Freedom Concert

I attended a Freedom Concert in Cincinnati, Ohio which features Sean Hannity, Charlie Daniels, Lee Greenwood, Michael W. Smith, Billy Ray Cyrus and others. Here are some of the images.

Close to home

Sometimes you do not have to go very far to find great photos. In this case, these two images were taken in my yard. The first was from a seed mixture that I planted and the second is from my native wildflower area.

Photos from the past

This was taken in New Mexico in February at the Bosque Del Apache National Wildlife Refuge. Funny, how I never did anything with it until now. What I love besides the lines of the sandhill crane is the great color palette in the background.


This was also taken in New Mexico at White Sands National Monument. One of the most scenic and iconic places in all of the country to photograph landscapes.

More Summertime Photos

The Point Betsie Lighthouse at sunset. This lighthouse is photographed often, even in winter. I do wish that they would get rid of the Lombardy Poplars that really do not help with the composition.




This next image is an experiment, though not original. A piece of glass treated with Rain-X and sprayed with water was suspended over some flowers. The goal was to get the flowers to show in the water droplets. Very shallow depth of field made it tough to get the bigger drops and the smaller drops in focus. Comments are welcomed.

Gordon Lightfoot Concert

Went to the Gordon Lightfoot Concert at the Interlochen School of Arts on July 22, 2009. Really good show. Here are a few of the pics

July Images

Here are a few images that are from the height of summer. Hope it is a good one. The one on the left I will call "Last Light" because it really was the last light.






So ends another Cherry Festival in Traverse City. The weather was fantastic all week and the crowds were huge. Fireworks are one of the most difficult things to photograph. They are unpredictable, unless you are one of the technicians setting up the show.
