Where are you heading?
“Is this the path I mean to be on? Am I heading in the right direction? Am I happy? Is my family happy?” This mental check-in is essential for the health of my photography and for my own sanity.
A Photographer’s Interpretation
What I love about this art is our ability as photographers to interpret a moment. I realize creating an image is not simply a recording of events but a reflection of a photographer’s interpretation of events. These interpretations can be manipulated by our choice of color, dodging, burning, cloning etc.
Old Faithful Photowalk Was a Blast
The Old Faithful Photowalk was a total success. We had a great group, perfect weather, and an overall excellent time. Send me your questions for this week’s Q&A Friday, and remember I have one more spot available in the August Yellowstone Workshop.
Technology can inspire
I know it’s been said time and time again, it’s not the equipment that counts – it’s the visualization. I totally agree with that statement, but I’m also a strong believer that there are times that gear or technology can spark creativity or push us outside our comfort zone.

Yellowstone Workshop
I don’t know how many of you had a chance to watch the live launch of Photoshop CS5 yesterday, but let me just say, “wow!” Photoshop has really evolved in the last 20 years and I think this latest edition might be a must-have update. Here are two things that really caught my eye as [...]

On the road again
I’m going to mix it up a bit this time around and try to get into the park (Yellowstone, as if there’s another
for a few extra days, but this time with a 500mm in tow. I decided to rent a 500mm and a 24mm tilt/shift to add to the list of lenses I’ve been meaning to try. I’ll keep you posted from the road via Twitter.
