Morning All,

Well winters seems to have a firm grip and I grow tired of it, ready to get out and soak up some sun.

We are headed to Yellowstone this weekend. I'm very excited and am seriously hoping the stars will be aligned so I can take some fantastic winter images of Mammoth Hot Springs and some wildlife. My intent is to shoot for Black and White, to get the Ansel Adams feel for those images. He has long been my photographic Idol.

Speaking of Black and White, my friend in Michigan, who is fantastic photog has put some great B&W's on his site so if you have a minute check out his Blog. I also have some of his images in the Gallery, for sale of course.

I have updated my main site with new portraits and some fine art work, so check it out. So that's it for today I'll leave you with an image I titled "Desolation"...it depicts Wyoming's harsh and unpredictable weather.

Mornin' guys and gals,

Well it's Saturday, yea I know, what the heck am I doin' here..... I thought I jot down a few quick updates. Got Corey and Mikes engagement pics done and booked another wedding this week. So over all it was a good week.

Looks like we are headed to Yellowstone at the end of next week. I hope we have good weather for shooting and the wildlife co-operates. We are goin' up on Friday and coming back Monday. It should produce some fantastic winter landscapes.

Well tonight is the "Infamous Birthday Party"....every year we throw a party for some close friends 'cause our Birthdays all land this month, mine being Wednesday. We also make it themed, this years is Drag Queens....yup a bunch of freshly 40 or 40 something guys dressed in drag and there spouses dressed appropriately. It's always fun time.

Well I'm out but will leave you with one of Corey and Mikes images....

Mornin'

Well it's Tuesday and the wind is a whippin'...enough already. We had a great weekend though and the weather was perfect. Shot some engagement pics for Corey and Mike. They came out really good.

This week is pretty busy, Wednesday is full up with appointments so we should book some stuff from that. I also have some stuff to edit for myself. The time just flies it seems, one day rolling into the next. Guess it happens when you get older, and since the big 40 is looming near it'll get worse...HA.

If all works out we are headed to Yellowstone the last weekend of the month to shoot there and in Jardine Montana. The Elk and Big Horn Sheep spend some time where we are headed. So I hope that will produce some good images.

Alrighty, I'm out and I'll leave you with one from the weekend.

Mornin' all,

Well the weather has been nice...until the wind decided to blast away this morning. However a couple nice days got me out for some shooting. Sunday we went up on the mountain, wow it was nice and I got a couple keepers out of that run.

I have a pretty light schedule the rest of the week, unless the phone rings. January is typically a bit quiet. Gives me some mental regrouping time. We should start adding to our already booked weddings next month, as people start to decide what their plans are.... We are also preparing our senior picture campaign and a few other advertising deals.

Alrighty then, I'm off for today, but I will leave you one from the weekend.

Whoo hoo,

It's Friday and cold as a Well Diggers....Shovel...Ok you get the idea ;)

Hope ya all have plans for a fun weekend, we are having a small dinner party with some of the staff of the Open Range Magazine/Glenrock Bird. So that should be fun.

I just spent about an hour updating my site. So have a look at the New Prints page, I'm sure there a few more to put up but I will get to it. If you surf it, you'll need to refresh your browser.

Well I have a pretty light schedule today, just a few things to work on. I hope it warms up a bit, I'd like to go shoot some on Sunday.

I'm still working my photo essay of the economy and plan to get some images done next week, I think I will put a gallery up on my site when it is done that way you can see all the images at once.

Alrighty then I'm out, hope you all have a good weekend and I will leave you some local nature.

Mornin,

Just a quicky today, We had a full day of editing and biz stuff yesterday. I also did a restoration for a previous client. I really enjoy working on those old photo's and having the client see the finished product is almost as good as watching someone pick out their portraits during the proofing session.

Wow it's seriously cold this morning, the Whippets don't want any part of goin' outside today. I can't say as I blame them...I don't really either.

Well I'm off to it..Got a pretty big order to place today for several people and a wedding to book. Looks like the year is starting out pretty good already. Let's just hope it continues. I'll leave you with another Urban image.

Mornin' all,

Yea yea, I've been terribly lazy and not writing regularly...So It's a new Year and I'm on it. In my defense I was really sick for about 5 days and still haven't kicked this crud all together.

Well it's snowing again, we seem to be really having winter for a change. I am ready for some warmer temps though.

So, after my downtown shoot, I have been inspired a bit to shoot a photo essay on the poor economy. So I have been working on that a bit, I must say the idea really came from Amanda Smith at the Open Range Magazine/Glenrock Bird. So Amanda if you read this it is your Idea...Ha ;) So I'll be posting some images around that theme as it develops.

Well we are certainly excited for a better year than '09 and I'm sure you are too. We got a call on New Years Day to shoot a family that was together for the Holidays, so I'm taking that as a good sign as well as sold a the first fine art print of the New Year on that Sunday... So off and running we are!

Well I have a full day ahead of me so I'd better get to it. I'll leave you with this old doorway I found in alley in downtown, I really liked the shapes and textures associated with the image.
