I spend a lot of time processing images. I justify the time and effort by considering it training. In order to be able to process an image to my vision, I need to understand what’s possible. I am constantly trying to figure out what I like to see, and how I like to see it.

I can’t break free to travel to a special location as often as I’d like. Instead I’ve decided to look for subjects close to home that I can shoot when the time becomes available. Living in LA means there are dozens of car shows every week. If I don’t have anything scheduled, I can just drop in at a show and spend some time with the old cars.

It amazes me how the mesas & buttes rise out of the still black nothingness.

I was just playing around combining two elements within a single photograph.

Soccer season will be starting in about 4 weeks. I’ve been keeping an eye out for interesting soccer images. I’ll be shooting soccer and baseball at the same time!

Last week my buddy Moose pointed out that it would be possible to drop a slideshow into a blog using Adobe Flash. What a great idea! I decided to test it out using images from my “nature” portfolio. This is my early proof of concept. Over time I will add more transitions and effects. If you want to learn more about programming in Adobe Flash, be sure to check out the training by Rafael “RC” Concepcion. I took his online course and he gave me a solid understanding of the basics of Flash.

Thanks Moose & RC!

was calling my name. I had to shoot it.

I went shooting with my “old” buddy at the March Field Air Museum last week.

What a beautiful way of hiding the gas cap!
