Watson Lake has become one of my favorite places in Arizona to photograph.  I love the surreal rocky landscape.  You’ll likely see many more shots from this area of Prescott because I can’t stop myself from going out there every time I’m up North. 5D Mk III with 24-105mm f/4.0L IS USM lens. ISO 100, […]

Well, I think I’ve finally reached the end of my Ireland photographs.  I may decide to post a few others down the line as I look at them again with fresh eyes but for now I’ve posted all of the ones that I thought worthy. My next series of images come from a few different […]

This shot was taken in Craggaunowen Castle in County Clare, Ireland.  Spirals are a very strong design element so I couldn’t resist looking back down after climbing three stories up this narrow stairwell to capture it. 5D Mk III with 24-105mm f/4.0L IS USM lens. ISO 400, f/4.0, 1/60 sec.

Here’s another shot from my travels in Ireland last summer.  This one features the coast of Quilty in County Clare.  I don’t normally like having the horizon line dividing my composition in half but I liked the detail in the clouds as well as the seaweed so I had to get them both in there. […]

Today’s post features a shot of Antoin MacGabhann and Johnny Óg Connolly playing a few tunes outside of the Fahy-Carnevale wedding in New Quay, Ireland this last summer.  This was a spontaneous shot so it’s not a picture of technical perfection by any means.  When I first saw the guys playing I was so captivated by the […]

It’s been a while since I added a new post to my blog so I figured I’d pull out another shot from Ireland.  This scene isn’t exactly authentic though; it was taken in Folk Park which is an attraction at Bunratty Castle that is set up to show the different styles of Irish dwellings from the 19th […]

I hate phony things.  When I was a toddler and my parents put me on my uncle’s lap because he was dressed as Santa Clause for Christmas it freaked me out because I knew that something was off- that it wasn’t real. I am drawn to things that are genuine.  I am drawn to portraiture […]

I decided to play around with some natural lighting today.  I’m not 100% pleased with the result, only because I didn’t have enough time and assistance to pay attention to the details I normally would.  It’s a nice shot but the OCD monster inside of me is slightly irritated.  Basically, I had a white backdrop […]

Dunguaire Castle sits just outside the village of Kinvara overlooking Galway Bay.  The castle was built in 1520 and has changed hands many times and undergone many renovations and restorations before becoming the property of Shannon Development where it now serves as a tourist attraction and a link to Ireland’s history. We traveled to Kinvara […]

I never got tired of looking at the beautiful and picturesque thatched roof cottages while in Ireland. 5D Mk III with 24-105mm f/4.0L IS USM lens.  ISO 100, f/16, 1/100 sec.
