How to get Lightroom 3 to import duplicate RAW and...
I’m knee deep playing around with and learning about my new D90 and so far I love it. One of the settings I’ve been wanting to use is the camera’s ability to shoot RAW (or in Nikon’s case, .nef files) and .jpeg files at the same time. But, when I plugged in the D90 for the first time and imported the files all I saw were the RAW files. I was puzzled as why Lightroom only...

Photographer Spotlight: Christopher O'Donnell
In my “Why start another photo blog?” post I mentioned that I would be highlighting photographers who’s work I find inspirational and moving in one way or another. Well, the first photographer I’d like to share and call attention to is Christopher O’Donnell (blog | portfolio) who’s work I found from a comment he left on another blog.
First, I’d like to...

Boston.com's Photographs of the Decade
I’m a huge fan of Boston.com’s The Big Picture blog and they recently put together 50 amazing photographs that visually define the news over the last 10 years. The images that Boston.com put together for this series speaks to the triumph and tragedy that surrounds us everyday and also sheds light on the great divides across our nations.
Some of the photographs are pretty graphic but...

Why start another photography blog?
I asked myself this very question over and over again over the course of a few weeks before I began Moo & Loo. Ultimately I decided to start this blog because I needed a place to share not only my photography, but also the things that inspire me as a photographer and a visual artist. Tumblr is a great format because it’s free and I can easily create simple posts to store and share all...

Moving on up with my new Nikon D90
Santa was good to me this year. He She (my wife) gave me the green light to pick up a new DSLR for Christmas this year and after tons of research and a lot of waffling back and forth, I decided on the Nikon D90. Why Nikon and why the D90?
I used to use and old Nikon N70 (film camera) and I still have 2 lenses that I wanted to be able to use again.
The D90 is the cheapest Nikon that will still...

iPhone Photography: Light Through The Tent
“Light” was my first subject/assignment in my Photo I class in college and ever since then I’ve kept a keen eye on how light can do amazing things to the most simple of subjects. Without some form of light a photograph can’t exist and if you notice it enough, light itself can become its own subject as it is here.
I caught this image on my iPhone while I was playing with...

David duChemin's "Within The Frame" Photography...
I’m a big fan of David’s work ( blog |portfolio |twitter ) and I was thankful to receive his first book, Within The Frame (<— not an affiliate link) from my sister for Christmas today. I haven’t had time to read much of the book but just thumbing it through it and looking at the images is a treat in and among itself. The text, I’m sure, is no less exciting.

“When words become unclear, I shall focus with photographs. When images become...”
– I shamelessly took this quote from The Giving Lens’s Facebook fan page (<— Link). I’ve been a huge fan of Ansel Adams for years and his wisdom both behind and away from the camera constantly amazes me and for that I am grateful.

So, what's up with the name Moo & Loo?
It’s simple really…My wife and I have 2 daughters their nicknames end in “Moo” and “Loo” so it seemed fitting to put the two together. Our oldest is only 4 and our little one is 17 months old and they are more of an inspiration and motivation to me than anything you’ll see here.
When I got a job and transitioned into the “real world” which...

WatchNational Geographic’s Most Incredible Photos: Afghan Warrior
Ever since my grandmother got me a subscription to National Geographic I’ve been a big fan of photojournalism. Now that I think about it, looking at all those magazines probably had more of an effect on my photography than I realize.
Anyway, I caught this show in TV tonight and it’s a very interesting look into how...

A new blog with a new direction: Photography
It’s hard to start over sometimes as is the case here but I’ve been looking for a place where I can create a photography journal of sorts and this is it. See, for 2 years I was the author of Building Camelot - a blog about being a father - but after we had kid #2 it slowly became more and more of a hassle to maintain plus my desire just wasn’t there anymore.
What prompted the...
