Executive Cat    February 2013

This is the newest addition to our family, who we found in a shelter. She is the sweetest pet anyone could have. I was setting up lighting ratios for business executive portraits, when she suddenly jumped up on the seat. Doesn't she look very executive like?

Old Burned Redwood in Yosemite Forest    June 2009

My wife and I celebrated our 25th wedding anniversary in San Francisco. We stayed in beautiful bed and breakfast inns. But my one of my most favorite times was to hike through Yosemite where Ansel Adams often worked. This extremely old burned redwood appealed to my rangefinder 35mm film camera, loaded with black and white film.

Flury Looks at a Ball    February 2009

I don't know why I like to photograph cats so much? Perhaps it's because they are so photogenic on the one hand, and because you just can't pose em on the other?

While looking back at some of Ashley and Rich's August 2007 wedding images, this flower caught my interest as a great subject to artistically enhance!

Winter displays    November 2007

There's a little road side store near my home that puts out decorations for sale every winter. This year I finally found some time to stop by.

Interesting Perspectives    Summer 2007

During the summer, I tried to make a point to take some time out and make some personal images. Here's one that I found one evening after dinner.

Chromatic Colors    May 2007

Achieving vibrant colors can sometimes be an issue in digital photography. I was working on optimizing natural chromatic red and blue colors as I captured these flower images.
