Springtime in Peoria!

Sunny Monday morning greetings from Pioneer Park,

About six weeks ago, I sent out a promo with springtime photos from Memphis, Tn. and I knew that our time here in Peoria was coming for the same weather and foliage.  I didn’t think it was going to take six weeks to happen though, but it’s indeed finally here! I got this shot last week on the road from Grandview Drive down to Forrest Park Nature Center, and there was just something about all the colors from the blue of the sky to the green of the trees to the pinks of the redbuds along with the curve of the road and the yellow divider lines that I really liked!!!
Thanks as always, and I hope that you have a great week!!!!

Year 18 and counting!

Sunny warmer Monday morning Peoria greetings to all,

While I was out on my West coast shoot a couple of weeks ago, I turned the page on another year in business! We passed year 18 and are a few weeks into year 19! I’m amazed ever year that it continues and I feel very fortunate and blessed to come into the studio and am ready to rock and see what each new day brings! Thanks to all of you, this happens every day!

Here’s a quick snap from the Oregon coast and it sure was a beautiful day!

Thanks again to all and have a wonderful week!!!!

Sometimes you just get lucky!!!!!!

Monday morning greetings to all!

I’ve got a quick snap for you from my farm shoot last week in Washington State. This shot was a “bonus“ shot and one that we wanted to get for a couple of days, but the weather wasn’t cooperating. On day three at the end of the day, the clouds broke for about a half hour or so and we were able to snag it! As you can see in the shot, the afternoon light was golden and perfect and our shot kind of reminds me of those Marlboro ads with the cowboy out in the Western U.S.
Thanks as always for checking out my snaps!!!!!

The Pacific Ocean

Moses Lake Washington Monday greetings,

I’m out West this week for a shoot and I was able to sneak over to the coast for a few days to snap a few nature shots. Here’s one of my sunset snaps from the Pacific Ocean.

J. Buck’s

Sunny and warmer Monday morning greetings!

It sure is nice that here in Central Illinois we are start to get a littler warmer weather and spring is definitely on the way!

I was over in Bloomington, Il. on Friday afternoon shooting for Midwestern Family magazine at a new restaurant to our area, J. Bucks. For those of you that have been to St. Louis, Mo., you’re probably familiar with the Buck (Joe and Jack) broadcasting family and their restaurants. I can tell you that the food is outstanding and the beer is served just the way I like it, very cold and lot’s of it!

We did a real quick shoot and here’s one of the snaps from Friday. How’s a little Scallops wrapped in Prosciutto sound?

Have a great week as always!!!

Flickr and a walk along the Illinois River

Foggy,  but warmer Monday morning greetings to all, I got out early Saturday morning with a group of photography friends from a photo website called “Flickr”.  There are all kinds of different groups on a enormous variety of subjects on this site and one of the groups that I belong to is the Peoria group.  Here’s a link for the group  http://www.flickr.com/groups/peoria/  

There were about 10 brave souls that got out on a very chilly Saturday morning and walked from the Gateway building headed North along the walking/bike path for a few hours. The challenge for me was to find that “over the top” color that I love to shoot when everything is so dull and lifeless at this time of year.  I surprised myself and found a lot more to shoot that I thought I would!  Here’s some of my snaps!

Springtime in Memphis!

Overcast Monday morning greetings to all!!!!! Green grass and flowers blooming here in Peoria is still at least a month away (Damn),  but I got to experience a little spring in Memphis last week and it was great!  It’s mentally so rejuvenating to see some life outdoors and let’s you know that winter is almost over! Here’s a little slice of spring for my friends here in Peoria and those in parts farther north!!! 

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

Shopping in Hong Kong!

Happy St. Patrick’s Day greetings to all,
I was finally able to get back on our Peoria time zone a couple days ago (sleep wise that is) and that was great!  There’s a 14 hour time zone difference between Peoria and Hong Kong,  so day becomes night!
Here’s a quick snap (this is a 360 degree view for those that care about such things) of one of the shopping districts in Hong Kong a week ago on a very busy Friday night! 
         Thanks and have a safe and fun St. Patrick’s Day!!!!!

Back home in the U.S.!

Early Monday morning greetings from back home in Peoria!!!!!
I made it back safe and sound from my Asia shoot and as always,  it was another interesting shoot!  We saw some amazing sights in Thailand and again in Hong Kong and being there makes me want to go back again at some point down the road!
For the time being I don’t have any road trips planned,  so I’ll be hanging out here in Peoria and that won’t be all bad!
Here’s a quick couple of snaps from Thailand.  The gentleman was doing some Tai Chi in a park in Bangkok and the little boy was at one of the facilities that we were shooting at . 
Thanks as always for checking out my snaps and have a great week!!!
