Back to 1973 and Rhymin' Simon. I don't know what depresses me more about this song; that Kodachrome has gone the way of the dinosaur or that no one writes wonderful music like this anymore. Thank God for vinyl records! But either way, it is a wonderful song, and if it does not set your foot to...

Ok, this is not exactly current, but I have not had much time to go out shooting and it is even a little too cold here right now for beach stuff. When it comes to the perfect lens for outdoor portraiture, I honesly can't think of a better one than the 180mm f/2.8 ED AIS Nikkor. Razor sharp...

I have been wanting to do this for a while now, going back to the "good old days", the 60's and '70's, they hayday of modern SLR black and white photography. I have wanted to so some nudes and bodyscapes but give them the feel that images had back then. Back when we really didn't care about...

I have wanted one of these amazing lenses for so long and the price is really right on this one! Perfectly rectilinear with essentially no distortion and takes in 110 degrees. Nikon Nikkor 15mm F 3 5 AI s Japanese Lens EXC 052 | eBay

An anything goes, humor with Photoshop, of course within the limits of propriety. Nothing vulgar, violent or overly political. There are bound to be many of us with Photoshop skills and a sense of humor!

Several days ago, during a thread posted by a now banned troll, the subject came up about photographing a DUMPSTER. So here's the deal. Photograph a dumpster in your town. This is not a contest , but it could be very interesting to see what people come up with. Anything goes; color, black and...

Actually, I just pulled out some negatives from April 1989 and the Annual Bausch and Lomb Women's tournament at Amelia Island. I scanned this image of Steffi Graf hitting one of her legendary forehands, taken with an F2S and MD-2/MB-2 and 300mm f/4.5 AIS Nikkor. Alas, B&L is no longer sponsoring...

Maybe I should switch to a longer focal length. Perhaps a fisheye is probably not the best choice for portraiture.

After doing industrial water and waste treatment for over 20 years and getting throughly burned out of all the traveling (up to 1200 miles A WEEK on the road) and dealing with knucklehead engineers who thought they knew more microbiology and chemistry than I did even though I had been doing it...

.........be gentle with your critiques, I am very sensitive, (but the chicks really dig it!);) This image of a sunset in the San Juan Islands (north of Whidbey Is. WA) was taken back in 1984 with an FE-2, 55mm f/2.8 AIS Micro-Nikkor and Kodachrome 64. Ah, the good old days!

If I didn't already have one, I sure as heck would! A very simple setup, two lights and a black muslin background. Oh yes, and a girl, and a real purty one at that too!

I took this portrait of Erin a couple of years ago at the beach. It was an overcast March day, so I did not have to worry about shadows. But on the other side of the coin, I would be having to deal with lower contrast as well. Not to mention no catchlights in the eyes, a no no in portraiture...

I don't miss my days of having to shovel snow one little bit, but to me at least, this guy is pretty dang funny! You have to love someone who really loves his job! Bwahahahahahahahaaaa!!! If you pahk ya cah on the side of the street, you are probably going to get it buried anyway when the...

And we have both a dog and 5 cats and I can attest to this! Dogs, cats and trust. - YouTube Here is another one http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8lOhvS-xyrA&feature=player_embedded

I took this image in a studio model shoot about a little over a year ago but decided to re-work it. This is what my life is down to on a Friday night, but hey, my wife has put up with me for 30 years, she is used to it! I cropped it much tighter, converted it to grayscale, lightened it a lot to...

Taken several years ago but this is the first time I tried a grayscale conversion with it, D700, 300mm f/2.8 ED-IF AIS Nikkor

I took this image almost 30 years ago of a sunset in the San Juan Islands in the Straits of Juan De Fuca(the northern end of Whidbey Island). I waited until the tugboat and barge was in position to take the shot. FE-2 and 55mm f/2.8 AIS Micro Nikkor and Kodachome 64. Approximately half of all...

Shot this with a D700, 180mm f/2.8 ED AIS and a 4x ND. Two strobes for fill, triggered by RF

I took this image of a snipe fly using my favorite macro setup; a PB-6 bellows and 50mm f/1.4 AIS mounted reversed. They are not the most colorful of flies, but they sure are furry! This fly was only about 5mm long. The magnificaition on the D700 sensor was about 3x and the depth of field I am...

Unlike stuff in the studio, on location shots I always strive for simplicity. I took this image during a modeling photoshoot about a year or year and a half or so ago. We got out to the beach very early, before sun up, to get some sunrise stuff. Well as luck would have it, it turned out to be...
