, right? Much of the furniture inside of the house is original from when Samuel Clemens actually lived in the house. Oddly enough, not all of it was roped off. Visitors are warned not to touch anything inside the house and not to sit on any furniture. As tempting as it was, I obeyed. The inside of the house is beautiful. The design was done by Louis C. Tiffany of Tiffany & Co. Cool, right? Because I could not photograph the interior, here is a link to the museum’s website where you can see some of their photos.

“A man cannot be comfortable without his own approval.” – Mark Twain

Here are some facts about Samuel Clemens

Haley’s Comet was visible in the sky on the night that Samuel Clemens was both born and passed away. He also predicted his death.
During the Civil War, Samuel Clemens formed a Confederate militia known as the “Marion Rangers.” The militia disbanded after about two weeks
Samuel Clemens left Missouri after his militia disbanded and moved to Nevada. There he worked as a miner.
Prior to adopting Mark Twain as his pen name, Clemens wrote under the pen name Thomas Jefferson Snodgrass for a number of humorous pieces that he contributed to the Keokuk Post. The Thomas Jefferson Snodgrass book sells for $70.

Now for some of my photos.

Welcome to the Mark Twain house

This was my first view of the Mark Twain house from the parking lot. Quite stunning, isn’t it?

It's always sunny over Mark Twain's house

The view from Farmington Avenue. The house sits up on a hill.

Come on in

The front door where the butler, George, greets visitors and welcomes them inside. Samuel Clemens wrote the Huckleberry Finn character Jim after George. George was a slave before the war ended.

Just hanging out

This is where Samuel Clemens would relax on his rocking chair. There is a beautiful view of the Harriet Beecher Stowe house and other surroundings.

The red house

The house was built in 1874 by Edward Tuckerman Potter. Samuel Clemens and his wife wanted “a red house”. You have to love the detail.

Thanks for reading and happy shooting,

Scott
