Brand New!

On a lighter note (see previous post) I had the honor of photographing this beautiful newborn (5 weeks old) and her big brother.

Daunting

Well, as some of you know, I have been working frantically on the 2008 Aberdeen's Outskirts calendar and this year has been a bit more difficult. I really only get to go out hunting for beautiful scenics a couple times a week in the evenings and even though I know where I would like to go to photograph a colorful sunset or an old barn the spring flood waters have left me with relatively few travel options. Many of the images in last year's calendar were acquired by driving far enough down a nearly abandoned road which is pretty safe in a drought. Now, all of those roads and many more like them are flooded, closed, and yes, even collapsed.

Sprinkler Fun

You can never really recapture the true joy of childhood until you witness that same joy in your own children.

Reflected Sunset

Never leave your camera at home, there is always something to take a picture of.

Where the Wind and Wild Things Were

I did a portrait shoot at Storybook Land on Memorial Day and it was possibly the windiest day of the year. We had a good time anyway, except for getting chased out of flower planter by a wild turkey.

Forsaken

Another Not Mine

It's tribute Friday and it's time to post a photo that someone else took that I just Love. Here is my lovely wife's capture of our daughter being calm and quiet. If you know her, you know how rare a picture like this is.

Flood

Ladies and Gentlemen ...

The Mighty Talan! This little guy, despite not having a nap, was a genuine joy to photograph. He was in a good mood and moving around so I was kept on my toes. These are some of my favorites.

Reflections

We (me and my wife) just got back from Colorado last week and this is one of my favorite pictures from the trip. Taken outside the Stanley Hotel, you know, the place that inspired "The Shining" Nice hotel, not nearly as creepy as I'd imagined.
