What do you do for the holidays when you want to go somewhere (or even just Out) and share the joy, but you really just shouldn't? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rlqkytz0CzQ&t=22s After setting up the Christmas lights, I took my extra time and had some fun with the Samsung Gear 360 (2017) camera, and spent a little learning time*...

From Stormy To Sunny
I suppose if we had a choice between the two that's the direction many would pick, and that's what the sky did for me the day of this Thanksgiving timelapse. Creatively speaking it worked out quite well in this instance, but I have written a lot of songs that were inspired by going the opposite... Continue Reading →
Sometimes Creative Work Feels Like This…
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iTRONlXOEtw You spend a bit of time out in the open air, and it belongs to you: wide open spaces of creativity and experiments. No responsibilities or destination, no demands. And then everything rolls in with little warning, and you become overwhelmed at the majesty and insistence and speed of it all. And all you...

Pointing (Cameras) At Things
That's what photographers do, right? At a most basic level, in hopes of pointing out things. Sure, there are all the technical skills that make your image better, or coherent. Plus a basic understanding of composition, somewhat steady hand, the literal ability to focus -- if you aren't doing avant garde shapes on purpose. But... Continue Reading →

How’s Your Perspective?
As a photographer and father, I strive to see the world from as many angles as I can. For images, it's to see or show something new, fresh or compelling. As a parent, it may be to keep my kid safe or find our way to a new adventure. In all cases, even bringing video... Continue Reading →
Fly Boy Picture
Another portrait. Word is getting around! Again taken with my Samsung Note 8, this time edited a little with Snapseed. He was on the window for a good half an hour so we thought perhaps he was dead, but as soon as I came in for an extreme close-up he took off. And yes,... Continue Reading →
Can Do Candid Mantis
I'm available for portraits and headshots. Just had a short session with this guy in the front yard with my Note 8. My best Tip for shooting suddenly moving targets is to grab a shot as soon as you can frame it, even if it's not the best angle or composition. Because of the subject... Continue Reading →
My New Phone Is Not Magical
Don't get me wrong, it's a fabulous phone. I had to replace my much-loved Galaxy Note 4 because it was shutting off unexpectedly, even when the battery still had a charge, even when it was plugged in overnight. A factory reset was no help. So for reasons, I got a Samsung Galaxy Note 8. And... Continue Reading →
