Monday morning greetings to all,
It’s that time of year when football is starting here in the U.S. and it’s a glorious time of year in my book!!!!! The high school kids have been playing for a few weeks and the college games start Thursday night! The NFL starts playing a week from Thursday and it’s going to be great!!!!!!!
I started shooting for a new client a few months ago; Schutt Sports is based here in Illinois and makes all kinds of equipment for sports like football and baseball (among other products). We’ve been shooting some of their products here in the studio and for one of the shots we wanted to do some dramatic lighting with one of the football helmets.
Believe it or not, but next weekend is Labor Day weekend!!!!! Where did the summer go? Oh well!!!!!!!! Be safe this weekend if you and those that you love and care about will be traveling!!!!!!!
Thanks as always and have a great week!!!

Monday morning greetings from Atlanta,
I was down here this weekend on a very quick trip (a little business and a little pleasure) and it was great to be back in one of my favorite cities!!!!!!!! Things were a little toasty, but still not as hot as the fun I had in Dubai last month!!!!!
I’ve just started looking through some of the 10,000 plus photos that I shot on my world shoot and it’s amazing how many of the shots that I forgotten about shooting because of all that we saw and did. Here’s one of my favorite shots of the Dubai Creek Golf and Yacht Club and as you can see from this shot, it was a perfect night!!!!!
Have a great week because you know I will!!!!!

Monday morning greetings to all!!!!!!!
I was down in St. Louis over the weekend and had the pleasure of catching a ball game (Cardinals vs Dodgers) at the “new” Busch stadium. I have to tell you that they really did a nice job on the ballpark with some old school architecture and a lot of the new school comfort!!!! The view of the St. Louis skyline is incredible and I can only imagine how great it looks at night!!!!!!!
Stay cool this week, it’s going to be another hot one!!!!!!

Hot and humid Monday morning greetings from Pioneer Park!!!!!!
You’ve probably heard the phrase “It’s as easy as riding a bike”. Well, for some kids it’s not always that easy. I was helping out my friends at Easter Seals last week and there is a program called “Lose the training wheels” that helps kids get over their fears or limitations of riding a bicycle. The program takes one week and when they start, they are using bikes like the one in the first shot. By Friday, they are up on a “real” bike and it’s completely amazing to see the progress that they have made in just one week!!!!!!!!!
Thanks as always for checking out my snaps and stay cool this week!!!!!!

Monday morning greetings to all,
This past weekend I started to look though some of my snaps from my most recent shoot this past month and I’ll be looking for a long time!!! I can’t believe how many thousands and thousands of images that there are and it’s going to take awhile to view them all. I’ll have to work on one of my slideshows and condense it down a bit!!!
Here’s a quick panoramic from Nyon, Switzerland. If you’re ever in the area, it’s well worth a visit. The town is very cool and right on Lake Geneva as you can see in my snap. We stopped here for some dinner after a long day of shooting and we arrived at the perfect time for photos!
There’s always more to come, so have a great week!!!!!!

Monday morning greetings from back home in Peoria!!!!!!!!
I can’t tell you how good it is to be back home and sleeping in my own bed!!!!!!
How’s this for a schedule, we flew 25,593 miles and shot in six countries (Switzerland, Mail, U.A.E. (Dubai), Philippines, Hong Kong and China) in 26 days!!!!! To say that it was a whirlwind tour of the world is a complete understatement! The shoot still seems very surreal and I can’t believe all the things that we got to see on this road trip!
On my last day in Beijing, I was able to get out and see the Great Wall and was in complete and utter awe for what these people did and how they put this together!!!! To undertake a project like this today with modern machinery would be incredible, but these people did this hundreds and hundreds of years ago and did it with their bare hands!!!!! We walked up one of the peaks on the other side of the valley and you could see the wall going for miles and miles in this photo!!!! If you’re ever in Beijing, I can’t recommend seeing the Great Wall enough!!!
Thanks as always for checking out the shots of my trip and if you missed seeing anything, you can go to the web site and my shots are posted there as well!!!!
Now it’s time to get to work!!!!!!!!!! Have an outstanding week as always!!!!!

Friday morning greetings from Beijing!!!!!!!!!
I can’t believe that today is my last day here in Beijing and I’ll be heading back to Peoria tonight!!!!! This has been an absolutely incredible shoot and I can’t believe al the countries that we saw and and all the very nice people that we’ve met along the way!!!! I think that it’s going to take a few weeks to just digest all the stuff that we’ve seen!!!! The funny thing is that we’ve shot so many pictures, it’s hard to remember what we even shot in Geneva almost a month ago!!!!!!
Here’s a quick shot from the Temple of Heaven in Beijing. This is one of those places that’s truly very special and well worth a visit if you’re ever in the neighborhood!!!!!!!
All my best as always and I’m having a big cookout on Saturday night (along with a couple of cold Miller Lite’s)!!!!!!!!!!!! It will be good to be home!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
