Every once in a while I come across someone interested in purchasing one of my prints who is a little surprised at the price.  I’ve heard similar stories from many of my photographer and fine art friends.  I thought I would write up a quick article describing just what you are getting when you purchase […]

  If you’ve been following my blog for a while then you’ve likely already seen this image.  I’m sharing it again today because I recently entered it into a photography contest and it was chosen as the winner.  I don’t do what I do to get recognition but it is very encouraging now and then […]

As I show my photographs on various social media platforms I often receive comments along the lines of, “where do you find these pictures?” or compliments like, “you have such a good eye!”  I appreciate the encouragement and so I want to offer it right back.  You can also create good art if you want […]

This is the latest image in my abstract architecture series.  I haven’t yet been able to come up with a name that I like.  I’m open to suggestions if you have one!  Not much else to say today, I hope you enjoy my study of shape, line and light. 5D Mk III with 24-70mm f/2.8L […]

I’ve mentioned before that I’m not really interested in pursuing head shots, senior, infant or family photos; there are plenty of talented photographers out there […]

I’m a few weeks behind on sharing this image but better late then never, right?! This is Carrie W., a runner training with Olympic aspirations.  This image comes from another collaboration effort with fine artist, Barbara Dahlstedt.  I understand she plans to use this image as a reference for an oil painting that will be […]

I had the pleasure of seeing some great bands live at the Sail Inn a couple weeks back.  I had planned to check out the show because Hurray For The Riff Raff were headlining it and I’ve been a fan of their music for a couple years.  I had been feeling pretty miserable the day of the show and […]

I currently have a solo exhibition of 20 selected photography prints on display at the Peoria Public Library art gallery.  This Saturday (September 14, 2013) I will be hosting a reception from 1:00 PM to 3:00 PM and you are most welcome to come by and say hello.  If you can’t make it this Saturday, […]
