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!

Sunny Las Cruces, N.M. Monday greetings to all!

I’m still out west and have been here in New Mexico visiting my folks for a few days and that’s been very nice! On my way down here the other day, I passed over the Navajo Bridge in Northern Arizona and caught a group of rafters and kayakers floating down the Colorado River! I’m sure that they might of even had a cold adult beverage or two on a hot August day!!!

Thanks again and always for checking out my snaps and I hope that you have a safe Labor Day weekend!!!!!!!

Monday morning Idaho greetings to all!

Over the last number of years, the last few weeks of August are very slow for me (work wise), so it’s a great time to leave town and get out and shoot some photography for me! I was over at Mt. Rushmore a couple of days ago and I hadn’t been there in 40 plus years, so I don’t remember too much of it. I have to tell you that it’s pretty darn impressive and if you haven’t seen it, you might think about making a trip out to the Black Hills of South Dakota! Here’s one of my snaps!

Thanks as always and I hope that you have an outstanding week!

Monday morning Peoria greetings to all!

I was fortunate to be down in St. Louis over the weekend and took in a Cardinal ball game at beautiful Busch Stadium and it sure was fun seeing a little major league action!

Here’s one of my patented “stitch” shots (with my point and shoot camera no less) from the cheap seats!!!!!!

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

Hot Peoria Monday morning greetings to all!

I was in Sioux City, Iowa last week shooting photos for a new Stoney Creek hotel and I had a new challenge and it was a bit tough. The client wanted to get a shot of the presidential suite and wanted to show the size of the room. She asked if I could do one of my patented “stitch” shots (a series of photos that the computer assembles to make one large panoramic shot) and after thinking about it, I gave it a try. The challenge for me is that I’m normally doing these “stitch” shots outside or in a room at night that’s already “lit”. The other challenge was the fact that I only had four lights to supplement the lighting already there!

Here’s my snap and I’m pretty darn happy with it!

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

Sunny Omaha Monday morning greetings to all!

I’ve been on a real tear for the last two and a half months with work and that’s been great! One of the things that I haven’t had time to do since early May is get out and shoot some shots for myself! It’s something that helps recharge my creativity and keeps me going! I’ve got a shoot this week in Souix City, Ia. at a new Stoney Creek hotel that’s just opened and I decided to leave a day early and shoot some stuff for me!

Here’s my shot of the city of Omaha, Ne. and they’ve got this very cool pedestrian bridge that leads from Omaha across the Missouri River to Council Bluffs, Ia. The Bob Kerrey Pedestrian Bridge snakes across the river in an “S” shape!
Thanks as always and have a great 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!!!!!

Sunny cool Peoria Monday morning greetings to all!

It’s great to be back home and also in town for a few weeks before heading out once again! I was up in Wisconsin and Minnesota the past few weeks shooting some farming stuff and it was darn hot! On Tuesday this past week, I had about 10 quarts of Gatorade during the course of the day and never hit the bathroom once! That’s a lot of sweat!!!!!! Here’s one of my favorite shots from the shoots and as you can see, we had a great evening to shoot!

Have a very safe 4th of July weekend (for my U.S. friends) next weekend and I’ll see you all next Monday!
