Monday morning Moab, Utah greetings to one and all!!!
It’s amazing to me that this year has rocketed by so fast!!!! I would always rather have it be that way then slow and grinding!!!! I’m looking forward to 2013 and all the fun and adventure that it will bring!!!!
I’m out in Moab, Utah this week shooting some nature photography and I think of this place as my home away from home!!!! Here’s one of my snaps from the Colorado River.
I hope that you have a very safe and wonderful 2013 and I’ll have more photos to share as always!!!!!
Christmas Eve Peoria greetings to all my friends around the world!!!!
The end of the year is almost here and it seems like just yesterday it was summer time and hotter then heck!
Peoria has been my home for over 30 years now and I can remember coming here when I first started at Bradley University all those many years ago. No matter where I go or what I do, it’s always a wonderful feeling to come back home to Peoria!!!!
Here’s todays promo and the city of Peoria looks great! Sunset on the Illinois River from under the Murray Baker Bridge with Peoria in the background!
I’ve also done an incredible Time Lapse of the same setting of Peoria and do yourself a favor and see this 30 second video on YouTube. Watch in at HD quality for a real treat! Here’s the link
I hope that you and yours have a very Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, and Happy Kwanzaa!!!!! Thanks as well for checking out my work, I really appreciate it!!!!!
Monday morning Peoria greetings to one and all!!!!
The year is really starting to wind down and for a lot of people I know and this will be the last week of work with Christmas coming in just eight days! It’s hard to believe that Christmas and New Years are almost here!!!!!
I had a great shoot a week ago with my friends at Schutt Sports and we were shooting some new images for their upcoming trade show season after the first of the year! We had our great model Robert once again and he really does a incredible job and is so easy for me to work with!!!! It’s a lot of fun when the images are coming together and looking so good!!!!
If you’re going to be traveling this coming week for Christmas, be safe and have a wonderful Holiday season!!!!!
We’re fast approaching the end of the year and things are starting to wind down as they always do here in December!
This past week here in Peoria I got to shoot a fun event at the Caterpillar Visitors Center. Nascar’s RCR (Richard Childress Racing) unveiled their new version of the Cat Chevrolet Impala SS for the 2013 NASCAR racing season. They pulled out all the stops on this one and brought the race car up to Peoria in one of their race haulers and to see that rig in person is amazing!!! Car owner Richard Childress and driver Jeff Burton were also there to do the big unveil and then talk with the media and also do an autograph session with the fans! I was amazed to see Richard and Jeff still having smiles and be upbeat at the end of the two hour autograph session and you have to know that they were both probably a little tired, but they never showed it!!!! Smiles all around!!!!!!
Here’s this weeks promo with some of my snaps from the day at the CVC!
Thanks as always for checking out my work and I hope that you have a great week to come!!!!
I’m back at it here in Peoria this week and it’s good to be back home after having been gone for a couple of weeks!!
One of places that I got to visit for the first time was Canyon de Chelly in Chinle, Arizona. It’s one of those places that if you are going to visit, you’ve got to make a special trip to see it. Chinle, Az. is in the Northwest corner of Arizona and it’s out in the middle of nowhere! I went there to shoot “Spider Rock” and in todays photo, it’s the formation right in Canyon de Chelly. Here’s my photo of Spider Rock.
I also did a time-lapse of Spider Rock as well and this was the longest one that I’ve ever done! Up to this point, the longest time-lapse that I have done was three hours, but for this one, I was there for eight hours. You’ll see eight hours of time compressed down to one minute.
I have also made a couple of desktop images for your computer screen as well of this great image!
Monday morning Arkansas greetings to one and all!!!!
I was able to spend the last week out in Las Cruces, NM. with my folks for Thanksgiving and as always it was wonderful! The weather was perfect and it’s hard to ask for much more then sunny days and 70 degrees!!!! One of the best things is that I got to experience the fall color twice this year! In the Midwest, the color was ok, but not great and probably becuase of the drought. At Thanksgiving in Las Cruces, the leaves were turning and I was there at the right time to capture it!!!
Here’s a couple of my snaps from the desert and my second go around with fall color!!!!
I hope that you’re going to have a great week and thanks as always for checking out my work!!!!
For my friends here in the Untied States, this Thursday is Thanksgiving and this week is a short work week for a lot of people. Some people have already traveled this past weekend and more will be taking time off and making a traditional four day weekend into a little more!
I’m down here in Las Cruces this week for my traditional time with my folks and it’s great to be here on many levels. The weather is just about perfect with lots of sun and the temperatures in the 70 degree range. My mom does a turkey and loves to watch all the different Thanksgiving parades on TV and my dad and I usually wash my car and then watch some football games and that’s a lot of fun!!!
I have lots of things to be very thankful for and I’m very blessed that I get to take pictures for a living and my clients see value in what I do!!!!
I hope that you and yours have a wonderful Thanksgiving!!!!!
Safe travels to those that will be traveling and have a great week!!!!
Kev
PS, Here’s one of my shots from the drive out here to New Mexico and there’s something about this part of the Untied States that I really connect with!
A few weeks ago I shared some photos from the grand opening of the Caterpillar Visitors Center and also the Peoria Riverfront Museum here in Peoria, Illinois. I was able to get out since then and shoot some “glamour” shots of the CVC building durning the day and the night. It’s a good looking building and a photographers dream to shoot!
I hope that you’re going to have a great week to come and thanks as always for checking out my work!!!!
Monday morning Peoria greetings to one and all!!!!
I always hate it when we turn the clocks back from daylight savings time and there’s just something about it getting dark here in Peoria at 5:00 pm that depresses me! Oh well, I guess I could spend the next six months in Australia and I wouldn’t have to worry about it!!!!
Along with the time change, the trees have pretty much lost their leaves and you know that winter is on the way! Here’s one of the last fall scenes from a road trip to Iowa a couple of weeks ago!!!!
Thanks as always for taking the time to check out my work and I hope that you have a wonderful week!!!!
Monday morning Peoria greetings to one and all!!!!
One of the two best things that happens here in the Midwest in the fall is the cooler temperatures from summer and the other great thing is IHSA playoff football. These high school kids have all played a season of football and now the best of the best are competing in the playoffs. They will have playoff games for a few more weeks with the championship games being played at the University of Illinois in Champaign on Thanksgiving weekend!
One of the things that I really like is to have a high school football payoff game that’s played on sunny Saturday afternoon and I get to shoot it!!! Brimfield/Elmwood played a St. Thomas Moore from Champaign, Il. on Saturday and I was able to shoot it and I had a blast!!!!
Here’s one of my snaps from the game and indeed that football can be a “Hot Potato”!!!!
I hope that you have a wonderful week to come and thanks as always for checking out my work!!!!
