Ginger and Tina

I just got done processing some photographs that I took of my friends Ginger and Tina. These girls are sisters and they wanted some photos of each other as keepsakes. I had a lot of fun and I think I got some nice ones... although, it's not that hard, they are pretty photogenic!

Strange Folk Festival

I'm very excited to be apart of the 3rd annual Strange Folk Festival. Strange Folk is the Heartland’s largest outdoor indie arts and crafts show. They are featuring 125 vendors from across the country along with plenty of eco-freindly craft activities, exhibits, live bands, and local cuisine under a canopy of beautiful trees! Over 10,000 folks attended last year, and Strange Folk was declared “BEST OF 2008″ in the craft show category by The Riverfront Times.

My friend Ginger from Serendipity Beyond Design will be there with me so please come by and see us!

Liam Michael at 11 weeks

Beautiful little Liam came over last night and I took the opportunity to take some more photos of him, how can I not?! He is too precious!

More HDR fun...

I decided to play with some HDR photography with the front of my house. I took this photo at twilight right before a storm rolled in, it actually turned out pretty good, I don't think my house has ever looked so nice!

Think Different

"Think Different" was a poem which was used in Apple's brand campaign from 1997-2002 says in a nutshell why I am such a loyalist to this brand. I thought a quick little post on Apple was the least I could do to show my respect for the company.



Think Different.

Here’s to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They’re not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can praise them, disagree with them, quote them, disbelieve them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can’t do is ignore them.

Because they change things. They invent. They imagine. They heal. They explore. They create. They inspire. They push the human race forward.

Maybe they have to be crazy. How else can you stare at an empty canvas and see a work of art? Or sit in silence and hear a song that’s never been written? Or gaze at a red planet and see a laboratory on wheels? We make tools for these kinds of people.While some see them as the crazy ones, we see genius.

Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do.

Firworks in Mason, MI

While up in Michigan over the 4th visiting my family we were able to see a very nice fireworks display. Here are some of my better shots from the evening. This was my first time shooting fireworks and I had no idea what to expect. I took some from the field then I went over to the corndog stand and took some more with the stand in the foreground. The cars you see were from the car show earlier in the day... some very nice cars came out.

Enjoy, click on an image to it them larger.

Herbie The Love Bug!

So I was just up in Michigan visiting family over the 4th and on the way home off the side of the IL interstate was Herbie! I had to drive to the next exit, turn around and drive back a couple miles then pull off the highway to see him. Oh but that is not all! I also had to walk through very tall grass/weeds that I was certain contained snakes... but being the photographer I am :) I did it anyway! I hope you enjoy these images. I will post my 4th of July images soon, I got some nice firework shots.
