Bearizona is actually a drive-through wildlife park we passed en route to Grand Canyon, but you can’t deny me the play on words. All I really want to get across regarding the canyon is the sheer scale of it: 10,000 or so square miles. Forget about light and vantage point. […]

Waking up in Vegas
Or more accurately, in a Las Vegas suburb. They woke me precisely at 7:30 this morning, followed swiftly by two cats and a dog. Then they kicked me off of the couch to watch PBS Kids, and who am I to argue with them in their own home?

Final Video: Tangent
My absolute best shooting this quarter has been done at Integration Acres. I’m doing my final video project there but when I bring out the D700 somehow the stress is gone and light just falls into my lens without my having to ask. I’ll have the video done this weekend […]
Quilt Barn Doc – #15
They tell me I don’t understand light. I absolutely understand light. It’s just not always convenient for myself or my subjects. But when it is, I get it. Here’s just about the end of my Athens County Quilt Barn documentary for the quarter.
