If you want to see my best Granite Dells image yet, come on down. This canvas is 36×54″, and it’s in the front window at the Ian Russell Gallery. This is #1 of 25 that I’ll be doing in this size. Gotta say, I love this print! This image is a 3 exposure HDR. It [...]

Scott Kelby’s World Wide Photo Walk 2011

Thursday, August 4, 2011

The other day I read on Kelby’s site that the next photo walk was coming up. Cool! For two years I did the photo walk here in town. Last year I stepped back and let someone else run it here in Prescott. This year I threw my hat in the ring to do it again. [...]

Into the Dells once again

Wednesday, August 3, 2011

Well, not a surprise. I mean, I live in the Dells and all. So every day I go into the Dells. What a lame title. Last night I popped over to Watson Lake Park. Meeting a family for a quick “Giant Family” portrait. They just needed one good shot. The whole family together in Prescott. [...]

30 days, 30 Posts & Pictures……Can he do it?

Tuesday, August 2, 2011

What’s on your Mac…..CS____?

Tuesday, February 17, 2009

I broke down and did it. CS4 is now on the gallery system! After reading about all the amazing updates in CS4 I couldn’t wait any longer. Glad to say the business is paying for this! Now, I’m no CS4 expert, especially since I just got it. But I’ll be working on learning about all [...]

Requests, commissions, and the “boy I’d like to see thats….”

Tuesday, February 17, 2009

In the past few months I’ve learned a lot. Ian has gotten a chuckle out of some of my gallery lessons. The funny thing is, I keep re-learning them. Up front I’ll say the following, and I’m not crabbing, just relaying experience: When you order prints online you pay up front. I’ve used MPix.com for [...]
