to my personal blog. Here I post examples of my photography and writing. I specialize in making unique and highly detailed photographs. Notice I said making and not taking. Yes I take photos but a lot of time and work is involved in pushing and punishing the pixels in my images to achieve the look I like.
Please feel free make comments about any of my words or photos. I enjoy constructive critiques, learning about locations to shoot or photography techniques. Click on the "Share Article" link to share any of my photos via Flickr, Facebook, Instagram, etc.
Want to use one of my posts in your own blog? No problem, but please make sure it links back to the original post here and do the right thing and give me credit. Don't copy my words, crop the images, remove the watermarks or claim my work as your own. This has happened more times than I can count so I've had to report copyright violations to ISP's and regrettably the violators blog is usually taken down.
Can't we all just get along?
Saturday, January 2, 2010 at 9:51PM | in Aviation, California, HDR, LAX Resplendent in its Quantas livery, John Travolta's Boeing 707-138B "Jett Clipper Ella" as seen parked at LAX. This is a classic jet airliner design.

Saturday, January 2, 2010 at 7:15PM | in HDR, National Cathedral, Washington DC I was immediately struck by 2 things upon entering the National Cathedral in Washington D.C.
First it's a huge space, probably the largest space I have ever stood in. Second the colored light streaming through the large open space was strikingly beautiful and ethereal.
While framing up this shot I decided to tilt my ultra wide angle lens a little to add a bit of interest. Not sure how well that worked out.
Stairs leading to the dining room wrap around a 42-foot-high wine tower, built of steel and laminated glass, that holds nearly 10,000 bottles. "Wine Angels" on wires float upward to retreive specific bottles.

There are just a few colognes that I like to wear. Lagerfeld is a favorite. I was looking at how the light on my headboard was reflecting inside the bottle and I decided to try a Lensbaby macro shot.
I used the Lensbaby composer to create this unusual self portrait.

Kathy and I are at the universal amphitheater to see the Brian Setzer Orchestra Christmas Extravaganza. Sorry my iPhone doesn't take HDRs. Merry Christmas!
Thursday, December 3, 2009 at 9:56AM | in California, Cars, HDR, Whittier It's tough to take photos of these highly reflective vehicles and not become part of the photo yourself. I've posted other images of this truck but I really like this head on perspective which is exaggerated a bit by my 11mm wide angle lens.
Wednesday, December 2, 2009 at 8:50PM | in California, Cars, HDR, Whittier The Uptown Whittier 2009 Car Show hosted over 250 classic cars. This show started 8 or 9 years ago with just a handful of entrants. Now its hard to know what to photograph first.
