Welcome! Back in December of 2011, during a visit to Fort New Salem for an event at Christmastime, I happened to talk with someone on the Fort’s board of directors who expressed interest in possibly doing a customized calendar specifically for the Fort. Since that...
I can’t believe half a month passed before I realized I hadn’t posted a June Pic of the Month! Better late than never! Keep Searching I didn’t spend a whole lot of time doing landscape photography during my time in South Korea this spring. There are a number of...
Broad Horizons Though I had the privilege of being in many picturesque places over the month of May, I chose this simple sea-scape because I needed to remind myself that every-once-in-a-while it is important to keep capturing beauty in even the simplest of...
Burdened There was so much going on at the end of April that I totally forgot to post the Pic of the Month! So even though May is already half gone, I figured April’s Pic was better late then never. I don’t think I’ve ever seen it snow on April 23 before. By that...
The Fields are Ready This picture reminds me of much more than just a peaceful evening waiting for the sun to set over the Los Angeles skyline; more also than of the world-famous Griffith Observatory, home of the powerful Zeiss 12in Refracting Telescope, from which...
You would think that with yesterday being Leap Day, I would have had my Pic of the Month for February all done and ready to be posted first thing this morning! But alas, it is all too true that regardless of how many hours are in a day or how many days are in a...
Remnants of A Bygone Era There’s something about this image that speaks of mysterious emptiness. Uninhabited dwellings, girded in wintery vesture, showcasing nothing more than the antiquated existence of a bygone era. Even the composition itself speaks of vacancy,...
Home in the Hills Happy New Year! I took this picture a few days ago, knowing that I’d have to take down the Christmas lights soon. No snow came like I was hoping for, but I think pulling away from the house and up the hill a ways helped hide distractions that snow...
Enjoying the Falls I’ve been so busy selling calendars and putting up Christmas lights over the last week that I didn’t have any time to post the Pic of the Month for November! It was a light month for photography anyway, catching up on business and things after my...
Ocean Mist I don’t normally go stepping into ankle deep water while wearing socks and hiking boots, but an unfortunate wave of circumstances called for it’s necessity a few weeks ago while photographing the last light on the shores of Battle Beach State Park, OR....
Desert Shore Most people say: “the grass is greener on the other side of the fence.” But perhaps folks on the Baja Peninsula say “the cactus grows thicker on the other side of the valley.” At least that’s what was going through my head as I stood at the top of a...
I’m posting a day early to allow room for a special announcement for the first of September . . . Raptor in Flight It’s amazing what memory’s we attach to the pictures we take. Want to guess what this picture reminds me of? You probably will never guess. Believe it...
Northwoods Sunset God truly blessed my time in the Northwoods of Michigan for the latest guys Journey to the Heart. Not only did I learn much about leadership, effective counseling and daily exhortation, but more importantly I was challenged in the areas of...
The thought process that went behind this picture of a bridal bouquet.
Appalachian Sunset Have you ever become frustrated with imperfect equipment during an otherwise perfectly wonderful photoshoot? During my recent trip through the Blue Ridge mountains I experienced these feelings as I attempted to shoot the beautiful scenery along...
Spring Overlook Having spent this entire month in South Korea taking photography sorties on a regular basis, it was not easy to choose a pick from the sizeable archive. But I narrowed it down to this one because of the steps that led up to it’s creation. It was...
New River Gorgeousness Owing to much planning, traveling, and work, there was not much time for photography this past month. But having a camera handy at all times does pay off. We had been on the road for over six hours, and there was a good three hours...
Under the Sun Have you ever considered that all your wonderful camera equipment is not much more than this: weeds? Both will eventually break down. One more quickly than the other, of course, but neither of them will last very long. And why do I say this? To warn...
Full Moon in January It’s fun to go though pictures of the past month as I sit in my cozy little office looking outside at the blowing snow and thinking about the blizzard warnings here in Chicago. There was snow on the ground for most of January, and it appears as...
Christmas Bells It amazes me how pleasing compositions unexpectedly produce themselves. Of course, it’s hard not to come away with a winner when one is standing on a mountaintop at sunrise with mist rising out of the valleys, or on a beach at sunset directly...
