Yesterday was a hard day.  I didn’t sleep much last night.  I needed a distraction this morning so I started going through some old files. This is an historic church I noticed on a photo walk with my friend Susan in downtown Phoenix back in January.  I always liked this shot but never got around […]

Well, I have just finished round three of college (Bachelor of Arts in 2003, Masters in Education in 2010 and now a postbac in 2012, don’t ask) and my first year as a high school photography teacher ended at 12:00 this very day!  I hope to get back into the swing of things and posting here more often now […]

This is the last maternity photo of Jessi that I plan to post.  I really liked this scene but somehow the photo is a little lacking in “umph”.  I’m not sure why that is, perhaps the focus is a touch too soft (which is even further exaggerated by posting a low resolution version to the […]

Forgive me for taking a step back in time here but I had several more maternity shots of Jessi and baby that I didn’t get a chance to post before dear Zoe’s arrival!  This is one of my favorites.  Some of my readers might have seen the cell phone camera version that I posted on […]

The Kerr family (with our recent plus one) is back home after a beautiful natural birth at the Phoenix Baptist Hospital birthing center.  Baby Zoe Clare Kerr joined us at 7:59 PM on Friday, March 16th weighing in at seven pounds, two ounces and twenty-one inches tall.  This picture is, I’m sure, the first of many […]

Here’s another from the series of maternity photographs I’ve been working on with Jessi and our daughter-to-be.  I was very happy with how this one turned out as it shows Jessi in a very candid moment, despite the fact that she was standing amidst my studio setup.  The smile and posture came out very natural, which […]

I’m sad to say I haven’t posted anything in two months due to an overwhelmingly busy first year as a high school teacher while simultaneously finishing up school… among other responsibilities.  However, I can’t stay sad for long looking at this picture of my lovely wife carrying the daughter that I will finally be able to meet in […]

Just another day in Arizona. f/22, 1/60 sec., ISO-100

You should click to view this one at full size to really appreciate it.  I took another shot at the panography technique-a little more ambitious this time.  This final image is a composite of 130 photographs, manually matched up and pieced together to create one panoramic scene.  This is the building where I work every day on […]

I’m still not sure if I’m pleased with this one or not. I figured I’d just post it and let my readers decide for themselves (all two of them). This was taken approximately 10 minutes before sunrise on Saturday morning. f/8, 1/25 sec., ISO-200
