Something Fishy
Monday, June 20th, 2011
Would you know this photo was taken with my fisheye lens if I didn’t tell you? Maybe if you look very closely, but I don’t think most viewers would notice. I like that. I’m pretty pleased with that lens because the fisheye effect is not overwhelming and I can often put together a photo that […]
Back To The Woods
Friday, June 17th, 2011
Here is Ikaros Ex again. This was taken on the second day of my Kentucky trip as we were hiking to a waterfall. This was on the trail where we later encountered the rattlesnake. It was about this time when we saw that huge bug on the trail. It was still way too hot, approaching […]
I’m In a Great New Magazine
Wednesday, June 1st, 2011
Open publication – Free publishing I had different plans for my next post, but a very nice surprise turned up today. That’s it above. A new magazine L’Allure des Mots has just published their first issue. There’s an interview with me, accompanied by a bunch of my favorite photos, starting on page 62. But the whole […]
The End of the Gorge
Monday, May 30th, 2011
Here are a couple more of Brooke in the gorge location. There are more from this shoot that I could post, but in my next post I plan to move on to something else that Brooke and I did while she was here. It is truly something completely different, so come back in a couple […]
More From The Gorge
Wednesday, May 25th, 2011
Here are a couple more photos of Brooke Lynne from our shoot near my childhood home. Brooke seems to be doing well over in the south of France where she is spending the summer modeling for painters. You can follow her adventures on her blog. I’m starting to get a little caught up on stuff, […]
Light At The End of The Tunnel
Thursday, May 19th, 2011
One of the features of the place I took Brooketo shoot when she was here is an old railroad tunnel. It provides some interesting lighting opportunities. And it gave me a place to do another fisheye shot that doesn’t look all that “fishy.” It’s fun exploring the characteristics of a new lens and learning what […]
Off The Road At Last
Sunday, May 15th, 2011
I love to travel. But for the past two weeks it’s been pretty much constant travel and I’m really ready to stop and hang out at home for a bit. I’m taking a day off today, after finally getting back home to stay for a while last night. Tomorrow I’ll get to work trying to […]
More on the rocks
Thursday, May 5th, 2011
After wandering through the old canal lock and stopping to smell the flowers Brooke and I came upon this lovely cliff face and stopped for a few more photos. Again, I had always known there were photos here to be taken, but the combination of this location with all its memories for me and my […]
Spring Flowers
Monday, May 2nd, 2011
The wild flowers were starting to bloom when Brooke and I were out taking photos near my childhood home. This patch of “Blue Bells” was particularly nice, so we decided to try to make some photos there. Wild flowers with nudes seldom work, but I think these came out ok. What I’m finding interesting is the […]
It’s A Lock…
Wednesday, April 27th, 2011
…An old canal lock, that is. A canal used to run through this old area near my childhood home. The remains of one of the locks is still there. Natural rocks can make a great background for figure photos, but man-made rocks can work as well. I spent most of the day yesterday editing just […]
