The Welker family photos
|
It's hard to believe it's been almost a year since Shane, Kris Estes, Brian Petersen and I loaded all our triathlon gear into Kris's minivan and headed west for a 'guy weekend' that was a mix of fun and torture.
Fun with the guys, torture with the traithlon.
I had never met Shane before that day, ...

2012 Northstar Hockey
|
This is the second year I've done the team photos for the Flagstaff Northstar hockey team and it proved to be even more fun than the first year.
There were a few more Mini-Mites which meant a few more logistical problems, but once the bit team photos was taken we looped them through in little group ...

2010 Cross Country Photos
|
I got a call at the end of the season to photograph the Flagstaff High School Cross Country team photos and I have to say I was excited to do it.
Being a runner, I'm always amazed at the speeds these kids run - not just at races, but in training. It just makes me sick (and envious) to see them fly b ...

Sandbagging
|
A cloudburst over the San Francisco Peaks fell on the area burned last month in the 15,000-acre Schultz fire, blocking roads and making a mess of the area. Included in the aftermath was the home of Becky and Eric. Here are a few images from Wednesday, July 21, 2010 as friends spent the day filling s ...

The big day
|
An outside wedding in Phoenix in the middle of June can present some meteorological challenges but the temperature plummeted into the 80’s and the clouds literally parted as Bryan and Micaella prepared to start their life together as man and wife.

Schultz fire
|
I left for my normal lunch-time ride Thursday - a quick 18-mile ride from the hospital up Snowbowl a couple miles and back. When I rode past Cheshire, all was normal with the fire. You could see the smoke hanging low across the Peaks. Nothing new.
But on the way back, as I rounded the crazy corner b ...

What do you focus on?

What do you focus on?
As a photographer, that’s a pretty important question.
You have all that’s in front of you to size up and compose, but don’t forget to turn to look at what’s behind you or think about what’s going on out of sight. All the visual options bear down on you like rush-hour traffic a ... - 3 comments

Lunch at Chez Velo
|
|
Today I had my usual for lunch, a thick helping of wind sandwiched between two slices of traffic, washed down with a tall glass of sunshine and a side order of pain.
Like usual, I ate lunch at Chez Velo, a quaint little roadside I frequent along Fort Valley Road. And while they’re open 24-hours, I f ...

In the mood for a photo op

It took about 20 gallons of scolding hot water to raise the temperature of the outside kiddie pool to the level where the kids would do anything but dip their big toe in and beg for me to help. But once at an acceptable compromised temperature, it didn’t take long for them to shake off the remaining ...

Good dancing in bad light
|
I don’t know what it is with gymnasium lighting in this town, but ever since I can remember it’s been a struggle to get enough pixels together to create a descent image. Back in the B&W days, we’d have to use 3200 ASA or push 400 a couple times, but even then you’d get raccoon eyes and horror-movie ...

Nancy, to thee I post

This post is dedicated to my mother-in-law who is always trying to get me to go out and photograph nature and landscapes.
Well, in all honesty, these photographs actually aren't a result of her prodding. I didn’t go out and take a stab at some landscapes. No. That’s not the case. Although as I write ...

Big blog photos

I’ve been spending a lot of time on other photographers’ websites, seeing what works and what doesn’t work – not just photo techniques such as lighting, posing, and post production, but just how their whole website and brand flows.
I’ve seen some amazing images and perfect websites and have thorough ...

Husband: Risky Business

With Keli returning Sunday night after being away for three days, I couldn’t help but be reminded of my favorite movie, Risky Business.
Ok, so not the part about the prostitute.
Not the part about Guido the Killer Pimp.
And maybe not the part about getting rolled and losing all the home furnishings ...
