Every Pawn is a Potential Queen

Part of the ornate grand staircase inside Plant Hall at the University of Tampa.


Splash

Bright sun + splashing water = high contrast photo fun.


Chicken in a Foxhole

Just having fun with a bit of visual irony.


I Love the Woods (Infrared Image)

I especially love the woods when I have my infrared camera with me. The medium really allows me to bring out the intricate designs of the interesting trees that I so often encounter as I wander.


Continuity

Even when photographing animals I’m looking for opportunities to render something artistic with my lens. It doesn’t always work out but I’m happy when it does.


Playing Chicken With a Sandstorm

The strong winds yesterday kicked up a sudden sandstorm that I had to contend with while shooting on a ranch. Of course My thoughts at the time were to shoot first, take cover second.


Wilderness (Infrared Image)

I knew the instant I walked into this wilderness area that I wanted to shoot it in infrared. I haven’t worked in that medium for a while and the scenery here was just what I needed to inspire me again.


The Old Fishing Shack

I got to take some time for myself the other day and do a bit of exploring mixed with a bit of  photography. This is an old fishing shack on the banks of a creek that I took several photos of, both inside and out.


Let’s Have a Head Count

One of the settlers at the battle reenactment I was at had this collection of critter skulls on display in their camp.


It’s Been Awhile

I haven’t worked up an artistic black and white image for a long time. I went out shooting for myself for a change last week and this is one of the images I came up with.


Cowboy Candid

This is Guy. He is the ranch foreman where I occasionally shoot equestrian events and he is quite a character. He typically ducks if he sees me pointing a camera in his direction so I have to be stealthy in order to catch him in a relaxed moment.
