Homesick


Jeanne homesick while riding a train in Europe

Wedding dancer


I shot this photo at a recent wedding. I used a slow shutter speed with the flash set to fire on the second curtain while I rotated the camera during the exposure.

Wheat field leap


I just shot University of Illinois’ Arrelious Benn for the Sporting News college football preview. He was great to work with during the portrait shoot. Benn is known as a speedster so the idea was to shoot him airborne over the Illinois wheat field. Fortunately I had a portable battery pack to power my strobes.

Ignition


One of the joys of photography is capturing ordinary things in a unique way that the reader may have missed.

Katie and Mickey


I'm been editing portfolio photos for my website and found this image of Katie. I shot it with my Leica and vivitar strobe about 1983.

Hanna portrait



I shot an illustration today and also shot this portrait of Hanna. She is lit with a single strobe mounted above her which emphasized her hair.

Golf in Breckenridge


Here's our golf group after a beautiful round of golf. The scenery was beautiful not the golf. John did win the trophy AGAIN.

Humming


This is a hummingbird outside Tom's cabin, it's only 3 inches long. I mounted a strobe inside the cabin so it would light the feeder through the window.

Evening cast

Tom fishing under a stormy ski, I like the way the clearing in the clouds frames him.
