A Brief Treatise on Scotch Whisky
Written by Webmaster   
Monday, 07 January 2008

If you enjoy single malt Scotch as much as I do, you may be interested in the Scotch Malt Whisky Society.

First, if you're going to get serious about single malts, you should have a good guide. I like Michael Jackson's Complete Guide to Single Malt Scotch. It looks something like this (depending on the year you buy it):

It is well written and contains good tasting notes on hundreds of single malts. (Oh, and that's me next to the book, with bottles of Bruichladdich and Springbank.) By buying this book, you can gain, in a few pages, a much better understanding of Scotch malt whisky, single malt whisky, etc., than I can give you here. But, if you don’t want to buy the book, read on.

Africa

Obviously, I'm not a professional photographer.  I'm just a serious amateur.  I take my lessons and buy all my equipment from Mark Comon at Paul's Photo in Torrance, CA.  You won't find a better teacher or a better camera shop.

Photography Software

Anyone who has taken digital photographs has used (or tried to use) some kind of software to do something with it.  The more you fool around with digital photography, the more you fool around with the software that can help you.  Here's my current opinion, based on my limited experience.

Hawaii

Hawaii is one of our favorite places in the world.  It's as much a state of mind as it is a destination.  As soon as we step off the plane we start to relax, and as we drive to wherever we're staying we continue to unwind, and not long after that, we notice that we're always walking around with goofy smiles on our faces.

Safari Photography

Being a serious amateur photographer, going to Africa was a dream trip, albeit one over which I fretted a lot. I say again, a lot. When going to Africa to photograph on safari, there is much about which one can fret.

Anyway, I read numerous web articles about it, several of which were very helpful. I suggest that you read these:
