Vee Dub

This shot was taken on our Phoenix photo walk back in February. I’m pretty sure there were several of us that snapped this bug. The color on it was amazing. Fellow photog Mike Olbinski has a shot on his Flickr page that is a must see. He mentioned how special these cars are to him….

Baby Charlotte

Switching gears this week.  I’d like to introduce you to a cutie named Charlotte.  She is the newest pride and joy of friends of ours.  As you can see the camera already loves her. I love to mix up my photography subjects.  For one it keeps it interesting and two there is always something new…

Get the Shot

Last weekend started off with gray skies and a good chance of rain in the forecast.  Not exactly what I was hoping for as I had two outdoor portrait sessions slated.  The rain came as forecasted so the portrait sessions were rescheduled.  Of course this doesn’t mean that picture taking is off limits, on the…

Our Dog

Our Dog

Meet Tootsie, our ugly dog.  I know what you are thinking, how can you say that?  Well, lets just call it like we see it.  One could argue she falls into the category of “she’s so ugly she’s cute”.  But what does that really mean?  It means she is an ugly dog. Of course as…

This week we are back to shooting with the Canon.  I actually made it out of the house early one morning last week and headed for one of my favorite spots, Tempe Town Lake.  Of course there is some bias as it is close to work so I can either stop by on my way…

That Camera in Your Pocket

So lately I’ve been using my iPhone more and more for photography.  In the past I have always dismissed it as a viable source since you couldn’t change lenses, play with the shutter or aperture.  However with all the recent applications (apps) that have come out, things have changed.  Creativity and minor adjustments can now…

Sunsets & Bridges

Sunsets & Bridges

This past weekend didn’t leave a lot of time for making pics.  Sigh.  I really need to win a lottery so I can focus more on photography and less on the day job. I did manage to slip down to Tempe Town Lake on Saturday evening for a few brackets.  It is sort of a…

Balloons

Balloons

This past weekend we decided to drive up to Cave Creek AZ for their annual hot air balloon festival.  They advertised tethered balloon rides, inflatable rides/bounce house, obstacle course, and night time inflating of the hot air balloons.  Of course I played this off as a treat for our kids, but truth be known I…
