After a relatively snowless winter through January here in West Virginia, I was grateful for two recent, descent snow falls! The one in late February was about 6 inches and the other from just a few days ago was about 10 inches. This amount of snow makes...

Kind of off topic for a photography blog, but let me talk about a design project I was working on last week. Have you ever thought about how knowing and understanding principles of design has a lot to do with developing your eye for creative and more pleasing...
What are your goals in life? Really. What has God called you to accomplish before you die? What long-range objectives are you trying to reach? Do any of these goals require the skill of photography? Think about that for a minute. If not, then let me encourage you...
I just finished up the very first Artists calendar! An artist sent me 12 of her best pictures, I plopped them into the calendar design that I had already made for 2015, and voilà! Actually, it wasn’t quite that simple. Perhaps if evolution were true. But of course...

I’m back in Kansas, looking forward to holding the very last CAPTURE Workshop of the year! This is the second time a workshop has been held in this location so it will be neat to revisit some of the great places we went to last year. Being in the same location...

Fall is my favorite season and there’s no other place I’d rather be than at home with my family in West Virginia! Home sweet home. And hopefully at the right time of year to finally see the fall colors in “my own backyard.” It’s been about 6 years since I’ve been...
