I've been very busy shooting, which leaves me not so much time for editing. With the new year, I spent several days bringing my website back up to speed. Nearly sixty new images have been added... 03 Jan 2010 09:37:26 EDT http://www.hbutz.com/wwwboard/messages/265.html I'm stuck on a Mac with Tiger 10.4 using Windows20000 for my video editing.

Dozens of mats and frames to choose from and you can see your finished print right on-line before you buy. How cool is that? 07 May 2009 17:26:29 EST http://www.hbutz.com/wwwboard/messages/261.html It seems like just last month I made some significant updates to the website... so, I'm calling this a major overhaul.

Better photographers make better photographs... 28 Jan 2008 08:29:06 PDT http://www.hbutz.com/wwwboard/messages/252.html From Dam Square, adjacent to the Krasnapolsky Nh Grand Hotel is rather depressing looking street by the name of Warmoesstraat, which looks like an alley behind a row of stores.

This time, we did some body painting. More to follow. 16 Oct 2006 12:07:04 PDT http://www.hbutz.com/wwwboard/messages/241.html Often, a model might be more expensive because they've added a new feature which you don't need. For an extra $25, the T3 might be a package deal which includes a CD ROM of software which you will never use. Or, it may just be the market which has driven it up because it's black instead of silver. Black cameras fetch more money on the market because they look cool... 16 Oct 2006 11:36:14 PDT http://www.hbutz.com/wwwboard/messages/239.html Today, the Microsoft PC platform is as bad as Apple was in the 80's. I cannot purchase games for my computer. Although my computer is over 1000 times faster than the one I used twenty years ago, it's still too slow to run games on. 13 Sep 2006 10:08:38 PDT http://www.hbutz.com/wwwboard/messages/237.html While the feds are spending my tax dollars to force me into spending more money to maintain a website which costs me money, I've decided that PICS tags are pretty useless at this point... 18 Jul 2006 07:05:54 PDT http://www.hbutz.com/wwwboard/messages/235.html Teachers Federal Credit Union opened a branch in Central Islip - a bit odd, since C.I. is not exactly the nicest of neighborhoods, but it's on the way home from work.

We live on a godless planet of primitive beings. We are born from the fires of Eat or Be Eaten. While we love nature, we bring our insect repellent and watch out for bears... 17 Sep 2005 05:50:13 PDT http://www.hbutz.com/wwwboard/messages/216.html I've updated my art nude section with some latest photographs of a very lovely model.

The answer is: Probably not. 01 Jun 2005 08:20:03 PDT http://www.hbutz.com/wwwboard/messages/207.html Landscape photography is so very big. Several times, while photographing the lighthouses of New England, I started with the best of intentions. I would take notes, I tried to spell "Annisquam"... and, I'd give up... 22 May 2005 13:58:46 PDT http://www.hbutz.com/wwwboard/messages/206.html I have added Spring updates to the website, including many new color digital images of a lovely model.

You just have to multiply a few numbers together to prove it to yourself. 20 Mar 2004 21:03:00 EST http://www.hbutz.com/wwwboard/messages/165.html Why do they make airplanes out of aluminum instead of lead? Because aluminum weighs less. Why does aluminum weigh less than lead?
