Stremel (streh’ mull) - To “Stremel”, it’s been “Stremelled”, I’ve been “Stremelling”.
Definition - the act of making an image largely through the use of luck. Term coined in reference to one Doug Stremel - the luckiest shooter on earth (although one Bruce Snell has also been instrumental in the development of the technique).

Stremelling technique
10Sep08Tagged
06Sep08My friend and oh-so-talented illustrator, Christy Schneider, tagged me on her blog last night. I’m honored that she listed me among her favorite reads and will now, in turn, share some of mine.
In no particular order:
Bruce L. Snell — Yeah, he’s my brother. But he’s a darned talented photographer, too. Mostly portrait and wedding […]
Feline design?
03Sep08Bear with me here… this is science.
Since we’ve moved into the new house, I’ve been noticing some interesting behavior in one of our cats, Nacho. This funky area rug used to be in the office so the cats have never seen it before. Now that we’ve reintegrated the office into the house, it has found […]
Back to business
27Aug08With the move more or less behind us it’s time to get back to business. Today that meant catching up on some stock submissions that had been accumulating in my outbox. This shot of Vermillion Lakes near Banff, Canada, among many others will soon be available for licensing through Robert Harding World Imagery. I’m still […]
Moving: phase one
23Jul08As of this past weekend, the office has officially been moved to its new home in Lawrence, Kansas. The house move will follow in a few weeks so we’ll be commuting in the interim.
There are lots of shots that I always intended to take in Topeka but never got around to them. For instance, I […]
Situation update
06Jul08Again, my apologies for the limited posts and all of the other ways that I’m neglecting my friends and family. Progress is moving along at the new house but it’s taking a lot of our time right now. Along with the work that we’re doing to ready the old house for the market and the […]
Distant Fire
10Apr08Here’s a shot from a quick trip up to Atchison this weekend. As you can see, Spring is not yet here. But it’s not far off. The budding trees are a reminder of just how fast this year is flying by.
Within the last couple of weeks the calendar has begun to fill up with […]
Adobe Lightroom 2.0 beta
02Apr08Adobe Labs has posted a beta version of Lightroom 2.0 for download. Some good resources are available on NAPP’s Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 2.0 Learning Center.
More related links are available on John Nack’s blog. One that I find particularly interesting as a travel photographer is this link to Adobe Photoshop Lightroom Adventure 2008, Destination: Tasmania. “A […]
Tidbits…
28Mar08My copy of Joe McNally’s “The Moment it Clicks” arrived earlier this week and I have to say, I had trouble putting it down. If you aren’t familiar with this photographer, check out his blog or website. He’s seen it all, done it all. Each spread in the book has an image and the story […]
Peyto Lake Panorama
05Mar08I returned from Canada late Saturday night and jumped right back into work on Sunday. Today I finally had enough of a breather to start the post-processing from this trip. The shot above is a pano created with the Photo Merge command in Photoshop from eight separate shots I took at Peyto Lake. I shot […]
