Thought of the Day

Some people try to turn back their odometers. Not me, I want people
to know why I look this way. I've traveled a long way and some of the
roads weren't paved.

Now a Resident of Phoenix

Located in the Ahwatukee area of Phoenix, AZ. Looking forward to playing some great golf and photographing the area.

First Desert Blossoms

Here is a shot of the first Desert Blossoms that I have taken. I am excited about taking shots of some of the older neighborhoods in Tucson, Arizona.

Global Warming in Spokane, WA

OK...there was no way that winter could be any worse than it was last year!

Again, I am proven to be incorrect. The picture is of me standing by the height of the snow bank down my driveway. I am 6'1" and it is taller than me. Today is January 5th and I am sure that we have more fun to look forward to. At least this year the well has only frozen once and I have lost power only once.

It has been an awsome experience to live on land so remote. The challenges have been only in the winter, driving down the 6 miles of county road.

Sensitive Model for new lens test

I just received my new Tokina 12-20 wide angle lens and wanted to do some test shots. Living remote, it is hard to find models. I originally purchased the lens for architectual photography, but wanted to see if it would produce a different perspective with pet photography for more pet photography click here.

My model, refused to look at me through 90 shots, so I finally gave up.

The Peak of Harvest Season

The Inland Northwest is were I grew up and to the south is the "Palouse" wheat country. This year I wanted to make sure that I photographed the harvest.

This is one of the shots that I took and it is titled "Racing the Rain". As, rain had put a stop to the harvest and it was delayed this year, until late. Rain is very bad for the market value of wheat and is crucial to the farmers.

I captured this team getting in their crop just before the rain moved in.
