  • An Evening Shoot

    If you read my last post, you know I have been frustrated by not having time to go out and shoot. I’m still pretty busy with other stuff, but did find a few hours last Thursday to sneak out with the camera. The evening sky was partially overcast with light clouds, which provided a nice…

  • A Long Engagement

    Since coming back from Spain, I’ve been catching up on things, so I haven’t had much time to blog. Last Saturday, I did have a chance to do some photography – a wedding. This wedding reminded me of why I am not fond of doing weddings. Though asking for a couple weeks, I didn’t learn…

  • What Goes Down, Must Go Up

    [vimeo http://www.vimeo.com/48755321 w=500&h=281] I previously mentioned that I am working on several personal photo projects. One of those has reached its conclusion.

Paradise is an amazing place in winter. The…

  • Scavenger Hunt

    Scavenger Hunt

    A couple of weeks ago, I participated in a “scavenger hunt” with the Sound Exposure Photo Club (of which I am a member). I thought I’d post about this event to give readers a break from my series about my trip to the Southwest. Photographers participating in the scavenger hunt receive a list of 20…

  • Better Late than Never

    Now that it’s March, it seems a bit late for this. But I haven’t blogged in over a week and need to get something out there to all my loyal readers (which I’m sure there is at least one, though I wouldn’t bet money on it). I’ve been in the midst of a computer upgrade…
