These don't really belong in portrait but it is close enough. These images are from a show the KHH had in Beulah, FL, a stone's throw from here, during their annual Beulah Sausage Fest. Each year the Beulah Volunteer Fire Department hosts a 2 day event complete with carnival rides, horse shows...

Sometimes simple is better. A single softbox for main light, a reflector to fill in shadows, a little hair light and light on the background and a fan to provide a little movement for her hair She had the most flawless complexion I have ever seen on someone. Practically no makeup at all in this...

.......the start of beautiful women, sun dresses and itty bitty bikini's! This one is from last year this time, but it is just about that time again this year! It is 68° with cloudless skies here right now and with that kind of glorious weather comes beach shoots again! It's a dirty, miserable...

Shawna is a 42 year old (at the time this photo was taken 4 years ago) mix of French and Creek Indian heritage and is simply a breathtakingly beautiful woman, for ANY AGE. Nothing is more flattering for portaiture than diffused window light, especially for a woman who is no longer in her 20's...

I have watched Baldie chicks grow up and leave the nest from a nest in Decorah, IA for years now. But this year, however, the mating pair (they mate for life) have chosen another nest this year. In order not to stress the nesting pair or possibly endager eggs (which should already have been laid...

If you are military, or even perhaps not, no doubt you have heard about the new Distinguished Warfare medal which is going to be awarded to drone "pilots". Now as a retired US Army Infantryman and Sapper, I don't have a problem in the world recognizing someone for their contributions to the...

Another shoot with Victoria this morning. This time she brought along her stylist and I must say he was just simply precious! As soon as AJ got out of the car, all the bells and lights started going off on my Gaydar. AJ was so proud of these shorts because he "designed" them himself. If this...

Victoria is a new model I just started working with today. She was a pleasure to work with from beginning to end. I have not shot on a rooftop in a while and had kind of forgotten about all the potentially vexing backgrounds! D700, 180mm f/2.8 ED-IF AIS with an 8x ND filter and fill flash

..........and no, I did not take a trip to DC, that is the Puzzle Palace. I stopped off at our zoo in Gulf Breeze this afternoon on the way home and snapped a few photos. Gorgeous day to be outside, 60 degrees and sunny. I really wanted some of the tigers but they were just sleeping under their...

It's a sucky job photographing beautiful young women in sexy bathing suits, but someone has to just suck it up and just do it! D700 and 105mm f/1.8 AIS Nikkor with 2 fill flash on an overcast day. The image is resized so small that you can't see the catchlights in her eyes, but they are there.

This project is going to contain NSFW images so don't open this at work or in front of the wife and kids. Well, I picked up some 35mm TX today in prepartion for my "back to the 60's" retro project. I am going to go out shoot some non descript stuff tomorrow and play around with ASA (remember...

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...
