Discovery
Portrait photography is quickly becoming one of my favorite areas. To me, the whole point is to tell a story without words. Getting to know the people I shoot, if only briefly, helps me pull out their personalities within a photo and tell (what I feel to be) a compelling story in the confines of a single exposure. Children are subjects I find to be increasingly easy to photograph, especially if you just...

Close to the chest
Close to the chest – that’s where the old timers play their cards. A lot can be learned from the “old timers,” and a good deal can be positioned by playing your cards close to the chest. Too many people these days let it all hang out. Wear everything on their sleeves. Leave nothing to the imagination. Now, I’m not talking about areas in need of full disclosure. Rather, I mean...

Livingston, I presume?
Jonathan Livingston Seagull is one of my favorite books. Now granted, it’s no substitute for the Bible. But it has a great message, it’s short enough to read in one evening sitting, and it’s written by a great inspirational writer named Richard Bach. And, whenever I see seagulls I prefer to think of them in the light of Bach’s book rather than how they are (humorously) portrayed in...

Those boats (if you can call them as such – they are often more like moving warehouses on the water) appear periodically during the day and offer some wonderful...

It was a beautiful morning, especially with the recent cool front that took the sting of heat and humidity out of the air. The sun was bright and bold even by 7:00 AM. It was also dancing in and out of some very thick cumulus clouds, making an ever-changing stage for exposures. Gaggles of seagulls...

Towering
I really do have a fascination with shooting street lamps. They can be majestic, grimey, utilitarian, ornate, everything. They also stand in as great models – they don’t move, blink, twitch, complain, or have high fees. They’re rarely prima donnas. My approach here was to capture a majestic, if over-powering, view of a street lamp. The shot was late afternoon, with some whispy clouds in...

The hook of FIFA
My absence as of late can be largely attributed to one game: FIFA 12. Granted, I’m a little late on joining that bandwagon, as the game hit shelves on September 30, 2011. It was, to me, one of those titles...
