Chelsea redividus

I'm switching from a PC to a Mac (I know, I can't believe it either) and am moving files around between machines. I came across these shots of Chelsea. It's a long story from a couple of years ago - we were in Las Vegas for a commercial shoot (that's the long part of the story) and I grabbed these more or less candid shots of Cheslea. Seeing them again, I remembered how pretty she was and how comfortable she was in front of the camera. She was a pleasant as she was attractive...

It's Realtor not Real-a-tor

Here are some head shots from a quick shoot this afternoon. Expect to see Todd and Aubrie's photos popping up all around town. I apologize in advance for the outtakes at the bottom. I told Aubrie that I was going to do it and she seemed like a good sport.

More Hayli

Hayli graduates from high school in the spring. We got a jump on her senior photos. The girl just can't take a bad photo!!!

Phoenix Sunset

Here is the view one evening recently from a hill overlooking the east valley and on in to Phoenix. You may be able to make out several landmarks, including the high rise buildings downtown.


This one is pretty small here, but the original is 36 inches long and quite detailed. You need to stop by to see it.

Here is one that is not so ambitious - many fewer frames were used in this one - only nine images were used in this pano. The one above has 30 images stitched and melded together.

Cosette & Abigail

We were treated by a visit from our cousins Abby and Cosette. They are both attractive teenagers and guess what, they love having their photos taken and coincidentally, I enjoy taking photos - it was a perfect match. We spent some fun hours in the studio and out in the back yard getting these and MANY other images. I spent a few happy hours editing some of their favorites and we uploaded them to the girls' Facebook accounts. It's way too late to be up fiddling around so I'll try to detach my fingers from this little tiny keyboard (thanks to Steve Jobs) and find someplace to curl up for the night. Ugh, just remembered, I need to take out the trash - 3:05 AM.

More biker action

Went up again to a nice vantage point with some of the fine cyclists from the Two Wheel Jones gang to do some more publicity photos. The weather and light was fine, the cyclists skillful and nimble and the light worked most of the time. Here are a few shots from the evening. More to come in the morning. It's late and I've got a big ride myself in the morning.

Mt Vernon - Home of George Washington

Visiting my daughter and son-in-law AND my new granddaughter in Virginia last week, I took a little time to see some of the sights. I'm reading a book on John Adams right now and am learning for the first time really, just what an amazing man he was. While in the mood for founding fathers, I visited Mt Vernon, the home of our first president. I've been here before and felt an almost spiritual reverence as I toured the grounds and in particular the room where this singular man passed away, at the relatively young age of 67. I'm editing some images from his estate and will be adding them to my collection (hopefully ready to come out before Christmas).



I have a panoramic shot of the view of the Potomac River from the other side of the house and hopefully I'll get that edited and posted tomorrow.
