In my last post, I talked about my desire not to look back on a year and see time wasted. In a funny coincidence I was alerted days later to one of my images appearing as a double-page spread in the new book, “Make the Most of Your Time On Earth” published by Rough Guides:

It’s [...]

Getting back into my walking schedule, I headed out into fog once again this morning. Other than a good thunderstorm, I think fog is my favorite weather. Scenes are simplified, colors muted, and it’s so quiet. A lot safer to be out shooting in than a thunderstorm, too.
Here’s one more from this morning that I [...]

I’ve intended to shoot the White Cloud Flea Market in the tiny riverside town of White Cloud, Kansas for decades but it’s held only two weekends a year and in seasons where I’m usually on the road. I finally made it this year and have to say that it’s an experience. Sort of a Woodstock [...]

“Tower? We see a body lying on the runway. Can you confirm?”
No, I didn’t have a trip-and-fall, I’m just doing what it takes to get the angle during my shoot yesterday with Duncan Aviation in Lincoln, Nebraska. I’m under contract to not publish anything from the shoot until the magazine comes out but Sally had [...]

Just another lazy night in the ol’ home town. Wandered down to Mass. Street last night to catch the second annual Busker’s Festival and grabbed a few shots of the street performers…

These were all shot on my Nikon D700 at ISO 800. Then I ran into Doug, who goaded me into using ISO 6400 for [...]

Okay. So, by now, you’ve probably noticed a change in my posting schedule. Like… I’m hardly posting.
I’ve been off the road for four weeks now. Four weeks. That’s almost unheard of for me. It’s not due to the economy — it’s actually been somewhat purposeful. It was time to recharge. Time to stay home for [...]

I finished up the first week of shoots with JNA Advertising and Gizmo on Friday with Lori and Ryan in their wheat field in central Kansas. The next four days will bring ten more subjects in as many towns with lots of road hours in between. Everyone has been great to work with so far [...]

I’ve been slacking on my posting duties lately due to… well… my slacking. It’s been busy, too. Not going to complain about that.
So, tomorrow morning I’m off for a week of shooting in Michigan. Should be a blast. I’ll post if I can reform my slacking ways.
Oh, and an update on my Alamy goal for [...]

Busy days lately but I took a day off to go shoot with my K4/Photodudes buddies on Friday. The sky was mostly dreary but opened up once or twice like it did here at a one room schoolhouse in the Flint Hills near the ghost town of Volland. Hardly a lost day, though, as it [...]

If anyone suffered retinal damage from the two previous, intensely-colorful posts, I’ll offer a couple of soothing, nearly-colorless images today. We’ve been getting some snow lately and yesterday morning there was also a light fog so I thought it might be a good time to get out and do some testing of the new equipment. [...]
