Simulator

Sunny Monday morning greetings to all!

Having loved and played pinball and video games about all my life, we had the ultimate video game here in the studio last week! It’s actually a simulator that’s used for training machine operators and it’s probably the ultimate video game on steroids! The simulators and the software are made right here in Central Illinois at a company called Simformation/CSE Software and that’s very cool!

The client wanted to shoot these simulators all set up and I suggested we do some quick time lapse photography of the pieces being assembled so that they can use it on the web site.

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

Wildlife Prairie Park

Foggy Peoria Monday morning greetings to all,

I was out at Wildlife Prairie Park on Saturday with the Peoria Flickr group for the September photo walk. The animals were a little sleepy when we were out there and I wasn’t getting the images I had hoped for, so I switched gears from trying the photograph the animals to finding other things that I could shoot. Here’s a sample of some of my snaps from Saturday.

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

August Road Trip Snaps!

Sunny Peoria Monday morning greetings to all,

I had quite a little road trip before Labor Day weekend and it was great! I was swamped this summer with work (I’m not complaining at all) and one of the things that I didn’t have time to do was shoot some photography for myself and I really need to do that from time to time to keep my creative batteries recharged. This photo-safari was all about photography and not about visiting friends along the way. In 18 days that I was gone from Peoria, I saw 16 states and logged 5381 miles in the car and I had a blast!

I’ve put together a little pdf with some of the snaps along the way. Here’s a link for the pdf http://kevinmay.com/westtripkmc2009.pdf

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

The Atlanta Motor Speedway

Sunny Atlanta Monday morning greetings to all,

My vacation is almost over and today I’m driving back to Peoria! Man it’s been fun! Next week I’ll share some of my road snaps from this 5000 mile trip!

To make a long story short, I’ve been a fan of motor-sports for a very long time and I’d never attended a NASCAR race in person until last night! This was the first ever night race at the Atlanta Motor Speedway and I have to tell you that it was spectacular!!!!!! I can’t recommend it enough!!!!

Here’s one of my snaps from this beautiful facility!

Thanks as always for checking out my snaps!
