Spring…again Although I’m still showing some photos of spring, yesterday and today have officially met the criteria for summer, with our current temperature in Princeton at 13:30 being approximately 87 degrees F! Also, for those of you who have been missing the Espen photos, a new post is coming shortly to his blog, at nextgeneration.joelbock.com.
Joel these are both beautiful shots…it’s incredible the way that the water is clinging onto each little pinnacle (probably not the right word…but it works eh?), especially in the bottom shot. I love the colors in the bottom shot too…spring is so incredible. Can’t wait to shoot with you when you get back! Hope it’s a beautiful day in Princeton today…and we’re going to have to do some flyfishing as well!
Gradations of spring… When I stepped outside today I was met with a mild humidity, covered by soft gray clouds. The earth was vibrant with the color and contrast left by the recent thunderstorms, where all things seems to reveal their true shades. University building stones popped with saturated texture, whereas before they had been...

Surprise snow storm in Princeton… Yep, we had some snow roll in on Sunday night and I got out for a few shots today before it completely melted for the season. Here’s a few shots from around the Princeton Theological Seminary campus. And, on another note. As I eluded to in an a comment on...

We’re already ready! Leah and I are so excited that you guys are coming back! Great snow shots Joel, I really like the bud on the tree branch. Enjoy the snow while you got it because there’s none of that going on here, but it is however sunny and beautiful.
WOOT! i mean, that’s cool.
What does one do when you have too much time on your hands? Well, last week I geeked out and tested my lenses to see which one could get the closest to a subject and still keep it in focus. Here are my results: Now, the fun part. For anyone who wants to join in...

oh, ok. Here’s another stab at it–going top down. My votes go as follows:
1) 100mm
2) 85mm
3) 16-35mm
4) 50mm
5) 24-70mm
okay, after assigning each photo a number and then calling out a lense while rolling a die it goes (from the top down): 100mm; 16-35mm; 70-200mm; 85mm; 50mm; 24-70mm.
Starting from the bottom up I think it goes, 100mm, 24-70mm, 16-35mm, 50mm, 85mm, 70-200mm.
Sorry, just to clarify, each picture is taken with a different lens. Whoever can match the most correct photos with the right lens (each photo is from a different lens) is what I’m aiming at. Sorry, and thanks for helping me clarify, Sarai!
I’m going to take a guess at the 24-70mm, not for any educated reason… just because that’s my guess. 
[...] I have results in for the earlier pop quiz in my Geekin’ out post. We actually had a tie between Sarai and Bryan, and as I think Bryan has won in the past [...]
I was impressed that the frost lasted all day. But I didn’t want to take any chances at 10 in the morning, so I went out and got these shots. I was also impressed that it snowed a full blanket, especially when the news stations were completely astonished that they were receiving reports of snow! ...

Frost to the leaves and flowers made the images very stunning.
Joel these shots in particular are so aesthetically pleasing! You have a real gift my friend.
Whoah! These are gorgeous! The frost gives such great outlines to all the natural shapes. Beautiful.
