I AM an Artist
Oh, for fuck’s sake! Look here, you (and by “you” here, I mean me, obviously) – I just ran across this post from 2014… geezly crow, I didn’t have to scroll back all that far to find it either. The thing is, you see, and I think I’ve mentioned it before. I’ve started teaching my…

New Lake, New Lake!
Okay, so Yosemite is still closed due to all the snow, so we tried a different, nearby lake that’s new to us on recommendation. We ALSO decided to try a new method of sitting and hanging out and waiting for birds to show up instead of chasing after them which we both felt was MUCH…

Wildflowers!
Back in April (oh so long ago) we took a trek to see some wildflowers on the recommendation of another photographer we ran into the week before. They really were just gorgeous! We were surprised to run into a section of park called “Buzzard’s Roost” where there were a TON of low flying buzzards! We…

Get Your Motor Running!
With circumstances being what they are, I haven’t had much opportunity to schedule and set up shoots or really get out all that much and I’ve turned my attention to focusing on Black and White photography. I am pleased with how my understanding of light and lighting is growing through the practice of shooting in…

November 19, 2021 Eclipse!
I have never tried eclipse shots over time at all before, even after shooting for 15 years now. I DEFINITELY know how to improve these for next time and that this isn’t perfect, but I’m VERY happy with how it turned out for a first attempt! The first 5 images were taken 20 minutes apart…

More Pictures from Yosemite!
I have been studying the editing side of photography a lot the last couple months, thanks to my brother who is also a photographer, and so I’m excited to share these additional images from Yosemite that I finally figured out what to do with! Please click the images to open them full size (the crop…

Some Fall Photos
I saw some cute little mushies outside in the green space of my apartment complex and had to get some fall photos!
