Sunny Monday morning Peoria greetings to all,

I had a crazy week last week, but it was fun! One of the things that I got to shoot was the Red Power Round-up in Madison, Wi. and the event is all things International Harvester and put on by the IH Collector’s Club. It’s a three day event and in those three days, I shot over 500 different machines from turn of the century tractors to trucks to lawn mowers. We set up a make shift studio indoors and the people would drive in their machines and we’d shoot them. You could see that these people have a real passion for this and there is also an incredible amount of time and money that goes into restoring these beautiful vehicles! The other thing that I got from chatting with some of the different exhibitors is the pride that they have in their vehicles from the smallest goodie to the biggest tractors that we saw! Here’s a nice montage of snaps from the event!

Thanks as always for checking out my snaps and I hope that you have a wonderful week!

Sunny Peoria Monday morning greetings to all!

How’s this for a story, you’re a retired school teacher and you decide to ride a bicycle 3415 miles across the USA in 47 days. Sounds crazy doesn’t it! Washington, Il. resident (and friend) Champ Walker did this and I’m still amazed at what he was able to do. Here’s a link for the blog that Champ keep during his ride along with photos if you’d like to see what it was all about! http://walkerride.blogspot.com/2009_05_01_archive.html

A buddy and I teamed up on a photo of Champ and here’s one of the snaps from the shoot that I really liked!

Time to roll, it’s going to be a very busy week!!!! Thanks as always for checking out my work and I hope that you have a wonderful week!!!!

Sunny Peoria Monday afternoon greetings to all,

One of the things that I’ve been working on this year is having images of mine on line that can be purchased for stock or prints as well. The first part is looking though all of these images (75 plus Terabytes) and it’s been daunting, but it’s coming along. At some point, I should have the first gallery of images up and those will be images of Peoria (that’s what I currently sell the most of).

Thanks as always and I hope that you have a great week!!!!

Sunny Peoria Monday morning greetings to all!

I hope that you had a safe and wonderful 4th of July weekend and got to see some fireworks!

I was over in Bloomington, Il. last week for a shoot for Midwestern Family Magazine and we were doing a little food photography at the Vrooman Mansion. Chef Steven Sparrow was teaching a cooking class on New Orleans / Cajun cooking and as part of the class, the students get to eat the Chef’s different dishes from the evening!

Thanks as always for checking out my work and I hope that you have a great week!!!!!
