When you travel frequently, you begin to notice the travel clones. I’m one of them. Blue blazer, khaki colored slacks and a white or striped shirt. The difference is if you have a stylin’ iPhone in which you can blog on the fly.

As I sit at Caribou Coffee [but not having a coffee], I found a pic that I really liked.A bit of over photoshopping but its all about the cinematic effect for me lately. I could have done a bit more burning and vignette application to lead the eye but I don’t have all day :-) [...]
On another flight back to California. Part of this will be business related and the balance will be to visit family. I’m no stranger to travelling. In the past 7-8 years, I would estimate that I’m on the road about 50% of the time with major long spikes in the 80-90% range.
Although technology is wonderful, [...]
I went on my own personal foto walk this a.m. I jumped into the car and had my butt down in Olde Towne Petersburg, VA right before 7am. The Farmer’s Market folks were just assembling their goods, a few people were out with their dogs, and other early morning risers were enjoying the cool morning.
I [...]
Here’s what I love about being back home
+ The Weather!
+ Mexican food is sooo much better than any other part of the country EXCEPT maybe along the Texas border where its NOT been corrupted by American tastes. {can you say NO to cheese sauce of everything???}. My grandmother would turn over if we ever put [...]
Well, when you get to sit on your arse for three hours, you tend to find somehting to do. I recently purchased some very nice textures from Jesh de Rox. He has a few websites and the one I used is named Fine Art Textures
Anyhoooo…..since I didn’t have a wide variety of images on my [...]
So, I’m off on my big "going back to Cali" weekend. Going to see my parents, maybe meet up with a few friends, and then have it ALL culminate into the FOOTBALL FINALE! Yes, that would be the Monday Night Football game between my beloved UCLA Bruins and the ugly tangerine Lady Vols of Tennessee.
But [...]
I cannot say this was my best day of shooting. In fact, probably one of my least satisfying. BUT…I met a good group of guys and we made the last part of the session a fun one. Find below various images including the GANG as they photograph the cityscape, totally unaware that I am taking [...]
No coffee for me right now. Ok, I lied. I just polished off a 16oz’er. But I can’t watch Phelps this late at night on the East Coast if I don’t. Ok, I lied again. I just love coffee. But Phelps is a good reason.
I’ve been loving life with my new iPhone. I keep finding [...]
Although the camera is NOT good on the iPhone, I found the pics to be acceptable for web and blogging purposes.—————Here’s my friendly neighborhood ATT dude who fixed me up with my iPhone. He’s trying to dodge my camera.Here are two pictures of the lovely Angela. She is in shadow and shade in the pics. [...]
I had the pleasure of photographing a former agility classmate and competitor. Her junior dog Vickie just earned her RE and also competes in conformation - if I remember correctly, they scored a major recently.
Here are a few pics from the photoshoot held at Joseph Bryan Park in Richmond, VA.
These are the feet of winners…or [...]
I participated in a rescue transport yesterday and LO and BEHOLD, the volunteer we were meeting for the "pickup" owned a Laekenois! So, I took the opportunity to get a shot. Well, he was so loving and such an attention getter that he just had to be INSIDE my camera. As you can see, his [...]
On a trip to Viriginia Beach, I had an opportunity to snap a few pictures along the boardwalk. If you ever get a chance to make it down there, I highly recommend for breakfast the restaurant Pocahontas. WONDERFUL buttermilk pancakes and service was excellent.
I have been using two cameras whenever I’m actively shooting for specific shots [i.e. getting paid!]. I use my small zoom 24-75mm on one camera and my 70-200mm on the other. One camera [smaller lens] has your standard shoulder/neck strap and on the camera with the larger lens, I use a little handstrap deal [...]
I just love the sport of agility. Watching it, photographing it, competing in it - it doesn’t matter. The sport just rocks. Here are a few to get you in the spirit!

Often during my trips to various dog events [and even those homo sapien events] I run into a great vendor. Truthfully, I am NOT a arts and crafts person but every once in a while I find an artist who really has strong work.
Works of Wonder is one of those artists. The art pieces are [...]

The NEW iPhone - and at half the cost! If this doesn’t make everyone drop their old cell phones to pick this new one up, I’m not sure what would. And this price is just outrageous. That’s some down and dirty business. The price? $199 - that’s much cheaper than [...]
