This past Saturday I participated in the Phoenix Photo Walk held by Mike Olbinski.  This one started at 6pm so the focus would be night time shots.  Shooting at night is always fun especially when you have a city backdrop such as Phoenix. Our merry troop departed Coach & Willies slightly after 6pm to begin…

My New Site

Hello, and welcome to my new site.  This is my first post under the new site!! As you can see this site is quite different from my old one.   I have been able to integrate my blog into the website while still highlighting my work.  I’m really excited for this change!! One thing that has…

Welcome to Amococo

The family getting their “zen” on. It is spring break this week for our kids.  So of course that means they are bored.  As an effort to quiet the natives, Monday night we took them to the Mesa Arts Center (a favorite place to shoot portraits) to experience Amococo. What on earth is Amococo do you…

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

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…

Tracks

Tracks

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…
