Dale Chihuly and The Dallas Arboretum and Botanical Gardens

Monday morning Peoria greetings to all my friend around the globe!!!

One of the things that I really like to do when I’m on a road trip if time permits, is to get out and shoot a little personal photography. This past week I was down in Dallas on a very quick couple of shoots and I was able to get over to the Dallas Arboretum and Botanical Gardens to check out an exhibit from Dale Chihuly. You might know his glass art work more by the name Chihuly. They really did a very nice job of setting up his artwork around the different areas of the gardens, so everything wasn’t just in one place! If you’re going to be in the Dallas area in the next five months, the Chihuly exhibit will be running through November 5th!

Here’s some on my snaps from the day spent at the Dallas Arboretum and Botanical Gardens!!!!

Thanks as always for taking the time to check out my work and I hope that you have a great week to come!!!

Fun with Jeeps!!!

Monday morning Irving Texas greetings to all!!!

I am just rocking and rolling and it’s indeed the busy time of the year for me and I’m so grateful that it is!!!

I had a great shoot last weekend in Peoria and we sure had a lot of fun! We were out shooting for Dana who makes axels for off road jeeps along with a bunch of other trucks and vehicles! For this shoot, we wanted to get some off road jeeps out doing their thing getting muddy and then shoot some photos of their proud owners with their jeeps! We did a number of shots, but this is one of my favorites from the shoot!!!

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

Change up!

Monday morning Peoria greetings to all!

I had the chance to get out and see a little live music on Saturday night and that’s always great! There’s nothing better then seeing musicians live doing their thing!!!! The band is called “Change Up” and they are a local Peoria band that plays a bunch of old school R&B, Rock, Funk, you name it and they will probably play it!!! I saw that they will be back at the Rhythm Kitchen on July 13th if you’re looking for a great night out!

Here’s a few of my snaps from Saturday night with Change Up!

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

LG Seeds and farming in Central Illinois

Monday morning Peoria greetings to one and all!

It’s always nice to see children of farmers stepping up and taking over the family business and Mark Douglas is one of those young people! Farming is a very hard gig and I know that the next generation of farmers will come from a home where mom and dad are farmers. It’s not a business that you can jump right in and be a success if you haven’t grown up around it! Mark’s dad Roy is the 5th generation of his family to be farming has been farming all his life and I suspect that Mark as the 6th generation of the family might be doing the same! The Douglas family farms in Urbana, Ill.

Here’s my shot of Mark Douglas for LG Seeds and we had a little fun with this shoot. The look that I was after is a combination of some lighting we did out in the corn field and also having fun in Photoshop to give it a different look and feel!

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