I read somewhere that if a website wants more traffic, they need only put cat photos on their home page. Let’s see what happens, science go!

It’s All In The Details
As the name of this post might imply, the following are a series of detail shots taken recently at a British car rally in Prescott, Ariz. All are shot in the Mamiya RB67 with either FujiChrome Provia or Fuji Acros 100. I’m not sure of what each car is, so if you know tell me in the comments… Continue reading

Mamiya RB67
Back for an almost unprecedented second post in one day. This time to share a shot from my other new friend, the Mamiya RB67. I have put several rolls through this bad-boy, some of which you have seen here. After two weeks, I finally got my FujiChrome back from the lab (more to come tomorrow). In the mean time enjoy this detail of a stand up bass some one had in downtown Prescott a few weeks ago.

Macro Moments
Just a quickie today. I like to shoot flies when I can, it is challenging and also could have other artistic implications if you are prone to giving meaning to things like that.
I got this guy to cooperate for a few frames before he flew off. Shot on my desk with a piece of paper, a 55mm macro lens and a small cheap ring flash. Not too bad for 30 min work.

A Day In The Life
Just another day in the life…Haven’t posted in a while so thought I would give all you, my loyal friends and followers this little update…This guy was sitting outside my house this morning, had to grab him for the bug collection. Hit the link for a few more shots from my journeys around town today…

I got in really close for these
I spent the last week in Prescott, Ariz. and had a macro lens with me…I have been trying to get shots of insects and flowers lately…I like the challenge of making something (hopefully) better than average out of a very common subject…If nothing else it is just good to show others what I see…Make sure to click on the images to see them larger, some of the detail needs to be appreciated in a larger format…
some summer snaps
I have been out of the blogging habit for a few weeks…sorry…but i have returned today with a quick post of images I captured this morning. Be sure to click on the images to see them larger..
The above image of a fly is something I really like. If you have seen my business card anytime in the last few years you will notice the theme. I love to capture sharp images of insects, specifically flies but any will do. I think it says something about being ready at the “decisive moment” and capturing a split second of reality.
Another bug, this time of the lady variety. These are so colorful and fun to find…
Finally another macro shot to round out my take from this morning. I really love the color and texture in the sunflowers that grow all around my house…this one is no exception.
I love macro photography, it is a lot of fun and really difficult to nail sharp focus without a tripod. However, given the fast-moving nature of most of my macro subjects a tripod becomes impractical. A lot of slightly blurry photos, but when you nail critical focus on the subject it is amazing.
Macro Moments Mit My Moomesa Mates
…Ok so I had to borrow from German for that alliteration, but who cares, meaning is more important than the words anyway…
This weekend I traveled to Oak Creek Canyon, Ariz. and Kingman, Ariz. with my girlfriend Katie. Her parents have a bunch of land outside Kingman, a little ranch called Moomesa. While there, I shot on my macro lens extensively. Spring is in full bloom, flowers are bursting with color and insects are on the prowl. Hit the link to see a bunch of macro style nature shots, as well as other photos from the weekend… Continue reading
Kaleidoscope Fun…
Recently a good friend sent me a small kaleidoscope as a graduation present. It is fun to look through and being me, I had to find a way to shoot a camera through it…so I did. Here are a few of the images taken through it. Continue reading
