I have been the team photographer for the Lehigh Valley Storm for the year. It has been an exciting opportunity and yet a challenge. This image was taken at their last home game against the Central Penn Piranha

The season for the Lehigh Valley Storm is almost underway. Saturday was a scrimmage with the Red City Outlaws. This was my first time shooting a scrimmage and it was a interesting to say the least. You really do have to stay on your toes as the play does not always end on the field. These guys are seriously talented and I look forward to getting some great images during the regular season.

HP C6380 Review

admin — Fri, 10 Jun 2011 18:37:06 +0000

This is not much of a review but more of a statement of disappointment. I had the printer close to a year and finally decided to give it the boot. I ran low on ink and it got the dreaded “ink initialization error”. If you do a google search on this you will find MANY users trying to resolve the same issue.
It turn out the error happens due to low or no ink in one of the cartridges. The printer suck air into the line and you get the initialization error. If this were a pro printer, I would understand but this is just a consume model. I was able to resolve the issue three times. It happened again and I just could not take it any longer. If it happens to you. Follow the instructions below. It worked for me several times.

Press and Hold the Print Photos & Red Eye Removal button.
Release the buttons at the same.
1. Display should say Enter Special Key Combo
Press and release in sequence Red Eye Removal, Print Photos, Red Eye Removal
Press and release the right arrow button until the display says System Configuration Menu
1. Of course you are looking at the LCD panel on the printer
Press and release the ok button
Your display should SUPPORT now
Scroll to the right until you see the reset menu
Now press and release the ok button
Press the right arrow key to look for the menu Partial Reset and then press ‘OK
The printer will turn off and then power on by itself. Wait 20 seconds and if it does not power off and on, do it manually. This will give you a complete reset.

Hope you find this information useful. I really hope you do not have this printer.

For the record, I switched to Epson
