What a great way to remember you father, Cheryl. I'm sure that means a lot to you and the family.

We lost my dad 35 years ago at the age of 48. He was a lettercarrier and we still receive mail-themed Christmas ornaments from family and friends. This is how we remember my Dad at Christmas.

Hello! This is Dominic's friend Jordan, who you all very graciously let join for Christmas 2019 (and then who proceeded to stay in your basement for a few days afterwards). Dom sent me here to show off photos "much better than he could ever take." I wanted to comment to say that they are fantastic - even and especially the selfies! I am so glad to see that you got to travel with him, had so much fun together, and managed to capture it along the way. My well-wishes and eternal gratitude to all the Lucero clan. Please never stop sending Christmas cards.

Sharpener Pro 3 looks best to me. Very natural and pleasing to the eye.

You have such good depth of field for wide aperture, and such even lighting, even around the lights. I'm impressed.

Monica: No flash (except a couple outdoors), just high ASA and wide aperture.

I had a chance to meet these monks when they came to Sturgeon Bay for a presentation about Eastern Catholicism. Now I get a chance to "see" their monastery. Beautiful photos! Did you use a flash? It doesn't look like it, and yet the photos are so sharp, even in mid-action.

Helen is the queen of customer service. Thanks, Helen.
BTW: Someone asked why the orange rubber wristband around the lens focus ring? Out of habit I use them on my lenses because the rubber focus rings on older lenses have come loose. Since I'm a Catholic press photographer, I use the wrist bands given from friends in Utah -- of all places: "Catholics Totally Rock."

Thanks for your post, Michael. The D700 is a great camera. I'm sure you'll agree. And the iPhone4 is a real fun toy, especially the camera. As I tell people, the best camera is the one you're carrying and more often than not, it's my iPhone.

Awesome snaps! I've been shooting for 3 years with a Nikon D300 and renting a D700 when needed for low light sports assignments and photo shoots...glad to say I just received my new D700 yesterday...also upgrading from Blackberry to iPhone4 for a Father's day gift this weekend...can't wait to start using the iPhone4 for my take along camera....

As a photographer (term used very loosely here) and Catholic, I loved this article. I've always wanted to find a way to marry the two, and to read this article is testament to great opportunities that God can bring one's way...pray for me that God may lead me to a good way of tithing my second "T" of the Three "T"s of tithing..

Haring is far too modest. He has taken many engaging photos of the pope, and the people who come to see the pope. And of St Peter's Square! The photos of the beatifcation of Blessed John Paul II were just brilliant; I was so sad I could use only a couple of them in our newspaper.

However, Peroni is a dreadful beer.

Yeah...that top ten list is good stuff.

Who knew Catholics had a sense of humor?

Thank you for the history here! I was wondering how it started.

Catholic Rules for Twitter made this year's April Fool's Day for me the best one ever.

God Bless!
