I live in rural Ohio. It's not exactly an environment that lends itself to natural beauty. I got to thinking today, that if I received some kind of grant money to travel and take pictures, where would I go? There are at least 10 places that are on my list, and I bet you have some too. Here's...

Kind of a bold title, eh? At any rate, just thought I would post up a link to one of the textbooks we've been using for my college coursework. Check it out on Amazon. Yes, it's expensive. It's also the best book on photography I've ever read, and well worth it. This bad boy covers all the...

The kids and I are temporarily living with my parents until May, when we will be moving into a new house. There was a downpour of rain in this area Sunday night and I was awakened at 5:00am by my dog. There was about 8" of water in the basement where I was sleeping. Among the items destroyed...

As many of you already know, I work for a tech company. We also build PCs, so I've been working with our engineers on a new configuration that is based on one of the gamer models. I will take delivery of this beast today: Windows 7 Pro 64-bit Intel Core i7-950 3.06GHz 12GB DDR3 memory 1TB HDD...

How many of you know what an RSS reader is? I recently read a survey that most people have no idea, so don't feel bad if you're one of them. Have you ever seen this symbol?: Ah...now bells are ringing! This is the universal RSS (which stands for Really Simple Syndication) symbol. If you...

Many of you have I'm sure, formed the opinion that I have a serious dislike for pro photographers, due to some of my responses on these forums. While this is true to a certain degree, it's an incorrect assumption. I have nothing but respect for those at the top of this profession. It's the...

A couple more from this past Sunday's shoot. And before it's even brought up, the answer is yes...I realize the second one is blown out. It was done like that intentionally so that certain body parts weren't visible. These were done for her boyfriend, who I'm told is a sucker for baseball. :)
