Taken about 15 minutes after sunrise this morning in the mist. D700 and 18mm f/3.5 AIS Nikkor

I have wanted to do this kind of shoot for a long time. I shot Caitlin (the boudoir model from a few weeks ago) in an old cemetery here in town using the F4E and Tri-X film rated at ASA 200 with the 35-70mm f/3.5 AIS (a lens I am really growing to love!) on an overcast early evening. Film is...

Joe's conscience finally gets the best of him. He texts his nextdoor Neighbor "Bill, I can no longer remain silent, I have been tapping your wife for the last year, I hope you can find it in your heart to forgive me!" Bill is utterly devastated. He goes into the bedroom, grabs his .45 and...

I have not had much opportunity to do much portrait work either but I did manage to do a shoot on Sunday. My space in this apartment is very limited compared to home so I have had to improvise. All images were lit with my Sunpak 555's bounced into umbrellas.

I have not have much time the past few months to do much photography but managed to get some shot last Friday. The corn is above my head by now and makes for some interesting abstract work. We have some pretty sudden and severe weather come up which also makes for some interesting skies...

I am leaving IA for 3 days and travelling back to FL for 3 days. My youngest daughter (26) is getting married tomorrow! She is the first of the "grandkids" to get married. She is marrying a good man and me and my wife get along great with our future in-laws.

Tam and I are coworkers here at the hospital and have become very close and dear friends, more like brother and sister. She is very photogenic but also shy and I finally convinced her to let me photograph her. I am very limited here since all of my studio stuff is at home but I went on Ebay and...

A truly mind blowing, 2.5 hour show. I tried for 3 weeks to get a pass to shoot the show but to no avail. I was stuck with having to rely on my Blackberry. Needless to say the images were total crap, but the experience was worth it. Below is a little tribute to my all time favorite rock and roll...

Liz is brand new to modeling but very photogenic. Her complexion is nearly flawless. She takes direction extremely well and the lens loves her, as you can see from the photos. Her husband Jesse came along too and I promptly put him to work holding the flash and taking meter readings! Every one...

I pass by this scene each day on the way to the hospital and before daylight saving's time I saw it after dark as well. I waited for the moon to be full and shot it with the D700 and 300mm f/2.8 ED-IF AIS to exaggerate the size of the moon. I would have shot this with the Hasselblad and T-Max...

Well now I can say I have seen EVERYTHING. I go to leave from my apartment to go to the hospital and what do I see? A DOZEN AND A HALF WILD TURKEYS wandering our grounds. The first thought that comes to my mind is "CRAP! I am 1000 miles away from my shotgun!!!!!". The next thought is, "I wonder...

All of these were taken with the "beast", the 600mm f/4 ED-IF AIS with the TC-300 teleconverter except the last one. Everything is shot @ f/5.6 so the depth fo field is paper thin. The microprism is very crisp with just the prime lens but you have to use the ground glass with the teleconverter...

I have not been around here much in the last month or so, been very busy and not a lot of time for photography. I did go out today and shoot a large population of "Honkers", Canadian Geese, in a large lake nearby. They have a habit of sticking their butts in the air as they root around in the...

I am becoming a lens "hoarder" I took these images for insurance purposes but it was not until I realized just how many lenses I have. These photos don't include my two Nikonos (35mm f/2.8 and 28mm f/3.5) Nikkors, which are still at home and the 50mm f1.4 AI'd Nikkor with which I took the...

I never unpacked (though I did pull everything out and re-arrange it) most of the stuff from the Jeep as it was not needed. The Jeep got new shoes yesterday and I will get the oil changed again. About 1000 miles early but I have another 1200 to get there. The engine has 218,000 on it so I will...

I intentionally took both of these almost to "chalk and charcoal" to further strengthen the abstractness of the image. It also emphasizes the cold (though the temperature was about 20º, not all that cold if you are dressed for it). I wish I had had the Hasselblad with me, a mistake I won't make...

Although I am very happy with this image, I felt absolutely miserable for this poor beautiful animal. It was 17º (-8 for you folks with that funny Celsius thing) with blowing snow. I was dressed for it so I was very comfortable. All this poor animal had was a very thin layer of hair and it was...

I shot this yesterday and all of that snow was gone by late this morning but it is snowing again and is supposed to continue through tonight and into tomorrow, with 5-8" possible. D700 and 80-200mm f/4 AIS around 180mm +/-.

The gig in Laramie did not pan out because they hired a full time person in the slot I would have taken. The hospital in Winnebago is actually on an Indian reservation and the hospital is about the size of the one where I am now. Their demographics will be essentially 100% Winnebago Indian. The...

I got up a little before dawn and headed south to a reservoir which supposedly had a lot of Bald Eagles. No baldies, but a very nice dawn! Not 3 miles further south and I started hitting sleet, another few miles and it was snow and by the time I got to Alpine (about 20 miles south of...
