More Char…and a Movie Rant
Wednesday, April 6th, 2011
Wow, there must be a lot of Char Rose fans out there. I don’t follow all that closely how many people visit my blog, but I couldn’t help noticing that visitors almost doubled after I posted that last photo of Char. Since I’m not really saying anything of note here, it has to be Char […]
Dirty Time
Wednesday, February 9th, 2011
It’s almost time for the Dirty Show. It opens Friday night. I’ll be there with some friends on Saturday night. They said they would give me a photographer pass this year, so I should have a Nikon around my neck and be working on doing a bunch of photos of the evening’s activities. Say hi […]
All New Except for the Old
Saturday, January 29th, 2011
I finally got to do a shoot with my new Nikon D7000. And I ended up doing that shoot with a “new” model, at least new to me. Char Rose and I had been trying for a long time to set up a first “get acquainted” shoot, and finally managed to do that yesterday. Based on […]
Not Politically Correct
Wednesday, July 14th, 2010
Sorry it has taken me so long to get back here to respond to Mo’s comment. It’s been a busy time. The long drive back from Vermont and trying to catch up on things from being gone almost two weeks…then my son had to go into the hospital. Nothing too serious, but still much more […]
What’s wrong with people?
Saturday, December 5th, 2009
It’s rant time. You have been warned. I just can’t get used to how rude and stupid people can be when they post comments on the internet. I’m especially annoyed by the cowards who attack people anonymously. A very good friend of mine has recently been the victim of some of these internet bullies. Dave […]
2257 Rant
Tuesday, March 17th, 2009
I’m mad as hell and I’m going to vent about it. The draconian, unconstitutional provisions of an extremely poorly written law go into effect tomorrow. This law violates my constitutional right to freedom of expression. I take violations of my rights very seriously. I spent most of my life working to defend the United States, […]
Under The Wire
Monday, March 16th, 2009
Here’s an example of what you won’t be seeing here after the new 2257 rules go into effect in a couple days. OK…so it isn’t great art, but it’s a photo that I had thought about making for a while and Athena came by today to help me do it. I guess some might call […]
Caught a Soul?
Saturday, December 20th, 2008
I shot this photo of Phoenix Kelly today. I was playing around with some fabric and my 50mm f/1.4 lens used wide open to play with shallow depth of field. She just wrote to me to say this about this photo, “Love this. You caught me. On camera. That’s the first time that I recognize […]
Carhenge at night
Wednesday, August 6th, 2008
I went to Carhenge on this past trip specifically to take this photo that I had been wanting to shoot since I first saw the place more than 20 years ago. Unfortunately, it didn’t work out as I had planned it. I’m not completely happy with the result, but I’m sharing it so I can […]
Carhenge is ruined
Monday, July 28th, 2008
One of the major goals of this trip I’m on was to finally shoot some figure photos at Carhenge. I’ve been a big fan of Carhenge since it was created in the early 1980s. I visited it shortly after it was built. Back then the creator was fighting off locals who wanted it torn down, […]
